We'll See...email from 5-31-10

Hey Fam,

How are you guys doing? This last week was interesting. We had a baptism last night, awesome kid named Patrick. We've also been teaching a sweet lady named Lynette and her daughter Melina. They are getting baptized, this weekend.
There's a ton of drama going on in the office right now. We're supposed to switch systems or something. I don't know what is going on. But hey, I may be getting transferred. You never know. (hint hint) We'll see what happens. If anything I've learned that I should respect Office Elders a lot more. Their job is really hard, and more stuff just keeps getting added on.
I love you guys and hope you're enjoying school ending. Say hi to everyone for me.

LOVE
Elder Bootcamp
(good one)

Craziness in the Office...Email from 5-24-10

Hey Dudes,

I just got Nathan's wedding invitation!!! That is the best news ever.
Last week was pretty sweet. We've been teaching a kid named Patrick and he's getting baptized this Sunday.
Being in the office is kinda lame but the ward is really cool. I'm still not sure how everything works. It's definitely different then being a regular missionary.
We took a drunk guy on a tour of the building last Thursday. It was way fun. His name's Merlin and we found him walking down the street (a little unsteadily). We pulled over and invited him to come to church, and he said that would be O.K. as long as we dropped him off in the same spot. So he put down his brown paper bag (never found out what was in it) and hopped in our car and we took him to the church. Pretty sweet huh.
We drove all over Tacoma on Saturday helping the missionaries we live with. They were baptizing three people so we had to go find the right suits.
Did I tell you guys about our drive to Aberdeen? Remind me next week. Welllllll, I love you guys. Have a fun week.

LOVE

Sup Peeps,

O.K., so being an office elder is a little different from being a regular missionary. We don't get to teach as much and we have a whole ton more stuff to do.
I got to go to the Seattle temple last Tuesday with the departing missionary's though. That was fun. I also have to learn how to drive this huge van. We get to pick up the new missionary's from the airport as well as dropping off the the old ones. I'm still having fun though.
My new companion is Elder Borland, who was one of my roommates at the MTC. He's from Missouri. Anyhoo, that's about it.
Is Court the Ultimate Fighter yet? Y'all gots to let me know. I love you guys and I hope your having a great day. Yes, I will be calling on Sunday.

LOVE
Elder Uppencamp
