pray for me...

Sorry you will probably get this a little later in the day than normal. As you know its p-day today and so we drove down to hang out with some other missionaries in the zone. My companion (Elder Honzic) went golfing with one of the missionaries and I went and hung out with the other one. And yes that is allowed But were back now. It was a relief spending some time with another missionary haha. This week has actually been a very good week. Its still way slow and we have maybe one investigator, but weve been stying busy and im starting to have more fun. Im kinda getting the hang of it. I still have a tough time with trackting and door approaches and stuff like that but oh well. Ill get used to it. We were all excited this last week to go to Navarres FUN FEST. I guess they do it every year on Navarre beach and everyone was saying its awesome. It sounded like the October fest thats in yorba Linda so we were getting excited to go and advertise there. But it turned out to be pretty lame. There wasn't very many people and not really anything to do. So that kinda stunk because we walked 2 miles to get there. Then we went and played games with the old people at an old people home so that day was really fun haha. That was this last Saturday. It was probably the slowest day of the week cuz none of our appointments showed up. But the rest of the week went smoothly. We had our zone conference and that was a blast. I got to meet all of the elders in our zone and they all seemed way cool. We just watched some videos and then we went around and boar our testimonies. It was an extremely powerful meeting. I swear President Summerhays could easily be a general authority. Hes so cool. Last night we went over to this families house for dinner and they were a pretty cool family. The dad asked me where I was from and I told him Orange County and he was like, "me to." Then he asked me where in OC and I said yorba Linda. And he said, "Me Too!" So he showed me on map quest where he lived and I guess he said he went to the bastanchery building. There names are the Sheets? Maybe you know them? I dunno. But ya so that was fun. Then we went over to The Bryants house. Brother Bryant is possibly the coolest person ever. He totally reminds me of andy. Hes way funny. So ya that's pretty much the most exciting stuff I have to tell yah haha. Like I said, the work is pretty slow in this area. In my interview with the president he told me that this is a test for me cuz this is one of the hardest areas in the mission and I have one of the hardest companions in the mission as well. It has been a test for me. The Lord has been twisting and tugging and stretching me to see what im made of. And the truth is, ive realized im not made of much haha. Im serious though. With out the Lord, I could not do this. But with the Lords help in the passed 2 weeks, ive been able to fill in so many of my week areas and im so excited to see what the lord can shape me into over the next two years. Ya my companion isn't the best to be around, but so what. The Lord is on my side and im not gonna let that get to me. Besides, transfers are in another 3 weeks and I think hes getting transferred so ya its all good. Good week this week that's all I gotta say. I love this church and I know its true with all my heart. I know this is where im supposed to be and I wouldn't give it up for the world. So anyways, New couch at the lake huh? That's cool. Get it nice and worn in for me That's cool that shwana and andey got a new house. Its not that one huge one that I saw is it? The one that you can see from there this last house? Thanks for those pictures by the way. I really enjoyed them. Take more!!! Send more!!!! I wat some of you guys and the kids Sorry I never sent a letter like I said I would in my last email. Last p-day got kinda busy. So hows dads business going. Still srong I hope? And how is Yor business doing mom? Hopefully everythings still goin good. You guys are in my prayers evry night and day. I love you so much. Im satying safe so don't worry about me. I wear my seat belt when im driving and my helmet when im biking so no worries.
