2/24/25 Welcome to Cow Town

So... to elaborate on that title the zone I am now assigned to in the Santa Rosa mission is the Vacaville zone and the word vaca means cow in Spanish. Overall the departure from the MTC was simply: left at 4:00 and had a layover in Phoenix, Arizona. Now I am in the field being trained by 2 great elders: Elder Fay and Elder Wallace. No big news yet from the field. I am grateful to be on the ground here near the coast rather than the very literally high and dry Provo, Utah. until next time, Elder Hsu Pictures: sorry none this week.

2/14/25 The final countdown

Hey, all Less than a week left at the MTC. This last week had many things happened. First things first, Mount Tipanogos temple is beautiful inside and out, we have visited for baptism and endowment sessions over the last week. Now for weather... it is getting COLD we even got some snow yesterday. In other news majority of the people on our dorm floor left for their respective mission fields and us Elders had to welcome the new Elders to the floor. Overall the MTC has been like college I gotta learn new things while establishing a new status quo.  P.S: happy valentines day    From your favorite pigeon  Elder Hsu Pictures- 1: snowman (not built by me) with my tag 2: sunset photo through classroom window 3: district tags 4: Elder Ashton and I in front of the Mount Timpanogos temple

After last weeks problems with flight itinerary I thought that there wouldn't be any problems... I was wrong, very wrong. My initial flight was at 7:00 ish meaning I would need to wake up at 4 and at 4 I am woken up and told that my flight was canceled. So after getting a bit more sleep I called the travel office and got a flight at around 5 PM. My flight was rather uneventful and I only met 2 other missionaries after the flight at the SLC airport.  I arrived at the MTC after 10:30 and didn't get to the dorms till 11 or so. Other news is I am adjusting family well to MTC life and have an good (enough) companion in Elder Ashton.  MTC overall has already been quite the experience and I got 2 more weeks of it to go. Thank you all and goodnight. Elder Hsu Pictures 1- Me and Elder Ashton 2- evening view MTC 3- 8 player Foosball with district 4- view from dorm window
