 Hey mommy I love you. Things are cool. We had a super good week. We had a nice Zone Conference, where our zone leaders encouraged us to do more little lessons with people in the street, so we started doing that and the work just exploded. We taught a ton of people. We had 21 lessons in the week. I bet we were the teaching leaders in the whole mission. Me and Elder Prieto are pretty much like the Lebron James and the Dwayne Wade of our mission. Speaking of such, how is the NBA Finals going. Dad forgot about me I guess. He didn't write me this week. Thats so cool you are so a fun trip. I wish I was on a fun trip sometimes. It feels like we see the same stuff everyday haha. A little change would be nice. I'm thinking I'm going to get transferred in a couple of weeks, so my wish might just come true. Everything is so good. I like the ward, I'm feeling better about everything, its all good. I love you mommy. I'll try to write a week summary tonight on my typewriter.  The Washington DC temple is super nice. It looks like a castle. Keep an eye out for a sister missionary there named Hermana Shannon. She was in the other district that came in with mine in the MTC. She is stinking cute and everyone was crushing on her big time haha.

That would sweet if you saw her at the visitor's center over there.  She is really dark and super tiny. Can't miss her haha. Love you mommy. Just had a much better week. Love you. Talk you to you later! Send pictures of your trip!

3 good things about the week?

1. We taught 21 lessons this week! The most of my entire mission!

2. Good zone conference this week on Tuesday.

3. Went bowling. I didn't do too hot, but it was nice to back on the lanes.

Something funny that happened?

Ok so on Saturday, our ward was doing a car wash to help send the yound women to their encampment or whatever, and so we were there helping out and sending our car through the cycle. We had our car parked and we were just standing around talking, and then boom! out of no where this woman just plows into the back of our van. It was so weird. Just so surreal to watch someone smash into your own car. She didn't do much damage, just scratched the paint more than anything, but I imagine that it will be the priciest car wash of her life haha.

I am glad that you had a nice birthday.  Please tell the Flores thank you from your mother for taking care of my boy.  What does she do at Disneyland?

Actually its the Hermano Flores who works there. I think he does the food or something at one of the restaurants in the park.

Did you like your blanket that we made?  Sammy made Tyrel one for graduation.  His colors are maroon and black.

I do like it. Very Clemson Tigery. I was super glad that I could get rid of that old stinky, flithy one that I found in the Villa del Sol apartment.

Remind me about Elder Groesbeck.  Where is he from?

Houston Texas.

Have you treated other Elders to snow cones? Did you ever decide to buy shoes?

Oh yes. Elder Prieto was sick yesterday, so I made him a Get Well Snowcone which consists of shaved ice with a Day-Quil flavor topping. I'm going to go for the shoes today I think. And the book.

Investigators? Kevin? Cesar? Others? (name and + comments)

We dropped all our weak investigators and went big this week. We learned a new method, using short lessons in the street and we found 11 new investigators. Pretty sweet. One of them, is this woman named Orealina, something like that, and she had acutally had some contact with the church previously, in fact she had been reading the Book of Mormon in her car while she waited for her kids to get out of school for the last 7 years. So it was pretty incredible that we found her.

How did Lance Storm do when he went bowling last week?

He didn't meet his own expectations, but he's not letting it get him down.
