Week 14

Hello Fam,,
Well today is Monday the first day after general conference!! Wow general conference was pretty good!! Its so weird cuz before you go out on a mission you no way could find the "time" to watch conference and if you did you maybe watched for like 20 minutes. Well not while you are on your mission GENERAL CONFERENCE is like the best thing ever!!! Because 1.) you get to rest and 2.) you get to hear from the Prophet and his apostles, which if you think about it is pretty amazing!! Well i will just start out by telling you that like always Mr. Jeffrey R. Hollands talk was INCREDIBLE!! I don't know what it is about that man but everytime he talks it just touches me i feel like he is speaking directly to me!!!  i also like the Prophets talk right after about the Lady over in Germany loosing her 3 kids, wow that one was a tear jerker too but it was really good i loved conference!! Well this week was very good and sorry about not telling you about having my P day pushed back to Wednesday because of temple p day.. Today it is really hot here in Torrance probably about 88 degrees. ha ha yes Lindsay and NO SNOW HERE!! This week was good!! I hit my 3 month mark this past week too!! It feels like it has been 3 years not 3 months.:) The mission is a straight up grind but it is worth it and i do enjoy it!! I am learning to like Tracting which is weird cuz every missionary hates tracting because it is hard getting yelled at and getting doors literally slammed in your face and having people tell you they hate you!! But i am learning to love it, its like man everytime someone slams a door in my face i am getting another blessing.  so lets go knock another door!! So no my attitude is not down!!

 Mom - Everything is going good and i started laughing when i heard you got called to be camp director or whatever..  cuz i just thought of you in a tent camping, which i don't think i have ever seen before. Thats the church they are always calling people to new and hard jobs. but whenever you think your calling is hard just think of me knocking doors for 20 hours a week!! Yes i am getting fatter but i am not going to grow out of my clothes unless i get up to 2 bills, which i don't think is possible.  i am actually going to go weigh myself and see what i weigh today, i bet i weigh 175.  Which is about 20 lb gain from when i came into the MTC but i was super skinny when i came in the MTC cuz of the bells palsy.. 

Dad - so yeah there are for sure look a like timmers here in Torrance!! General confernece was good ehh? how about Jeffrey Rs talk? i did enjoy Pres Uchtdorfs also!! Yeah i am getting prettty good on the bike!! its always windy here so thats a killer on the bikes as you know!! but its a good work out!! 

Steven - So DWill hooped CP3 huh?? Well good i hope the jazz represent good cuz every P day we go to the mall and i talk trash to the dudes at the CAPZ store cuz they are all LAKERS fans!!!! My comp has been in his mission for exactly 1 year, i am his first KID!! we have p days every monday and next monday we have p day on the beach! Transfers are April 16th which is coming up and then like you know the next transfer is 6 weeks later.. and no my comp has never been District or zone leader..

Lindsay - thank you for both emails this week.. ha ha they were very entertaining!! yes i am loving my mission.. to be honest the time is going by i would say mediocore its not going by slow but it definetly isn't going by fast either so its like medium..
