Family!!!
What an interesting conversation you all had at dinner! Yes, I do have flat feet! And I believe that after the resurrection I might be shorter..I"m not sure 6'5" is a perfect height...it has its disadvantages.
Our week has been great here! We had a visit from the Missionary Executive Committee and some changes were made here in our mission. I am quite partial to these changes because they take a lot of unneeded stress off the Zone Leaders. The changes have allowed us to focus on our area more and as a result we have kicked things into over-drive. We should have a baptism on Easter weekend!
It seems your app is working correctly Mother! Yesterday I hit my 19 month mark. I saw it was the 25th yesterday but could not for the life of me figure out how long I had been out...that's a good thing I think. The time is winding down. We can talk more on Mother's Day about my travel arrangements to go home. But I wanted to get your take on something. If I come home August 7th like I have planned right now, this will get me home 3 weeks earlier than my release date. I have been thinking about this lately and am trying to weigh and balance the option of coming home 6 weeks early instead. This would release me an entire transfer early. I try not to think about it too much because I still have time left. Here are some pros and cons I have thought of: PROs: I would go home with a large group of missionaries rather than just a couple of us, i would not have to work in a trio(a companionship of 3) for those last 3 weeks (I worked with one companionship like this and the ambiance of a dying missionary was a distraction, and this would give me plenty of time to spend with family and friends before I immerse myself in school. CONs: I miss out on 3 weeks of my mission, it might give me too much idle time at home (unless I can work), and well...that's all I can think of right now....Tell me what y'all think!
Does anyone know who Ray Holmes is from MS? I talked to him the other day out here in Henderson. He is transient and we found him in a park. He said he grew up in MS in Clinton. He said Doc was his doctor growing up and every time his mother went in with issues the first thing Doc would tell her was to stop drinking coffee! He was a very nice man and shared fond memories of MS and Clinton. He went to Clinton High and I would say he's in his late 40s early 50s. His mother is Margie Holmes, sisters are Melanie and Ester.
Anyways, the work is continuing here. I love you all and don't worry about any birthday presents...I"ll be home soon...
Love,
Elder Cronin
