7/14/25 Well... my comp is goin home

Hey all,

Big yet unfortunate news. Elder Swenson is going home. After we received the news we have changed gears to farewells and packing. I, on the other hand, am put in a unprecedented situation. This transfer was a rarity in there are no missionary trios anywhere in the mission. Meaning that I still haven't received news on what is happening to me or the Clearlake area. Elder Swenson has taken this development in stride and is planning on coming back out after a brief time home. That was the doozy of the week other highlights we attended a retirement party for one of our ward members and lent a hand with it's setup and cleanup.

We also had zone conference this week where we were encouraged to work with the local members. When trying a new thing it is a lot easier when someone you trust is there to help and reassure. Friends of members are the best people to teach they have seen firsthand the love and willingness to serve others. So don't be afraid to share the gospel with the people in your day to day lives.

Conventional wisdom of the week: quantity and quality are 2 very separate measurements. Yet both have value depending on the situation. Never see the lack of one as a failure because maybe the other is what was needed in that specific situation. 

Love all yall,

Elder Hsu
