All Quiet

Yesterday we did not get a general update e-mail from Justin. Christopher and Mark got short reply e-mails from him yesterday, but a general update like he sends to Michelle and I every week was nowhere to be found. Bummer! Occasionally, he has e-mail problems, and perhaps he DID type one, but it got lost in cyberspace or something.

So I'll just post a brief update with a fun story he told us on Mother's Day. But that follows the picture here on the right. This was posted on Facebook by a church member; we actually haven't received any pictures from him in a while (every once in a while, he mails us his digital camera's memory card). We have found that it's a lot of fun being Facebook friends with so many of his ward members, investigators, etc.

Anyway... the story. Justin is a zone leader with his other companion, and they have a third companion, a brand new missionary that the ZLs are training (I bet they work that poor newbee hard!!!). Anyway, so we're talking to Justin on the phone on Mother's Day and he said, "Oh yesterday, Elder Richins had his first gun pulled on him..." (Elder Richins is the newbee). We're like, "Um... you've had guns pulled on you?" Justin casually mentions, "Oh yeah... I think so far like three times on my mission." That was a nice bit of news for Mom on Mother's Day!!! I have a feeling there's a lot we'll learn about crazy stuff that happened, after he gets home. We can't wait, and I can't believe that's now less than six months away!!!

Until next week (hopefully)...
