Week 9!!

"Hello Mom, I am doing OK, as far as that picture goes it was taken from Sister Brown. Brother Brown who is named Charlie Brown had his own birthday on Saturday in which he did a 62 mile bike ride for his 62nd birthday. That was also taken during exchanges in which I was with Elder Thompson who is one of the Zone leaders. He is pretty funny and had his 20th birthday on March 11th. He is from Oklahoma and said maybe my mission call will be there but who knows. 

The new tie was something I got from a company Called Tough Tie which is in Mesa. The tie has 5x the stitching and is liquid repellent. I did get one in green since I didn't have one for st. Patrick's Day.  

Also I am glad that you had a good birthday. 

I did write to my mission president that I had a desire to serve outside of the country but he told me in the situation that I am in that it may not be an option which is a huge disappointment. The funny thing is that I met someone during exchanges with Elder Hobbs who said he had a friend with Aspergers who served a mission in Taiwan. Of course that took place about 40 years ago so the church may have changed a lot since then but I would like to see either me or someone else with a mental condition to serve outside of the country again. 

We did go to the Temple today and I prayed a couple times in the Celestial room about my mission call and among other things. I could have stayed there all day because the General Authorities are looking over it today or they have already finished the process by now. Serving out of the country is my biggest desire for a mission call at the moment but I have no idea what will happen until next week. My Mission President asked if I wanted to Skype you or ask if you wanted to come down to the mission office when I open it. I have not made a decision on what I will yet. As far as that dresser goes I kind of like the color it is now but it's up to you. Anyways I hope your visit to Christian and Megan was fun and I will talk to you later."
