Dang 43 degrees huh? sounds really cold specially when riding bikes through the wind! ahah thats good that you got to spend time with the family. Be thankful for that cause a lot of the people in the world cant travel even one hour to visit family cause they dont have enough money!... Thats definitely a miracle that dad got to eat with you on a call day. Usualy we dont see him on those days for sure.

You can tell Aaron to wait and see cuase im still doin my exercise out here!!! haha tell rino no worries im going to be just fine. I cant wait to hang out with my lil bro rino again! tell rae i say Hey wats up Chavala!! telll jordan that he truly is a stud and i really respect him a lot cause he works so hard with his musical abilities and doesnt give up on that great talent he has.

Welll, the language is coming along a lot better today. I really feel that as i open my mouth and speak and not worry about messing up, i speak and understand a lot better. So yesterday and this morning i was in a place called san ramon with elder gomez. Its a pretty cool little town not a lot of people in it. We went up the highway a little ways and taught this older man and his daughter who are investigators- The older man was kinda stubborn and kept saying how can i know which church is true there are so many. Elder gomez said ok my companion is going to explain how. I used james 1:5 and explained that through prayer and the power of the spirit we can know all things. I feel that when we teach to have the spirit and really want to help the people, im able to talk and understand 10x better. When i taught yesterday the words and verbs were coming to me a lot more naturally than normal and i was able to understand really well. I really believe in the gift of tongues now that i have seen it in action. Its a true principle of the church that we are so lucky to be a part of. So We held a little meeting and had the kids watch the testaments and restauration and afterwards we bore our testimonies to them. There were about 20 25 people. It was great to share my testimony at the moment cause the movie really set the tone and spirit in the room and then i was able to start off of that. This morning we went to shower at the chapel. It was pretty cool. My first time showering from a hole in the wall. about 2 minutes into my shower the water pressure went way way down and i had to fill the water in my hands and splash it on me haha it was funny.


Well if there is any advice for Aaron and Jordan it is this. Go on Splits with the missionaries. At first it might be a little scary but it is the best way for you to prepare for this great work. A lot of the members here go on splits with us and those that are 16 17 and 18 have all gone on splits. They are really strong in the spirit of missionary work and have already learned how to teach the gospel. I really wish i had done it more. Seriously find time to go on splits!!!!

Well not much else here. Our changes are on wednesday. My companion talked with one of the assistants to the president and supposedly either i or him are getting changed. I kinda hope not becusae things are looking much better with him right now. We have a lot of references beacuse our members brought a bunch of people to church on sunday and both him and i are excited to go and teach more people. Im excited cause we are going to be working harder than wat we were before. But o well if i get changed or he does ok, Lords knows best.


WElllll, I love you all so much. Im so greatful we can live together forever. Im so glad for mom and dad; your faithfulness and apreciation for each other is amazing. Love you all love jonnnnny boy
