You know it’s bad when your fellow missionaries are emailing you and calling you by your first name and asking if you’re "trunky"? Trunky is a word we use for a missionary whose mind is at home and not on the Lords work. Am I trunky? Only when I have to plan my return trip home such as how am I going to get all my stuff home and what am I going to do for the summer, and saying goodbye to people. Essentially I am only trunky when I get bombarded with the question by my fellow missionaries. To some I tell them to ask my companion, because he is the one who would know best if my mind is here or there.

Service project with E. Norton (L) and E. Brand (R). We helped a member
clean out storage lockers that she rents to students.

Our Memorial Day included some fantastic weather. It rained in the morning but then the skies opened up to some warm sun and the humidity. Riding the bikes was wonderful until.... Elder Norton's new bike broke. Two weeks ago we had the tire get punctured, but yesterday his entire peddle decided to fall off. Once again, we were stranded in the furthest possible area from our apartment and not a member for miles around to help us. We did a jimmy rig fix so that Elder Norton could get his bike to the closest member’s home, but they weren't home. So we chilled on their lawn chairs while we called a bunch of members until one was able to come and help us. Hurray for Bro. Boston!!! Elder Norton rode 300 meters and it broke again!!! Does this make us sound pathetic now? The car gets taken away, buss stations closed, bikes get stolen, and then bikes break twice, all sorts of transportation troubles. I'm not convinced that we will ever have a smooth week of transportation ever. Something has to go wrong!

This week is packed for us fortunately. Monday was Memorial Day so we had regular proselyting. Today is P-Day. In the evening we will be disk golfing with the Priests in the Ward - Fun! Tomorrow is my last Zone Conference. That will take up nearly all of our day, and then we have three appointments in the evening to fill up our entire Wednesday. Thursday we have a service project and our weekly planning session. This week will go by quick.

Pday Lunch!

That's about all I have. Scripture for the week: Jacob 4:12

 12 And now, beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things; for why not speak of the atonement of Christ, and attain to a perfect knowledge of him, as to attain to the knowledge of a resurrection and the world to come?

Thank you, love,

Elder Luymes
