Hey Mom!
Well, no pics again this week... we are at a different FHC and there
are no slots, and I forgot my card reader.... SORRY! I'll send some next week.
Sounds like there’s a lot going on! Sam did email, and he said
they're having a boy! WOO! That’s so exciting. Good for them! They’re in my
prayers.
Umm we moved, the apartment is so nice! I'll be sure to send ya some
pictures. I'm still sorry for that! Its fun for me to send pictures, because
then it feels like you can see into my life! Haha
We have ZLC tomorrow in Ventura, so that will be good. Did I tell
you I’m still a zone leader? Senior zone leader at that? I'm so blessed though,
I have the best companion. He is from Ririe actually, but went to school in
Rexburg. We have so much fun! We also got Zone T shirts made that have the LA
temple with "Thousand Oaks" across the top and down the side it says,
"We're legit" Haha! The last elders had them made, and they just came
in. we're blessed!
We spent a couple days either moving in, or setting gals with
companionships. We went with every companionship and set 3 goals they want to
achieve before the end of the transfer, took their picture, and put them all up
in our apartment, so we can see them and their goals, and follow up with them!
It’s great. Off to a good start!
On the 3rd of March, Brother Heaton from the MTC is coming to ZLC,
so that should be awesome! He's the director of MTC stuff for the church.
Crazy!
I did get your package!!! Thanks so much!!!! I love you. It was
great! I loved the pictures so much. THANKS! Do you think I could still get
some new white shirts? Mine are now more of a "Poop" color. You are
the best! I really appreciate all your help.
Last transfer was probably one of my hardest. I have felt so
unconfident, and its been so weird! I don't know where it came from, but the
adversary has been working hard on me. Elder Brodie went through a lot of the
same stuff, so we have been helping each other SO Much. I know that President
Castro is called of God! I see it in my companion. I am SOOOOOOOO blessed. I
wish you could just see inside my head and understand how i feel. There aren’t
words for it!! The Church is true.
Yesterday at Church, a former investigator (That still comes with
his girlfriend) came to us and told us that he has been working thru a lot of
stuff, and set his own baptismal date of March 31. Wow! We are going to work
with him and help him get there! Miracles left and right.
Tell Natalie to stop being a pile and write me! I miss her tons!! I
want her advice and encouragement. I love hearing from her because she knows
what i'm going through. Tell her!!!!! Thanks:)
We went to Brittany Spear's house last week on our drive through
Lake Sherwood! It was fun! :) hahaha sooo many famous people here! And we went
by Jackie Chan's house as well on our way to Malibu Lake. FUN FUN! :) I'm
blessed.
Well, that’s about it for me! Sorry no pics... I’m working on it!
Thanks for all you do! I love you and miss ya tons! Keep in touch!
Love,
