Today is the yesterday of tomorrow

(Elder Slade)



To the best friends and family a person can hope for,

I'm in my new area! I am in Ammon North, which is just east of Idaho Falls. It's a walking area, and let me tell you, walking all day in 95 degree heat, is rough. I've been sweating a lot! I don't understand, I thought Idaho was supposed to be cold. But, it's been fun, a good change of pace from my last area, where we lived 20 minutes away from our area. My two new companions are Elder Thompson, from South Carolina who was reassigned from Ghana Africa, and Elder Snow, from California who was reassigned from Micronesia/Guam. So far we've been getting along great! We get talking about a lot of weird stuff. I'll just say, we've had some very interesting discussions...

One of the people we're teaching is a single father named Moses, and he is awesome! He accepts everything we teach him, and he is preparing for baptism on August 22nd. What a stud! We're teaching quite a few more people, but not too many that are progressing. We're going to really work on finding and setting up expectations this week.

I was pretty sad to leave some of the people in Sugar City. There are such amazing people there, and I love them, they really helped me grow and supported me there. Leaving them made me think of all of you. Thank you so much for supporting me on coming out on my mission. Thanks for being such great friends! I love you guys. If you can endure 6 months of lame potato puns, then you are good people in my opinion. You guys are spudtacular! I Idaho-pe you all are doing well. The title comes from a really confusing conversation I had with Elder Baron before I left
