Big black bug

Look at the size of that beast! He's easily four
times as large as Abraham Lincoln!

I trained Elder Mitchell. Good kid. :)


Elders Harris, Olson, Burgoyne, and Garcia.
I trained Elder Olson, and he served with all
three of the rest of us, who all went home at
the same time. Poor Elder Olson. :( He was
one of my favorite companions ever.


These are my Spanish speaking missionary
friends on the day I finished my mission.
There are a few others who weren't at the
transfer meeting that day.

Marino Rivera

The first person I met in Asheville. He used
to take us to visit people with him every
Saturday. He's from El Salvador, and has a
lot of very very interesting stories.
