Dear everyone, I offer no apologies for my absentmindedness. I know that several of you will or already are rolling your eyes. I am who I am, and I forget a lot of important things that I shouldn’t. I counterbalance it a little by remembering inconsequential, insignificant, random facts. I think it’s a pretty fair trade off.

Anyway, my mission has been charging along. I have made some very close friends here at the family history center, and they are some fantastic individuals. Another youth missionary here, Sister Tanner and I have been in charge of creating training presentations for the staff these last few months. She makes the slides, and I do a voice-over to make it interesting. Because of this, I have become known as The Voice™. Apparently my voice is strong, commanding, and enchantingly beautiful (who knew right?).

I have about two months left here at the center, and I go to school after that. It’s a little bittersweet, but it will be good for me to move on and tell myself that I completed something despite being told numerous times that other parts of my life were more important, or that this mission just wasn't worth my time. I know for a fact that it is, and I want to thank everyone that has supported me through it.

And I have to work with these nerds

Love, Elder Porcelli
