Real moments with fake investigators (also, lots and lots of voluntary BoM study)

Hello everyone! I'm hoping I got around to all of your personal emails, I wouldn't want any questions unanswered, but I'm pretty confident we're good. As some of you already know, my camera is amazing, but the port to plug it into the computer is real weird and rare I guess, so instead I'll be coming next week with a new SD card reader to show you all tons and tons of life at the MTC moments. I had an amazing experience all the way back to last Saturday though, so we have to start there. Out lesson was by my favorite sub thusfar, Hermano Omdahl.
