#33- Q & A

It's been another average week with teaching and helping others which is always fun, don't get me wrong.

William is on date for April 30th. Savannah and her mom felt like they needed to wait a little longer so she did not get baptized yesterday. Transfer call came on Saturday, I am leaving Livonia after 6 months being there. Yes Christian this means I'm getting my 4th companion and I'm 7 1/2 months out. Want to know something wrong about today.....It's April 19th and it's snowing right now as I type, I can look out the window and see white stuff falling from the sky!!! It hasn't snowed for like a month and its Spring!!! That's Michigan for you.

I don't think I've said much if at all about Elder Turley's back and shoulder problems so here is the debrief. Two months ago his back popped, didn't think much of it, it hurt for the rest of that week. The next week it was gone, the week after it came back. It was on and off for awhile then a month ago it became more constant and he finally saw a doctor. He had an MRI last week and we went to the doctor today to get the results. Bad news his shoulder is super messed up, shoulder muscles are freaking out and starting to shut down. Shoulder is still grinding (really bad). I think the doctor said he tore his Labrum and some other stuff up in there. Some of the plates on his spine are kinda messed up to due to their size. Today the doctor said that he needs to go home and get it fixed there now so that he can get his scholarship back to play Basketball. Not 100% sure on what's going to happen right now. I'll let you know when I know.

Again here are some Questions that Molly has asked and my answers to the:

Has your testimony grown? It has grown a lot and it is still growing. Some of you know about my 6 month problem and my testimony was diminishing slowly, but since then I have been able to pick myself up again and growing it back up.

Do you feel like you've changed at all? I have changed so much but at the same time I am still me. I think I've changed more spiritually and matured a lot but my personality is more or less the same. I just don't have anyone around to quote Futurama as much with.

If so, how do you feel you've changed? The last question I answered as a two-fer.

What gives you the most strength during the day? The most strength definitely comes from faith, prayer and loving support from your companion.

How can we help you? There isn't really anything that I need right now, I'll let you know when I do need help.

What's the most challenging thing about being on a mission? The most challenging is probably when people cancel on us at the last second because we schedule our day around our set appointments and it sucks not being able to teach the people we need to, sure we have backup plans and it sucks in general when people cancel. Also I'm trying to have more charity and when you cancel it's hard to say, "I love you for cancelling on us," Figure of speach.

What's the most rewarding thing about being on a mission? Seeing people change. Also change in myself.

What would you say to the youth who are considering going on a mission? People say it's the hardest thing you'll do in your life, and it is so true. But it also brings me so much joy to be able to help these people. It has been so rewarding (like last question) and so difficult at the same time. I'm so glad that I'm out here right now.

That's it for now. I hope that you all have an awesome week, I'll let you all know the details when I find them out.
