thanks for the email. this week has been pretty crazy. we went to Eugene on Wednesday as well as Saturday for general authority visits. first on wednesday Elder Snow of the Seventy toured the mission with his wife on Wednesday and Thursday so we got to meet them and shake their hand. They were a lot of fun and they taught us a ton. We had to drive our own car there which was a beast because it killed our miles. but it was a lot of fun. it was about a 3 to 3.5 hour drive so it took basically all day. we left at about 9 and didnt get back till 10:30. but it was good. we had a good meeting and afterwards they had dinner for us. at the dinner it was super weird because this 60 something year old guy came up and started talking to elder moua. it was fine at first because he was just asking about his ethnicity and explained that he just got back from china. then he started crying telling him that when he looks at him he sees all the kids that he taught. which was fine except he kept stroking the back of his head. then he kissed elder moua on the forehead which was incredibly awkward for everyone at the table. i thought i would have to protect my companions from the young ladies, not really old guys who love asians. so we had a really slow week because of the meetings but Elder Anderson came to the mission on Saturday with Elder Stevenson head bishop of the church, Elder Rasband, and Elder Hansen. It was awesome to be able to shake their hands. Elder Anderson is actually really funny so we had a good time. the whole mission was together for that so it was awesome to be able to see all the missionaries. I found out that Angela, a investigator down in Ashland that I with Elder Gamez and later Elder Jackman taught went through with her baptismal date that we set for the 28th of July. so that was awesome. btw i finally found someone to give that book of mormon away to that sister starr gave me. it was the first family that i found that had anyone close to the ctr5 class. their names are Sergio, Sherry, Morriah(6), and Victoria. so I when i have time will write up the story so i can give it to you to get to her.
There was also a baptism last night for a kid named Tanner that the Birts (the senior couple here) were teaching. I got to interview him for baptism and while we were filling out his address i realized that he was in our ward. so they were poaching which i wouldnt suspect a senior couple to do but oh well. we love them anyway. they are super awesome. they just bought us tie clips and they are taking us out to post later to get milkshakes. I am pretty much adopting them to by my 3rd set of grandparents. they can be my utah grandparents. anyways that is pretty much all that happened this week! love you all!
