Mission Update: June 12, 2006
Hello!!!!
Forgive me, this will be short as I don’t have that much time. The last few days have gone well and quickly. I’m currently living out of a suitcase with Elder Nielson and Elder Mulroney. I was only supposed to be with them a couple days, however I’ve been here since Thursday. I was supposed to go with the Assistants to the President, but that is not going to happen until sometime tomorrow. It’s been fun with these two missionaries. I don’t think I’ve ever played as much cards in my life, and I certainly have not walked as much as I have the last few days for a while. I’ve had a car for all but six months of my mission, so I am not used to walking everywhere. It’s been okay though. Good exercise I suppose.
Played some soccer and volleyball this afternoon. I had a pretty good time. Got a little sun. On the way home, we were rear-ended (we were with missionaries who had a car). It was raining a little and the guy looked away for a moment, then saw we were stopped, locked his brakes and slid right into us. Not fun. I don’t think anyone is going to be too sore from the impact. The car we were in was only two weeks old…an 06 Malibu. The bummer has a rather nasty dent, but other than that it seems to be okay.
I know there is more I want to write, but nothing else seems to be coming to me now. I suppose I will send a final mission update in a few days…this time from Virginia Beach.
I hope things are going well with you. I look forward to talking/seeing/being in more constant contact with you.
God Bless,
- Elder Joel

Joel, Have a safe trip back home! Good luck always, Kathi
I really wanted to visit before leaving the area, but I just didn’t make it. My last evening there I requested to stop for a brief visit, as we were about five minutes away, but the missionaries escourting me seemed to be running late and didn’t honor the request. I hope you can forgive me.
