So why did I just get here on Saturday, Oh because we got 2 feet of snow on Thursday in Staunton. It was crazy!!! haha am uploading lots of pics to go along with this week.

Throwing up the deuces ;(

Throwing up the Deuces to the Staunton area, Love this town.

Wow, transfer calls came in last night and I am leaving the beautiful area of Staunton. I don't know where I am exactly headed yet, but I am sad to be leaving this area. I LOVE THE STAUNTON! The people and the area are both so beautiful and nice. I can't wait to come back and visit. If any of u that are reading this are from the Staunton ward, know that I love u and wish u the best.

Good news though. I will be coming back on the 22 for trinity and Zander baptism! So I won't be gone for to long until I get to return. That is a total plus. And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I come back a lot more with all of the people that I have taught :) the work is roaring in Staunton!

Cool things that happened this week, hmmmm:

I did a lot of cleaning for some reason. Lots of mold :( haha so I was not feeling the best this whole week but yeah. I can say Staunton is a cleaner town than when I came :0

Also had a really good sacrement meeting yesterday. Some inspiring words I will pass on to u guys. Bishop talked about priorities. I found it interesting and totally agreed with what he said. When u have a task at hand (he mentioned home teaching). Make the task something YOU want to do. Let's be honest when "you" personally want to do something more than someone else want u to do it, u will have a greater desire!

I WANT TO BE OUT HERE SERVING PEOPLE. I AM NOT DOING THIS CUZ OTHER PEOPLE WANT ME TO. I WANT TO SERVE PEOPLE, I WANT TO LOVE PEOPLE, I WANT TO LEARN VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS.

Another lesson I learned this week from and older fella in the ward. A former area 70ty: "I was advised never miss a chance to bear my testimony." I think this is a good lesson I am going to apply more into my life and time as a missionary.

Well I love u guys, I love everyone in Staunton, and I love the people of my new area. I am excited for another chance to beautify an area!

Thanks for all ur prays and stuff, keeping up writing me :) I will have a new address next week when I know it! Until then hold off on sending any letters :) thanks guys!!

Love Elder Young

SnOw sNoW Snow!!

What is up errbody? haha I hope that you all had a good week. I did haha lots of good stuff :) Run down of the week:

Last P-day we were able to go walk through downtown Staunton. It was pretty cool. Apperantly it is one of the best "old" downtowns in the country! Tons of cool antique shops and we even went to a "glass blowing" musem. It was pretty cool; We got to watch how they blowing glass flowers, dishes, pots and tons of cool stuff. Just another Reason to love this area :)

We have had lots of good snow fall this past week. But because of that we have been walking lots :/ haha we walked for 6 miles one of the days this week.... Lets just say my back did not like me after doing that :( really makes me wonder if I was really ever suppose to go to the Philiuppines :0

We have taught lots of fun lessons this week. We are going to a baptism on the 15 of this month of the Harada kids. Super excited for them. I love that family :) other than that< just an average week :) haha

We did have a werid day this week. Jan 30th, literally nothing worked out haha. We had many plans for that day. to start off we were going to move someone out, and into another location in Staunton. Well we got there car loaded to find out they can't move in till tomorrow. So thjey made us unload everything back into their old house. haha LAME! and then the rest of the day, all the apooitnments we had feel through :0 wow, haha a learning expereice and something to laught about :)

Message for today reflects back on my goal for 2014. #noregrets2014 . It comes from a talk I have read about 3 times this past week from President Utchdorf titled Regrets and Resolutions.. Here is the link:

http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/10/of-regrets-and-resolutions?lang=eng

There are many things that I like from this talk. The 1st time I read it I felt like a failure... but reading it more I love it and am learning from it each time :) hope you guys enjoy it!

Love you guys, thanks for ur support and prays! Take Care & Good Luck

Love Elder Young
