October General Conference

Letter to Dad, October 5, 2015 

Yeah sounds like you had a pretty busy week! But that's good! At least

you didn't get called as an apostle this week... Haha then you would

have been SUPER busy. Maybe next time.. But yeah we were able to watch

both morning sessions live (it's the night for us) but still. We were

able to get on this lovely thing called our iPad and watch it live

haha I really liked all the talks about mothers and women and stuff,

they were really directed at me specifically but at the same time we

can all take a step back and really relate to what they are saying. I

know it made me think a bit more about what type of person I wanna

marry and what I would have to do to marry someone like that.  You got

lucky with mom.. But maybe unlucky as well... Cause they always say

the apostles are only reflections of their wives... So maybe in a

couple conferences they'll be callin R. Fredrick Schettler to the

pulpit. Hahaha you aren't apostle quality but mom just might be.. So

be careful.

It was sorta hard to watch Thomas s Monson talk, he is getting a

little old and fragile. But no need to worry, cause it is all the

Lord's timing.

Yeah I sent mom most of the school stuff I was thinking about. I have

been thinking maybe UVU, USU, or maybe a BYU-I or Hawaii ( anything but

Provo) but I would mostly just like to maybe see a list of majors and

other stuff, I would probably just go there for two years and then

transfer. Maybe even LDSBC if they have good majors. So for now I just

need to see the majors and that should help me make a more educated

decision on what path I am wanting to take and everything. But if I

end up at BYU it's not cause I like them... But because that is where

are the future wives are haha.

Well two threesomes is mostly because it is a branch and a group

(group is like a mini branch) so we in total combined have about 20

people come to church so our branch couldn't handle two equipes of

missionaries and the Ajaccio group couldn't either. So they couldn't

do that and also my companion is branch president so that forces us to

go see a lot of sisters considering that we only have 1 priesthood

holder in our branch the rest are sisters. So we can't see them if we

are just two missionaries and they are alone, it just made it simpler

to make us a threesome so we wouldn't have to worry about finding

another man to always be with us. But this is the last week of the

transfer so I will be getting my call to know if I get to go train

elder Thangaraj or if I stay in Bastia haha jk I probably won't be

training Palani... But I would love too! He is almost here! I have

been waiting since April for this!

Utah is looking super good this year! I am a little sad that I can't be there to go to the games and watch everything with you guys but next season when they are defending national champions I will be just as happy. Haha but I bet Utah is getting hooked up this year cause they are super good with new uniforms and stuff. They had retro jerseys! Super cool! Just remember if you see anything cool that Christmas isn't too far around the corner.. Haha

But those dirt bikes sound super fun too! We will have to take those out and give them a ride when I get back! I would love to do that if we get the chance! Write down all the cool trails so you do not for get where we need to go back, preferably the easier ones so I don't kill myself right off the bat. That's good that mate is playing goalie! I am happy to hear he is enjoying it too! It will be fun to watch him play when I get back and maybe give him some pointers on what to do. The weather here on Corsica is still pretty mild I can swear a short sleeve shirt everyday, but a light sweater is good at night. I really enjoy the weather down here and I'm sure you would too! It is getting colder but for now it is pretty nice.

I'm sorry to hear about Charlie and his knee! I know how much missionaries love the senior couples and I can tell you he will be missed in his mission until he gets back! Maybe you and mom will serve a senior mission someday! Haha you could request to serve in Spain again! Jk

But yeah this week we mostly spent trying to prepare Sabrina for her baptism and to get everything ready. We had to go pick a spot, teach her a couple more lessons get her interview done and set up how we were gonna do church because she had to do it in Sunday! She works on every other day of the week and so yeah. It was a very work stressful work in the sense that we had to do a lot of problem solving and stuff. It was fun to prepare another baptism though! We also had to go to nice this week to figure out my legality so I can stay here in France! Haha so we took the boat to Toulon and drove over to nice on Monday morning! Then after a couple stressful events we finally got everything we needed to do what we needed to at the legal offices and we then showed up and it was too late for that day! So we had to cancel our boat that we were going to take that night and spent the night with the Nice zone leaders. Then the next morning we woke up early and got there just as it opened and got my stuff done by 12!

Then we went directly to the port to take our boat back to Corsica. It was during the day so it was sorta boring and we didn't have a cabin so we had to sit on hard chairs the whole time, but I guess it is our own fault for mission the one the day before! But now I am legal in France so that is all good! The faith building thing this week was he baptism of Sabrina! It is always such a cool experience to baptize some one and see all the changes they make in their life and the blessing and huge changes in their lives that as so easily recognizable by people around them.

My friends are all doing well. I hear from them every week more or less and mom sends me updates on them once a month so I am never too far behind. I hear mark Olsen opened a little snack thingy in Holladay and is supposedly doing pretty well from what I hear? But anyway, they are all doing pretty well!

As for college I am thinking that UVU and probably and if that doesn't work out I would also like to apply to Utah state. So information on those two would be great! Thanks so much for doing this. We will need to find money for scholarships though.
