Well, I have meant to post on here for quite some time now, but as always I'm slacking! Schuyler is doing great on his mission. He just got transferred and is in a place called Eden! Here is part of his latest email- about his area and new companion. Hopefully we will get some pictures soon so I can post some.
Hey family!
Well, what a great week this last one has been. Boy, am I loving my new area, it's definitely got trials, but it just feels different.... kind of fresh! So first of all here is my new address for those of you (I hope many (: ) that want to write to me:
Elder Schuyler Calder
13030 Park Crossing #201M
San Antonio, TX 78217
My new area is called the Eden area. That's right, I am serving in the Garden of Eden!!! It's pretty awesome, in fact our apartment complex has it's own 'mini lake' that we get to run around every day. It's real cool. And there are tons of ducks there so we end up chasing the ducks a lot (well I do at least). My new companion is Elder Parker Shwarz. He is from Gilbert, Arizona. We get along real well. He loved music (just about as much as me) before coming out on the mission, and he attended BYU provo for a semester before as well. He has 8 brothers and sisters. Yep, that's right, tons and tons! He has 3 brothers and 5 sisters. He loves the heat (so he loves San Antonio) and is thinking about going into finance or accounting after his mission.
In our area we are what is called a "car-share" so we get the car one week and then we bike the next week.... Heh, this upcoming week is our bike week and it is supposed to be even hotter than the last week! It's going to be hot! But, luckily I have a 3 liter camelbak so it is great for staying hydrated. The apartment is pretty nice. I was lucky enough to get another apartment with Washer/Dryer, and Dish Washer (but.... it is currently down and out for the count and has been for the last several months.... but... at least we have it!) It's actually kind of funny because Eden is literally a mile up the ride from Woodlake. In fact, I am in the same stake: the East stake. It is good though.
Sounds like he is doing awesome! We can't believe he is almost out a year. Way to go Bud! We love you BUNCHES!
PS Notice his new address :)
