Elder Bassett - Hello Family! - email (2013-10-14)

So... I already said that I have had a tiring day in my last email.

Thanks for the picture! I am so glad that Grandpa Bassett is able to visit you guys! Is he using the back bedroom? I hope I did not leave random stuff everywhere. I think it is SO crazy that Stewart is back already! It felt like he left only a little while ago!
So the best news to tell you! On the 26th, Elder Ballard is coming to speak with the Missionaries!!! I am so stoked! it will be the learning opportunity of a mission! I don't know how widely known they want this to be known, but I don't think there is any harm in telling you. Also! on the 30th I get to attend the Columbia River Temple! That will be my P-day that  week, so I will be writing emails then. It will be an awesome week! Plus, Isaac and Angel will be progressing quite nicely at that time! (Hopefully!)

Dad: I am going to check out those passages in Moses this afternoon. I can't wait to see what you mean!

Jordan: I want to see a picture of this new bike of yours! and please stay safe! I am working on those anecdotes. I am also working on Black Book stories!! :P I also am loving the facial hair!
Amy: I really love you weekly poems! Can you keep them saved for me? I will try to put on my God-Glasses!
Emery: You do know that if you add an "!" for every week, that by the end you will be putting 100 right? Good job on you Georgia Tech Application! I love Ride! It is loud and proud. If you play it well it blows people's socks off! I met a little girl last night named Emrie. I found it very cool. remember to work hard and be an example of the believers!
Zakiah: Love Ya Zakiah! Remember that stress is good for you! Remember that when people question your reasoning, they don't trust you as a leader. Don't feel bad, you just have to develop that trust. I run into the same thing here. The people that listen are the ones that understand that I want to help them. Don't be too worried and remember to smile. And I don't high five my comp very much. we do have a "bro" hug after our daily planning and comp prayer.
Annalise: You crazy Girl! You are going to OLD!!! (Love ya!) Remember that boys are weird. I hope the pizza was good anyway. I have been fed a lot of Hawaiian Haystacks and Apple Crisp. It seems to be the default missionary dinner. I love it, but after 10 meals of it in the past 3 weeks, I would love to have some good pizza.
Mom: I hope this email and the other I sent today answer the questions you have about how I am doing. I love you a lot. The Sister that we stay with (Sister Wilson) reminds me a lot of you. She is just an awesome home maker and grandmother. Tell Logan and Lawrence that I miss them! I love the Picture of Jordan's Birthday. Including Zakiah's lack of eyes!
Neva: I love You! Thanks for your letters. How is school going? Have you seen any cool science things recently? See Ya Later!
Love All Y'all!

P.S. This Picture is of the Temple the first morning in the field. The had us sleep in member homes near the mission home for the first night. This picture does not give the view justice. This house sits above the temple and over looks it. I the Wall was not there you would see the entire temple. The upstairs library has a glass wall that frames the temple. It is absolutely beautiful.

P.P.S. I really need to take more pictures. It is really a pretty area!
