Yo Family, How’s it going today? For p-day we went on a hike to Ortega Mountains. Man, it was awesome and I will tell you it was high, it was so high that we could see the ocean and Camp Pendleton, it was fun.
Also our investigators are now officially members. Elder Marks gave them the gift of the Holy Ghost last Sunday (or yesterday), now we are back in the process of finding and giving the first lesson. I will tell you what, finding is a hard thing to do especially in my areas; there are a lot of prideful people. I thought that the economy would humble them but all it did was make them cranky, grrr. Yeah, we are not getting a lot of nice people to talk to. I have never been so surprised at how rude some people can get. It truly makes me so sad to see people reject what they don’t even know. Sometimes I wonder what it to be done with these people. How does the spirit manifest the truth of this work to these people.....? But I guess I can’t say that because I know that the spirit is one of the most powerful things ever. I mean come on it is the 3rd member of the god head... don’t under estimate the power of the spirit ha-ha (I swear you can relate star wars to just about any part of the gospel). It is a great conversion for those star wars nerds out there, oh wait that’s me!! he he.
Well fam, I love you so much and thank you for your support. Thanks Family,
Elder Stones

Well Hey There,
How’s the fam this week? Well, the baptism went great and the spirit was strong. What a great couple and a great desire they have.
So thanks for that present! Man that was a great present. We use it all the time and it really helps. Man you don’t need to get me a Christmas present now- that GPS had to have been expensive. I am not going to lie, I still feel 19 but when I think about it.... WOW! 20 years old eeekk!
So I am going to spend another transfer with Elder Marks, which is awesome because he is so cool and we do good together. I am exited. We have a lot of cool people we’re teaching.
Okay so weird experience, one of the cool people we talked to this past week is named Jamie. She told us about her life problems and started to cry, and after that she was grateful she had someone to talk to about here problems and for the counsel. So when the time came to say good by she did a thing all missionaries tend to be shocked by when it happens- she came up and hugged us super-upper long and tight (well at least it seemed that way). Man I was sweating up a storm. I never thought that I of all people would have a problem with a girl hugging me- woo wee! Anyway, she is a good lady and has good hopes, so we have a return appointment but maybe we will go on a team-up.
Well, I’ve got to go, have a good week!

Ok, I will write more later this week (we have permission to do so), but I am great and a healthy 20 year old man. But I have got to get going.

Go with the Flow
Ok, so the week has gone pretty well. We did a lot of tracting, a lot of walking. So yes, I am vary tired. Well, Halloween honestly wasn’t that fun, just because we have to be in by 6:00 so we don’t really get that “Halloween effect.” And I am freaking out because I am almost 20 years old and I don’t want to be. Well, I do it just is coming so so so fast and I can’t believe it- aaaaaaaaaaah! Hey mom look at the bright side at least you don’t have to deal with the teenager stuff anymore.
Ok this email might be short just because we have to go to appointments but I love you so I will talk to you next week.
Temperature: ~66 degrees (Partly Cloudy)
