One month!

Yay!  We received our weekly email from Elder Wolf on Tuesday.  Then we received a letter AND pictures on Thursday.  It sure makes for a fun week to hear from him that often.  

Chris' companion was called as the new district leader. Chris said, "Basically he just runs our group meetings and organizes groups of elders when companionships don't want to do the same things. We also get to get the mail for our district twice each day, so now I know immediately when I get mail! When he has other meetings to go to, I'm second in-command as district leader, so that'll be fun!"

The missionaries received letters from the Mission President last week.  Chris told Hunter, in a letter, that he had a character that he wanted Brandon to draw for him.  Then, when we asked him to clarify what he wanted, this is all the information he gave us, "The letter from my mission president was just a letter that we had to write our chinese name on and then send back. Maybe that was the character I wanted Brandon to do. I am changing my chinese name from wu zhang lao (elder wizard) to Lang Zhang Lao (Elder Wolf) when I get to Taiwan. makes more sense to me! :) that was it for the letter though."  We kinda liked the Elder Wizard name!

Chris had to leave the MTC on Wednesday for an eye doctor appointment.  Luckily, Mom was working and so she couldn't drive by the office slowly to watch for a glimpse of him. :)   He had to fill out a request for a shuttle ride to the appointment and then call to be picked up when he was done. 

We asked Chris what his days are like, so he actually took a picture of his schedule and sent it home. 

He also mentioned in his email, "We had some fun today. :D You'll see."  When his SD card arrived two days later, this is what we found. 

Yup, they seem to be finding the time to have some fun!
