Here's some info about the call mom:
As you e-mail your family today, please share the following information with them about Mothers Day phone calls:
Your phone calls should be short. Plan to talk for only 30 minutes. Start saying goodbye at that time so that the call will be done within 35-40 minutes from when the phone call began. Please make sure that you tell your parents about this time limit TODAY when you e-mail them.
Remember what it says in the white handbook (page 37): “Take care that phone calls do not pull your thoughts away from your service.” The longer the phone call, the more your thoughts will be pulled away from your missionary service and from your purpose as a missionary.
Please tell them in today’s e-mail what time you plan to call. It will be a Sunday, so you need to have the call scheduled for a time when you are not in church meetings.
Please remember that you are not allowed to use your mission cell phone to make your call home for Mothers Day. The minutes assigned to your phone are to be used for missionary work here in your area in the California Ventura Mission. And your family is not to ever know what your cell phone number is!
Please get a calling card so that you can make your phone call from either a phone in the foyer area of the chapel where you meet or from the home of a member. Do not assume that you will be able to use a member’s landline or cell phone to make your call at no cost to you. If they offer, that is fine. But do not assume they will. That is why you should have a calling card regardless of where the phone call is made from.
Well, I'm not sure when or where we will be calling, we asked if anyone was willing to have us over in our PEC meeting yesterday, and people started jumping! Haha! So we will probably be calling around 3:00 - 5:00? Sorry I’m not too sure
This week was a lot better. Sorry for the depressing email! Haha but it's sometimes tough. It's been great being senior companion. I love driving all over! We had to get the locks on our doors fixed at the Chevy dealer, so we had to go on an adventure through Santa Barbara (A little over 400,000 people), so that's always exciting. But the dealer drove us around to our meetings at the chapel, so it worked out.

We talked to president Murri, and he said that was fine! How exciting! It's going to be cool! And I think we are going to go on a little walk through and see all the rooms. Plus they have an assembly hall! Cool! I'm so pumped!
We also got to help with Mormon Helping Hands this last weekend. We went to a school and weeded and landscaped etc. It was a lot of fun! Haha!
