I was blackmailed into writing this email

Hi everyone!

As the great Marshawn Lynch said, "I'm only here so I don't get fined."

My parents chastised me for not sending an email this week. I wasn't going to, but to be the perfect son that I am I shall go and do because my parents hath commanded me.

This was another good week. Elder Lynn G. Robbins came to our mission for zone conference and he talked about being 100% responsible and taking ownership of our decision and the outcomes around us. He gave a cool anti-responsibility list and encouraged us to make a list of the things we can control and determine how we can take 100% responsibility for them. It's also a talk he gave at BYU if you want to read it (click here to read his talk). It's called 100% responsible.

We are still teaching about 4 people and 3/4 of them actually want to be baptized already their family just isn't letting them. We just have to be patient, keep growing their testimony and wait for the obstacles in their way to be resolved.

I have now done what my parents told me to do. So I am still the most amazing son ever. I will probably write a better email next week because I won't be distracted by my cute dogs on the phone with my family
