Latest letter (with departure date revealed)
Mike still sounds super busy and very happy. He is not excited about coming home, but Mom managed to drag his departure date out of him, so the countdown timer has been adjusted appropriately and should be accurate up to a few hours now. Here is a good portion of his last letter home this week:
Are you enjoying conference? Its been really good stuff so far for us. We've been watching it with Zone conference in mind trying to see what and how we can apply the words of our leaders in the things we decide to do in ZLC and ZC this transfer. So it is amazing out here, i'm sure its the same there. > Just to answer your question and get it out of the way quickly here, my release date is August 8, thats the day i'll fly home. Sister Phillips here in the mission office should be sending some stuff here soon i think, probably this week, usually she does it 4 months before our release date because she has to book the flight 90 days in advance. So there you go. We had transfers on Thursday this week, So Elder Lee and Elder Van Leeuwen went home. Well, Elder Lee went home, Elder Van Leeuwen is traveling the mission with his parents until Tuesday. Both of them said they were going to go visit y'all, so you'll have to set up a time for the family to come over and meet them. And Elder Van Leeuwen wants to try Dads taco's, hahahaha, I told him about them and he thinks they sound really good. So you'll have to see what you can do. I thought that would be fun for y'all to have my two favorite companions come over and chat with ya, hahaha, you'll like both of them, they are awesome. So maybe they'll call soon. I have my new companion, Elder Gillett, from Woods Cross, UT. He's good, this should be a really good transfer. I've been looking forward to it. > We should have a busy week this week though. We'll have ZLC on Wednesday and an exchange with ZL's after that. Then we'll have two exchanges the week after as well as 3 zone conferences. Those weeks are always the best. I love the way busy weeks, they are so much fun. We are always just bouncing off the walls busy and so tired but they are the best. So it is going to be a good transfer that I'm looking forward to.
