Music in the mission ?

Justin sent his weekly email stating a few revisited policy for the missionaries in the mission concerning music.
There mission president has clarified all there concerns & questions as to what is appropriate of what they can listen too & when.   Justin shared bits and pieces of presidents letter about it all;  he summed it up like this; " If you are wondering if your music is OK???  Then it probably isn't. "

Work in Albany continues,  Our investigator pool is small at the moment; but the people we have are awesome.  Elder Hansen & Elder Brimhall have one lady investigator that is so close to baptism; she has been touched by the gospel and believes in The Book of Mormon; and just is having challenges of coming to church;  They pray for her to overcome whatever it is that is holding her back from receiving blessings.

Until the next week,  your Elder in Albany, Justin.

Prep Day delayed this week.

Justin's email  surfaced a day later then usual this week.  After reading through his writings; we come to the knowledge that Monday was a 1/2 of the mission conference;  (There mission is large, thus it is sub-divided.) and that there area had there conference Monday while the other half was on Tuesday.  But it was good to finally here from him; since he only wrote his sister this  past week & claims he was busy and distracted last prep day that he ran out of time ?????

The mission conference was great.  They where visited by Elder Don R Clark of the Seventy; he presented some great ideas for the missionaries to put into practice to become "AWESOME" missionaries.  Justin didn't tell us any specifics; other then he & Elder Hanson were excited to put there new learnings to practice.  There conference must have been a real treat.  Justins quote "Being a missionary is so Exciting !"

Justin mentioned the week was full of more tracting, another large storm came through.  No tornado, even if it was predicted to be one, thus mom won't have to worry.  Elder Starrs did get a little wild 7 crazy and ran out off the porch & before he got back, was totally soaked to the bone.  I am guessing, lots of rain....
