Week 4

Sorry no updated pics. D put them on a missionary google drive that we don't have the password to?! Go figure. We will try to correct that tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. He sounds and looks great!

‘Sup fam and friends?

Sorry for the super late email. We didn’t get our p-day until Wednesday. Monday was the holiday and Tuesday we had a General Authority decide to show up for a mission tour on my first week. Talk about some major pressure right off the bat. The GA is in the presidency of the Seventy. His name is President Gerrit W. Gong. He is a super, super, awesome man. He also came to reorganize one of the Stakes up here. He was scooping ice cream for the missionaries after their devotional on Sunday. It was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

My first day, I went out with a missionary named Elder Christiansen. My first lesson I committed an investigator named Jeremy to be baptized. It was awesome. I've been having a great time. Did you know that prayers are answered? I sure do!

My Dad (trainer) is named Elder Lindholm. I'm his third son (trainee). He's been out for about 16 months. We are currently serving in two wards, Lakes and Paradise, on foot. We were both also whitewashed into the Paradise Ward, so we are mainly just going around meeting everyone right now.  Our living situation out here is the best. I'm in an apartment big enough for 4 missionaries, but it's just me and my trainer right now. We have a ton of space. I'm being fed a lot out here, dinner every night. I actually had Wingstop yesterday courtesy of a member dinner. I even had some steak a couple days ago. It’s a good thing I'm in a walking area to burn it all off.

I can't wait to serve here for the next 2 years.

Love you all.

Elder Rexinger

P.S. Something I find funny is that Elder Lindholm kinda looks like my cousin Avery, but way shorter, and he has glasses.
