We are truly led by prophets and apostles who lead by revelation.


Hey Everybody!!!

Well another great week! First off please don’t shorten your emails I love the long ones and I still have plenty of time to write! Hey Dad, thanks for the updates on NBA I do really love them although no one in my district even watches bball so I can’t share my joy! Thank you so much for all the pictures. Olivia is soo cute and that picture of the Passey shirts is awesome! However, what on earth happened to that ankle! I’ve never seen something so bad and whose is it? I need details! Sorrry I forgot to mention in my last email that there are no Mothers day calls from the MTC, mostly because they have like 20 phones for 2000 missionaries! So this is me wishing the mothers in my family a happy Mother’s day. Especially you Mum I LOVE you soo very much. You’re a saint and I wish I had helped you more and really been more caring and obedient.
Alright, so I am playing not a lot of basketball in gym we have some really good volleyball players among the thais and so I have mostly been playing that but I still ball every now and then. Yesterday we had phii thai vs nung thai volleyball that we just barely lost best of 3 to 25! Tomorrow we’re facing them again, this time in softball and we did kickball last week. It’s soo crazy we saw our 2nd English district leave today and even worse our phii thais leave in a week and then the week after that we become phii thais! As a zone leader I get to do the orientation for new districts in the zone and I did the first one on Wednesday. It was a blast and one of the new elders is from good ole AF, Elder Kyle Andersen, and his comp Elder Flygare is from Alpine and also knows a bunch of the same people! It was pretty sweet! and I get to do it again tomorrow night!
In exciting things this week Elder Flygare is a diabetic and had a really strong reaction to both low blood sugar and stress after gym on Sat night. It was kinda freaky he was on the floor convulsing and moaning and he is a big tough guy so like one second he wasn’t letting anybody know something was wrong and the next thing he was on the ground. We got medics in there quick and everything turned out alright and he is feeling way better. Another miracle in there was that Elder Andersen had done EMT training and knew all the things to do; incredible, we are truly put with our companions for a reason!
We had D Todd Christofferson come to our devotional last Tuesday. It is so incredible to be taught at the feet of an apostle. You can feel the spirit before they enter the room and then when they do it strikes you with such force. We are truly led by prophets and apostles who lead by revelation.
Also this week a sewer pipe in our building burst and it smelled soo horrible! I also started working out twice a day in my room and I’m already noticing a difference, more energy and tone! So that’s pretty much the highlights!
The 3rd week is where some in our district got really stressed; like our workload pretty much doubled and they were stressing.  Even I had a moment of weakness but I’m having too much fun to stay that way for long!
I would love to hear about when and where people are getting their mission calls like Riley and Brendan etc. Also here is my request list, please make sure gma and gpa Pilkington have my address as well as Wettesteins, Gilberts and Abrams. I am desperate for music but we aren’t allowed to use our ipods in the MTC so please make sure to fill it to the brim with every awesome upbeat song you can think of. I also have really taken a liking to abide with me (not tis eventide just abide with me) also plenty of talks please and thank you I love you all so much and I’m soo grateful to have such wonderful family and friends!
Enjoy life and serve someone today!

Elder Cahoon
