My new address is 107 Community Way #522 Staunton VA 24401
I am in a trio- three of us together now (which basically means
instead of a dynamic duo of me and another person its not a terrific trio
because there are 3 of us.) are freaking amazing,
Elder Todd is a super caring and awesome guy and is profound
in the scriptures (he has pretty much every scripture memorized in the Bible
and Book of Mormon, and you might think that's impossible but it is not... ‘cuz
he has it all down.) and Elder Hansen is the Guru of anime, movies and
videogames but is still way more knowledgeable then me for the mission.
Freaking amazing trio we have. Whatever one of us lacks, the other two make up
for it no matter what. Going to church in the Staunton Virginia area is awesome
because everyone is farmers or crazy (awesome that is) or both.
We cleaned out a chicken coop Saturday and because I had food
poisoning from eating too much uncooked meat in the lasagna a member made for
us on Tuesday, we kind of took it easy for a day or two. Thankfully
(unknowingly) since I ate the entire pan of lasagna that the members made us,
none of the family or my companions had to suffer those shenanigans. (Maybe I
just ate too much) Taking one for the team... one Lasagna at a time.

Elder Todd was super worried about me when I was sick and wanted to work, so we pulled out the walker we had in the closet and he had (made) me use it the day after I had the food poisoning for near the entire day. We were able to teach a few recent converts and talk to them about the importance of learning more and constantly strengthening their testimony in Jesus Christ.
Oh, also crazy story, so my ride up to Staunton I was with Ian, a member of the Staunton Ward who... guess what... apparently his
sister knows Ryan form the Milan Italy Mission (because they served in the same
place somewhere) and the day that we were driving up, found out that his sister
had hung out with Ryan the previous Friday. Weird coincidences that are Godsend
to have me feel more at home, first in Glen Allen (my previous area) it was the member who served in the Spanish
Branch in our Valencia Stake (or group of congregations) in 1991-93 now its the
member who’s sister knows my bro! (Plus he reminds me a ton of Adam and Alex
Howard combined, which is super cool too).
