"Hey Grandma, sorry for not talking to you Yesterday. Today is my P-Day. I am doing pretty well right now and I did get a Haircut a couple of weeks ago. I am working hard and I do the best I can to enjoy life. P-Day is usually the day that I enjoy the most mainly because I can get a break once a week. Last week we went to Golf land to play some Mini-Golf with some other Elders. I got in 3rd place, so I guess I could of done better. Today we went to the Mesa Temple to do Endowments on some names. My person was Joseph George Pieterech who was born in 1894 which was pretty neat.
I'm Still curious about where I will be Transferred in a couple weeks, maybe Miami or Globe? Taffy (the family dog we live with) doesn't remind me of Comet that much, but yes she does bark every time there is a car in front of the house. We are teaching a lot of people from Geneo Lakes Apartments as well as San Fernando Apartments. Most of the people are nice around this area and they will tell us if they are interested or not. There are a lot of members in the area and I wish I knew about more of them. I am still trying to figure out everyone's name in the 3 wards I am serving in, but I'm not too good at memory right now. Some people driving will honk their horns at us showing that they support what we are doing. Anyways it is always great to hear from you every week and let me know how your new Carpeting works out. I will talk to you in the future."
To Dad:
"Sorry for not replying yesterday, but our P Day is today and not yesterday. Anyways I am glad to talk to you every week at this time. The last week has been pretty ok and I hope it continues that way. Last week we went to Golf land to play some mini-golf with some other Elders and I ended up getting 3rd place. My skills need to be improved on in the future, but it was still a lot of fun. I guess the other interesting thing that happened to me this week was when Elder Uceda and Elder Quinton L. Cook came down to our Missionary Conference. Apparently they are going around the mission fields to see how everything is going. While I can't remember everything he said in his talk I do remember one thing in his Testimony. Elder Cook said that he knows the Savior's Voice and his face. I had to ask some other people if they heard the same thing and they told me they had heard it as well.
Church is pretty good and we have to cover three different wards but two of them meet at the same time on Sundays, so we have to rotate every single week. We did get a baptismal date for one person but she lives in Gold Canyon so we can't really count it as a convert in our area. It will be interesting to see if we can get any other people baptized in the apartment areas we have. Some of them have been doing pretty well in the lessons while some haven't been doing the commitments we asked them to partake in.
Going on a Mission is not that hard but getting people to go to Church is. I wish people would be more open minded to the idea and just see why we are here with them.
Today we did go to the Temple for some Endowments which are done once every transfer. It was a different video this time around so I just have 1 more that I haven't seen yet but hopefully I will be able to in the future. We also ate some Pasta Prima Spinach Ravioli from Costco today as a District lunch and played a card game called Bang! I recommend picking it up if you can find it. I know I'll be Transferred in 2 weeks but I have no Idea where I will be at this time. That will happen at the end of the month so if I get sent out to Miami or Globe it is probably not a good idea to send any packages to the mission home as it will take around 1 hr and 30 minutes to get there. Anyways I hope to talk to you soon in the future."
