And Now It's Time for Silly Songs with Larry

大家好！Hey Everyone!

I'm starting to lose the little Chinese I was able to speak. Language studies have been getting eaten up by other random stuff and I haven't been keeping it up very well. Also a couple people in my district are experiencing a “mid-mission crisis” and it’s been rubbing off slightly *gulp* but I’ll get over it, and I think God will help me and the others get over it too.

Zone Conference happened yet again. Our beloved mission president is still figuring out how to make more interesting training discussions. We found out that the Book of Mormon musical will be in Calgary for a bit at the end of the year. . . sooo. . . that will be fun to deal with. We did a musical number that will be recorded in a couple weeks.  [Editor's note:  we don't think the musical number had anything to do with the Book of Mormon musical.]

We had a fun exchange on Friday with the Zone Leaders and Elder Tang who is also in that companionship. They came and blitzed our area, so we were basically on different sides of the reserve. The side I was on involved a goose chase for some guy we never found, but we did get to share some cool truths with a recently widowed lady. We helped serve some food at a wedding as well. We had a fun time singing some hymns and other silly songs together at night!  [Editor's note:  we don't think Elder Baer meant to imply that hymns are silly.]

I totally failed to remind everyone about the holidays this week! We had Rosh Hashanah a little while ago and Yom Kippur on Saturday. Yom Kippur is a super cool holiday focused on Jesus Christ. Its English name is “Day of Atonement.” The purpose of the rituals in Yom Kippur are to clean the community of sin and reconcile everyone with God. However, Atonement (or At-one-ment with God) is something we can strive for every day! I’d invite you all to find something you can do to develop At-one-ment with God. Whether that involves a friend, family member, or just you and your Father in Heaven, I promise that as you strive for greater unity with God, you will find more peace of mind and you won’t feel alone in what you’re doing.

Carry On! Stay cool everyone!
