July 18th Already!

Next week is Luke’s farewell and Matt will be married in a few weeks. I rolled my ankle this morning playing basketball. It hurts. Two unrelated statements! How does he do it?

So I was working in Tacuarembo with Elder Ahlstrom last week. We had a really good time and found some good investigators and had a baptism. And then President and his wife picked me up in Tacuarembo with my companion and we traveled doing interviews and yearly house inspections all this week. I never thought traveling would be so tiring, but I am just as tired as when I walk in the street all day.

Transfers are next week. Elder Harmon will no longer be my companion. I am really bummed about that. I thought I was going to get to kill him, but I thought wrong. My new companion will be Elder Clark. He is from UT and has a transfer less than I do. He is cool.

I wanted to give a shout out to Grandpa and Grandma Shepherd. I am not sure if I remember right, but I know their anniversary is coming up or just recently past or something like that. Is it number 50? I am not quite sure. I am a bad grandson and I apologize, but I wanted you to know that I love you both so much!! I have such fond memories of being in your home and being with family. Thank you for everything!!

Time to go! Take care! The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church! I love you all!
