To My Family
Alright calm down over my email about the girl from Utah, hahaha, she's 20 and is my companions friend from back home. We email back and forth and send pictures, so calm down mom! And why would I be writing a 16 year old, hahaha....uhhh....anyways.
This week has been pretty interesting, we tracted a lot and saw a bird fly into a window and die...that was exiting. We tried talking to this one guy but he said, "Beat it." So we asked if we could help him shovel the snow out of his driveway, he said "Just leave." So we asked if he knew anyone he might know we could talk to, "Go somewhere else to annoy someone!" Awww good times....
Thanksgiving was nice, went to a members house and it was good! It was a good day, came back and just slept...
Haven't been able to really find anyone for new investigators to teach, just helping less active members.
If anyone asks just tell them to get me a Walmart gift card, pretty much the only store we shop at.
We have our Christmas party on the 5th and it's going to be sweet!
Oh yeah this past Sunday I gave a 15 minute talk, talked about patience and humility. The Stake President came up to me after and said, "Elder I'm very impressed, I did not realize this was your first talk in the mission field, the spirit you brought was glorifying!" I'm like sweet!
We heard a shooting the other night around 11:30 pm, scared the crap out of me, just said a quick prayer and went back to sleep. We usually hear about 2 - 4 cop cars every night, so no biggie.
Well it's nice to know how you really feel about computer games, I'll have to give Connor a bad time about it. lol. Just let Adam have some fun, give him a break, hahaha. Keep playing the guitar and I wish I could hear mom play, I'm sure she's going to be pro when I get home!
Thanks for the Love!

About two weeks ago Devin mentioned he was writing a girl. Big mistake to mention to his mother. This is her little boy you know. I'm sure hearing gun shots and sirens each night is a big change from West Roseville life. Can't tell you the last time I heard a gun shot here.....
