Mother's Day

Family,
So.. I just barely got off the phone, but I thought I'd send an email too.

My new companion got here last Monday, like I said, and we've been spending this week getting him oriented. We've had to plan out when all the missionaries are coming and going for transfers, plus zone leader council which is this coming weekend, and then leadership training which is this next week. It's been a mess, because everyone needs a place to stay, and we can only have so many people stay in certain places because they need to have enough car space to be able to transport everyone back and forth to the meetings.

We have another new missionary orientation this week as well, and we usually do it at the mission home with the Dowdles, but they're going to a correlation meeting in Japan this week so it's just going to be us and the fresh ones in the office. We will get to go bowling this weekend for zone leader council though, so that's going to be a treat.

Sorry for anyone who wasn't on the phone when I called because I don't have much to say now, but I'll just go through all the pictures I sent and explain.

That's it on this memory card.

Love,

Elder Barlow
