HELLO Familia,
How’s it going? Well well well, so this week has been busy. I think this is the busiest place I have ever been at. There is a ton of work and I love it. The cool thing about this past 7 weeks is I have learnt so much in the gospel. We have this investigator named Mike and he has been asking us really deep questions. You know we try to stay simple but oh well, he wants to know.
So I had a deep conversation with Heavenly Father this passed week and he has helped me a whole lot to get through the hard times of persecution. So I want to know how my family is doing with the economy, just a random thing. Ok, I have to thank you all for the advice. It did help me with persecution.
Well sorry to cut this short but I have to go now but I love you all.

Sticks and STONES
Well, sorry for sending like 40 emails last week, the computer was being weird. Hopefully it doesn’t happen this time. So this week, well let’s see… I don’t know if I told you this past week but I am going back to Riverside to baptize a lady that Elder Lamm and I were teaching.
I have to tell you, I am having a hard time. I don’t know why the yelling and screaming at us is affecting me so much. No joke- every time we are on the street some one yells at us. I had a deep conversation with Heavenly Father. We have a lot of good work going on right now and I am so happy but you know it is not good when I am scared to leave any appointment or house or something like that…because of the people.
Well don’t worry about me, I will be fine. I have the Lord on my side, so I know I will be fine. It just must be a learning opportunity or something.
Oh, guess what? I met this lady that said that as soon as I leave Hemet she is going to give me a samurai sword- sweeeeeet huh. Well I think it is!
So we have this new guy named Mike and he is pretty close to Golden. He has some hard core questions that he asks but it is still a cool thing that he has questions. Well I got to go but I love you family and will talk to you next week.

And..AGAIN
Ok so I hate computers- only because I just wrote a sweet letter and it got DELETED in a snap grrrrrr. Oh well, so this week has been interesting. I have been sick for the past 5 days with strep and a nasty cough with all that crap in the back of my throat eewwww.
One thing that has happened this week, or should I say is happening, this week is major hard core persecution. I hate it so bad it makes me so so mad, I have never had this much persecution in my life. There are so many anti-Christ’s here. It makes me want to dust my feet like in the old times, but I don’t do that because I don’t want to be held accountable haha. But I will be fine, you all don’t have to worry about me. I am cool
So we won in softball against the senior softball team…finally. No for real. We have never won one fame and we only beat them by one- woo wee. Good times, good times! So the work is good well, we have a huge teaching pool but none of them will come to church. It can get kind of frustrating.
Well I have got to go. I hope my e-mails are getting better. I do try. Well love you all.

Wowow
So this week has been awful. I have strep and a cough- you know when you have all that crap in the back of your throat, eewww! But oh well. So I am having a hard time right now, a really hard time. Now I know why I was blessed with patients. I have never seen or have had so much persecution in my whole life and it is discouraging every day. It is nothing I want you all to worry about; I know what I have to do.
One good thing I got a call from Elder Lamm and he told me that there is a investigator in Riverside that wants me to baptize her, so in April I get to go back to Riverside, yeah! Finally the cold is leaving- I am tired of it. I guess I have learned to love the heat.
So today we played softball and won against a senior softball team... that has never happened in the history of playing them. So I am pretty happy about that. The whole week has been great we are getting a lot of people to teach; just none will come to church.
One funny thing that happened was that Elder Lloyd was hit on by a drunk lady, it was so funny...she did want us to come back but I don’t know if that was the wine talking or her. But one thing is for sure, if we do go back we will bring a team up. Well family I hope I am doing good on the e mails. I love you all!
p.s. mom I did get the package

Brrrrr
Did you make pizza with the pizza stuff we sent?
No not yet. We make up different stuff with the ingredients.
Did you make tacos with the taco stuff we sent?
Yes I did make tacos. I can’t mess that one up.
Did you get some new pants at JC Penny's?
Why yes I did and might I say I look mighty fine in them!
Are you the greatest missionary Hemet has ever seen?
I try to. It is hard because we have the best missionaries in the world here.
Are you on a bike or in a car now?
Oh I am on bike and it totally rocks.
Do you go to the Burger King by the mall?
No not really, I don’t do fast food any more.
Do you go to the Dairy Queen by the mall?
Yes I do eat there- only because a member owns it and we get it for free!
Is your companion doing better? You can be a great example for him.
He is slowly doing better
Is your ward helpful in missionary work?
No this ward sad fully is not helpful at all but we are working with them.
Do they feed you?
3 times a week or 4
Do you thank them? (Lots)
That is all we can do. It lets them know we care for them.
Do you brush your pearly whites?
yes yes
Have you ever had your suit cleaned? (At the cleaners - don't put it in the washing machine.) I try to clean it every 12 weeks
Who is your favorite person in Hemet?
There is this family, the Langston’s they are really cool with the missionaries.
We have had a good week, lots of thing have been going on. It is really cold but I don’t know if it is because I have climate-ised, or if I am a wimp, or if it really is cold. All I know is that Elder Lloyd is not cold at all. I guess I have to bear through it one more time.
Love you family

Razzle Dazzle
Okay, I have a few things to talk about this week. The first thing is this thing that happened yesterday, Elder Lloyd and I were just riding talking to people (because all our appointments fell through) but as we were riding all of a sudden we flew in to a swarm of bugs. I don’t know what kind they were, all that I know is that they were everywhere and these weren’t the ones in one spot they were everywhere, for almost 5 miles we were in a swarm. Never in my life has something like that happened, it got so bad we couldn’t see and we actually crashed- just try to imagine that.
The smell of the cows is still here and getting worse... if your going to pray for me pray that the smell wont be so bad because wooo-wee it is bad.
Yesterday, we gave a blessing to a lady whose life pretty much sucks right now and needs some major guidance. I have got to tell ya, I have never felt so much concern and love for one of the people I have met on my mission as I did that moment- I loved it and it happened me a lot. Also she is a little older and gave me good tips on how to treat my wife.... like I need that right now but it was still nice of her to tell us that.
Over all Fam. it was a good week lots of fun with the spirit. Love ya.
