This week’s message is going to be short even though it felt like the longest week ever. Tomorrow is transfers and Elder Beckey will be leaving to Peach Tree Corners down in the Rosewell Stake. I’m sad to see him go but he is such an amazing missionary and is going to do great. I loved every minute I got to serve with him and I truly learned a lot.

This meant that he would be able to read any email sent to him on that day and reply. This meant that we would hear from him, normally in the early afternoon. It was therefore somewhat of a surprise that we received an email on Monday this week. Rather than an...
