McMullin, Luke

Howdy again everyone! Reporting live from the overheating laptop that now runs the mission (or so it seems), it's Elder  McMullin ! As always, feel free to send me any microwave potatoes or a new motherboard, and I will happily accept. But, without further ado, here we go! Quick plug as well- everyone should renew your subscriptions soon because we are OFFICIALLY A YEAR IN! Thank you all for the support I've felt through the hardest and most rewarding year of my life. Your prayers, emails, letters, or even just smiles that I know happen brighten my day, every day. Thanks for reading these chunky boys every week, and thanks for sticking with Elder  McMullin ! Well, the biggest news of the week was transfers! Unfortunately, Elder Morgan had to go on his merry way, but after 5 transfers in the office he seemed pretty ready to go. It was admittedly a painful death for him though, as he's going into his last transfer and had to leave a position he loved. However, after on...

Hello hello hello again everyone! Coming live from the only area where you’ll see a Lamborghini cut off a Ferrari, it’s Elder  McMullin ! As always, feel free to send me any lockpick sets or pieces of cured meat, and I will happily accept. But, without further ado, here we go! This week was pretty meh for work, but we did put Cameron on date! I was personally not there for that momentous occasion (dang exchanges) but I hear it went really well. Besides that, it's been a heck ton of parking lot grinding, especially since we’ve been booted from all of the “good” places like Walmart, and are now down to the places like “Wellesley court” featuring not one, but two hibachi restaurants and a dog training facility. Do people like us there? No. Do we stay anyway because strip mall employees cannot kick you out? Absolutely yes. Besides that, most of our lessons fell through, except with some of our baptist friends we wound up in another altercation with.      You see, we were...

Well hello again, everyone! Coming live from the proud owner of the “Robert E Lee” bridge over the old prison Island, it’s Elder  McMullin ! As always, if you would like to send me any petunias or spare charging cables, I will happily accept. But, without further ado, here we go!      This week was better, but still kinda mid, for work. Cameron is an absolute trooper, and came to church despite the fact he ran out of gas and had to do a little bit of siphoning in order to make it there. Despite this, we had a great lesson, and he came to Glen Allen B’s baptism later that day, so miracles all around! Besides that, not a lot happened. There was still a lot of parking lot time, but no fish were really biting. There were a couple of promising leads, but none of them were able to keep their commitments. Doubly frustrating is the fact that the whole mission is being blighted by SIM problems. You see, a culture of “If nothing is happening, mass text all your friends” has be...

Hola again, everyone! Coming live from the home of Goochland Days Festival, it’s Elder  McMullin ! As always, feel free to mail me any baked goods or a sombrero, and I will happily accept. But, without further ado, here we go! Some of you may remember that I wrote an email not three days ago, and therefore are wondering how on earth I’m going to spawn another expertly crafted and Pulitzer-worthy document out of my laptop. The answer is I’m not. Really nothing of importance or of interest has happened in the past few days (besides getting almost banned from Wawa), so instead I would like to immerse all of you reading this into the magical world of office work.  THE STUFF Most of what we do here at “The Office” is fixing problems that we (at some point) probably caused. This includes a multitude of spreadsheets that constantly shatter, and it’s our job to put them back together again. Technically speaking, we aren’t even supposed to have any of them as Salt Lake doesn’t like cus...

Hello once again everyone! Reporting live fresh from the treacherous ride named Shockoe bottom, its Elder McMullin with a special Thursday report! As always, feel free to send me any bolt-action rifles or a new etch a sketch, and I will happily receive it. But, without further ado, here we go!    To start out, interviews! It turns out that President invites you to his home if you live in the Northern Zones, so we rocked up to his house with a full charcuterie board on the kitchen table while you waited for your turn. Once I went in, President blindsided me that it was to be our last interview together, as he will leave shortly after next transfer begins. We talked for a while about why I was in the office and about Easter, and then he joked about how long I had been down south for. I laughed about my banishment to the land of North Carolina, when he gave me one of the greatest compliments I have received for a while: “You did good work down there”. For a few weeks now I had be...
