Hi Everyone!!

I’m now in Lebanon Indiana!!!!! Everyone calls it Lebanin because they don’t want to be confused with the "terrorist country" it’s kind of funny. Last night sucked!!!!!!!!! We got home and planned, and then we saw some sort of light flashing outside. So we went outside and off in the distance it looked kind of like a whole lot of fireworks were going off!!! UNTIL WE FOUND OUT IT WAS LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!!!! Lightning was spider webbing across the sky like mad! It wasn’t dark for more than 2 seconds at a time!!!!! And it was loud!!! So just in case we packed some emergency gear, watched it for a bit then around 11:30 we crashed. Around 2:30 in the morning I woke up randomly, I lay in bed trying to get back to sleep, when the tornado sirens went off!!!!!!! It was so freaky!! So we got dressed and grabbed our stuff and headed to the basement of the apartment, which required RUNNING OUTSIDE INTO A PSYCHOTIC LIGHTNING STORM!!!!!!! We stayed there for a bit. Nothing particularly exciting happened after that but this lighting storm lasted from about 10:15 at night until 5:00 in the morning!!! It was freaky!!!

So anyway, my new comps name is Elder Empey (just remember military police, MP) he is awesome!! He is from Idaho Falls Idaho!!!! This transfer is going to be so awesome!!!!! We get along even better than Elder Ricks and I did. A cool thing that’s happening is we have a wedding date coming up soon for Will and Tammi!!! The area’s sweet black couple that loves the gospel, has three crazy kids, and wants to be baptized!!!!!! So their wedding is on July 24th!!!! I get to go to my first wedding of the mission!!!! Cool eh?? The branch is awesome!!! We get fed almost every night. But the girls here are crazy!!!!!! They don’t even try to hide the flirting!!! It’s like they want us to falter!!! I guess wanting a missionary is good but a missionary that would do something like that isn’t worth anything!!!! It’s insane!!!

Anywho me address is:

318 N Jameson St
Lebanon, IN, 46052

So hope you guys have an awesome week!!!!! LOVE YA!!!!

Elder Swanson
