2/2/26 Stayin Alive

Good day all,

It has only been a little bit incentive my last update so obviously there is not much more to report on. 
We closed the week with Elder Charter recovering enough to do some light missionary work. And we got back into the swing of things. Elder Ritchie has been a great help these last few days because driving around and visiting people let's Elder Charter rest more and recover faster. 
The other notable event of the week was on Sunday we had planned everything meticulously so that we would be on time... then Elder Charters bike went kaput. That left us stranded and late. Thankfully we were able to call in a ride from Elder Ritchie to make it to our appointments. Fortunately we had the spare time in the evening to repair the problem as well so we are starting out with a strong foundation of working bikes.
I wish you all the best of weeks and enjoy Febuary and all it may bring. 

Bye, 
Elder Hsu

Hey, all This is the weekly update from NorCal. Post general conference has been quite fun as the weather turns colder and rainier. Today we have a large downpour just like home. My reaction of excitement was the opposite of all the other missionaries. There has been some illness working it's way around since the beginning of this month and it has started impacting missionary work due to people we are teaching catching said cold. But we are making the most of it. Fortunately I have some great luck or something of that nature because I haven't been hit hard by any illness so far as a missionary (knock on wood). Just 2 weeks left of this transfer and we are closing in on the end of the month. I am turning 20 soon and the realization of the number has finally caught up with me. I am an old man, ancient in fact I was 16 just a little bit ago. Now with 1 week fallout I will add 1 more general conference talk to those I recommend and dude enjoy. Elder Gong's talk "No One Sit...

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 wit...

2/7/25 Welcome to the MTC

Image
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
