There is about 10 missionaries that have mono... the kissing disease. Its been pretty bad... but its in San Diego. 2 of them went home for the recovery. And I hope I never have to do that... coming out 1 time was hard... 2 times would be extremely hard.

We were told that we couldn't give any advise to the ward here on how to better do things. They don't like to be told by 19 year old people that their is a better way to do things... so it has to come from the mission president... things are coming a lot slowly but surely. Hopefully they will start to go see people by them selves.

We actually didn't end up going to the temple cause President said it was too far of a drive so we will just have to go next transfer... we are only supposed to go every other transfer. So that will be something to do next transfer.

Mom, reptiles carry diseases? So do humans so I am not worried about it. I washed my hands so you don't have to worry about it at all :) The shed that the spider was on was about half the size of our camping shed. So it was still a big spider.

We had interviews... i think it was the shortest one yet... i was in there for about 1 minute... usually i am in there for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Lol My interviews aren't very intense. But next transfer... we aren't going to have interviews or zone conference... it is just going to be 3 strait days of training... and then we are going to go out with the mission president or other leaders... probably from salt lake and be coached actually teaching people... sounds kinda scary

Being out here in California, I have learned to love how faithful the members in our ward are. It will be nice to be in that ward again. People here are very stubborn... and no one has a car so they can't really help people get to church. Hard stuff sometimes.

I would love to get letters from the girls in the ward... they were fun especially Chalese Johnson... we were best buds. I get letters from Bill and LaRae Parker every month and i make sure i write everyone back who writes me. It is fun to get mail.

I have played in The Primary here a little bit and do for priesthood every once in awhile... primary was the funnest to play though cause kids are so funny to hear sing.We are going to like 3 different houses for dinner so that will be a lot of food. There was about like 8 people who have asked to have us over for Thanksgiving... so we had to limit it to 3. Still too much. but whatever.

I would definitely play the new call of duty when I get home. Even if there is a new one out... I love those games! they are so fun. I know you don't like them cause you just shoot people, but its a fun game and I love all of the old ones too. So if you wanted to buy the game I wouldn't be against it lol.

Thanks for everything
