Hello all!
No group letter from Elder Troy this week, so we’ll just share a few snippets of his letter to the family. As you can see, he is laser-focused on the work and finishing his mission strong! We had a good laugh at his last sentence.
Thank you for your continuing support and love of our son. We appreciate you all so much.

It was recently announced that in October we will be going to a tri-mission conference where Elder Holland of the 12 will speak. He’s one of my favorites, so I’m excited. Hopefully he surprises us with a very spiritual and uplifting address!
We have had a great week this week. Elder Heiner and I are experimenting with some new ways to find people to teach and baptize through part-member families. It’s been really successful, so we’ve been sharing the techniques we’ve developed with the zone, and everyone’s excited about it.
In the YSA ward, the people we are teaching are progressing really well! Finding is going smoothly, and the weather is finally lightening up, which makes campus contacting more comfortable.
We have to do something called “my plan” at the end of our missions. It’s supposed to be this really spiritual program where the missionary prepares to return home as they finish their mission. So far, I found it to be more focused on trying to make missionaries trunked out. It’s not gonna work with me, I have an iron will. But I hear that when missionaries get to week five, which is on the subject of dating and eternal marriage, they crack. I’ll try to stay strong.
Love y’all!
Elder Derek Troy
