Hello all! I'm Erik Lovell, William's Mission Manager. You may be wondering, what on earth that is. Just think of William as Batman being called to save a spiritually destitute Gotham City and I am his Alfred...long distance, with no other contact besides email. Actually, all I do is post his stories here, on his/(my) blog.

| Elder Lovell is the one on the sax. |
I will give you all the updates, and don't worry, I will be up to date. Let's be honest, when did Alfred
ever fail Batman. Never. I will adhere to the same strict reliability. Besides, I'm a blogger already so this should be easy.

| Look, He's saving the people already. 10 points to Batman. |
So, just an update:
Elder Lovell has been set apart by his Stake President, so officially he is a missionary. Meaning he cannot be left alone EVER. It's exciting, but as I was away for most of the time after, I missed the fun of following him around everywhere. Tomorrow morning we are going to drop him off at the airport so that he can fly to the MTC. For those unfamiliar with the extreme Mormon usage of acronyms, MTC is the Missionary Training Center.We are told he will stay here, located in Provo, for approximately 3-4 weeks before he is shipped off to the Brazil MTC where he will finish up his language training and hit the streets to fight the spiritual Jokers and Two-Faces so common in this world.
On a sentimental note:
I will miss Elder Lovell tons. He has been my best friend and "top dude" for the longest time. Who am I supposed to call now when I have girl problems or any other problems for that matter. He was one of the only people who just let me talk. He wouldn't tell me to stop complaining, or give me advice, but he would just listen and show that he truly cared. William is a stud-pasta and I'll miss him munches. By munches I mean bunches.
God Speed Elder.
