Week 37: Pre-transfer jitters

Hey my wonderful family,

Scripture of the week: D&C 121: 41-42 45

Well what a week. Ill just give you the details about the back so you can stop wondering. Well im not going to lie, i honestly kind of feel like the appointment at Dartmouth was a bit of a waist of time. But then at the same time i shouldnt feel that way because i feel good right now. The dr doesnt think it has anything to do with the discs. Its most likely just muscle pain. His diagnosis was "chronic lower back pain" i thought to myself thats the best you can do? im 19 years old i should not have chronic back pain ive got a long life ahead of me. He gave me a prescription that is most commonly used for depression, but is also used for chronic back pain. I really dont want to just take meds for it i would like to fix the problem, but for now this will do cause i really do feel good. He also wants me to do some PT but im waiting to start that till next week just in case i get transferred. We also did some ex rays just in case there is something else, i havent heard back about those yet. But all in all i feel good right now. These meds are helping and i honestly cant complain. I was really sore yesterday because i was stupid on saturday and helped a family move. I just cant see people in need and not help them. 

It really sounds like things back home are going well.  I would bet lou is a wonderful cheer leader, itll be fun to see her cheer in a few seasons when i get home.  

That is so awesome that Vanity went 87. Really someething to be proud of. Carrying on the Victoria legacy. Man i need updated pictures of all of these cows, i feel like i havent seen them in months. Bummer that you cant make the state fair work for the other two animals as well. I would have liked to see my prefix represented there with Zee. But i understand other things are important too. 

Hmmm what else happened this week here in vermont?? Some weeks i have the hardest time remembering what we even did.. Well we went on exchange, so Elder Chapman got stuck riding to dartmouth and back with me and then was with me all day thursday as well. We held our first cottage meeting at the cubits home, that went quite well, we had 1 less active and 1 investigator attend. Other than that nothing really to note worthy happened this week. Oh we had a senior couple come inspect our car and apartment both passed. They said we are doing a really great job with keeping the apartment clean. For as gross as it was when we got here it looks really good. 

Everyone is getting the pre transfer jitters. By next week ill know if im going or staying.
This week im going on exchange with the zone leaders, im going to Lebanon that should be an adventure Elder young who i will be with is quite the character. 

The District is doing well right now. Thats about all i can think of right now. 

WE are going to Lyndon today to have district p day so that will be fun. I wont have time to write all my letters so i apologize. Please tell gma lou lou thanks for the package. 

Love you guys 
Have a great wonderful amazing awesome week.
Elder Toner

"Elder Zilles if i cut you up into little pieces each piece of your body would scream mormonism is true" Elder young said that this morning while i was doing district reports what a goof

Ok bye love you 

Well im done with my emails and elder v is not so im just sitting here being bored so i thought i would just jot a few more things down. 
Most recently in my studies i have been reading Jesus the Christ. What an amazing book that is. James E Talmage must have been quite the man. He had an office in the temple to write that book in, thats pretty cool. 
Hmm i really cant think of anything else to blabber on about 

Well now he is done love you happy labor day
