Elder Meyers and I on a cool mountain road after some "off roading" through the muddy road. Thankfully we didn't get stuck! 
This poor car was well taken care of by the sisters before us - we are certain this is the first time it's ever been this dirty.
Picture
Elder Schick is in love with Oregon!
How could you not be? It is absolutely beautiful.
Mom sent him a sun light bulb to put in his desk lamp and a little vitamin D. It was a great suggestion from a dear friend who lived in Oregon. Sending a little sunshine to my Arizona boy! Although, I think he is in love with the rain!
​He told us that it is very Skyrim or Lord of the Rings like...

We found the most prized Chanterell mushroom, and rather large ones as well! These are like really desireable, so we were super stoked to find some massive ones! Apparently they fetch a pretty price too, so we might make some bank as well💰💰

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Love, The Elders in Veneta, Oregon

It is wonderful when you receive special little texts from ward members about your missionary. This beautiful photo, of these two amazing men, came from the bishop of their ward. They are celebrating Christmas with their ward family.

​We went tracting one day and we knocked on this dude's door. He had a
Master Chief helmet sitting on his porch, from the game Halo. I asked
him before we left if he was the Halo fan and he said yes! So we
talked Halo a bit, then he straight up offered me the Master Chief
helmet... For free. I was stunned, my childhood dream was to have one,
and now I’m getting offered one, a really nice one, for free. I thought
the dude was joking, but he says his head is too fat to wear it and
rather make someones day then have it sit there. So I took it!!!!! Now
I have this Master Chief helmet sitting on my desk, that I may or may
not wear during studies...
