 Not too much exciting going on, though I did get to take Nate and Matt down to Third Phase for some service. It was nice serving with them. School is out now, so things like this might happen every so often. It looks like different opportunities are opening up with Covid rules loosening and with the season changing.

 This week has been mostly following through with normal service stuff. As a family, we got to go on a trip out to the farmer`s market, Thistlethwaite Falls, and Fountain Acres. It was a nice trip, we were sure to get some of the nice Amish treats and have a nice time at the Falls!

We also got a new Elder to the mission, and it`s been nice getting to know him. We got to serve together today. He seems cool.

Not too much else exciting happening. School for Nate and Matt is ending soon.

 This week was mostly going through my normal schedule again, which was good. We also had a mission activity on Saturday where we met up at McCormick`s Creek State Park, the first in-person activity I got to participate in with the rest of the mission. We got to bring family, and went on a hike together. It was a really nice park, and we even got to go through a cave in it. We ate lunch together. I had spent part of the night baking to make enough cookies for everyone. It was nice to finally meet the mission in person and have a nice activity. We also got a new missionary in the Indianapolis service mission. He seems pretty cool, just transferred from proselytizing like I did.

 We got a special guest move-in in the house this week. It`s been making sleeping arrangements interesting. Over Mother`s Day, we got to have a special breakfast for mom with a pizza dinner. Not too much else exciting happening with the mission. Mostly been following the service schedule. I did get to meet with some different people today when serving when some organizations volunteered, though. That was fun.

 This week I`ve been following a similar schedule to previous weeks. I got to go to St. Vincent de Paul in different locations and Third Phase. On Friday and Saturday, I got to go on a trip with the family for Mom`s birthday. We went up to Holland, Michigan for the Tulip Festival. It was nice going there, we got to eat at fun restaurants, visit a windmill island, get a tour of a replica of a boat used in the War of 1812, and visit some shops. It was really nice, and we got to learn a bit about Dutch culture.

Not too much else exciting happening. Mostly following the schedule for service. Mom was the one taking most of the pictures, so I didn`t get any in this email.
