End of Feb 2011

Dear familia,

Yes. Thank you so much for the valentine's day package. It kept slipping my mind these last two weeks every time I email. Sorry. And thank you!

I'm glad to hear that the play worked out in the end and that it was well attended. I hope that every one enjoyed themselves. And I also hope that this year's videoing part works out better then the last video.

So is Mom still in young woman's on top of cub scouts? That sounds stressful in it's self. That was one thing that was different out here, in all my areas they would hold cub scouts on wednesday nights along with all the other activities. I thought that that was discouraged but I guess it doesn't really matter. It makes sense out here because everyone has to drive into town so just make one trip. Where as in Mesa it would be to big deal to take go to the church several times a week. Different world, same church.

Who of my friends in Mesa could they teach? I'll think about that. Though last night while I was praying a guy I worked with at Geronimo came to mind. John Harold (sadly I am second guessing his last name, I've done that with alot of people lately, It's been a while). I gave him a Book of Mormon when I left. You could find him on my facebook. He lives in Tucson. He's who comes to mind.

So Elder Thonpson left Bristol and now I an serving with Elder Manoa. Elder Manoa is a Tongan from California. He's pretty fun, though he think's I'm out of my mind. We were going to this meal appointment that I had only been to once before. So we get to the street and I'm like "that looks like the house" he's like "looks like? are you sure dog?" I say "no. but I think it's it." So we go up to it and this random girl walks out. So we just teach them as if we were just tracting. As we walked away he was like "man dog! you got the wrong house!" we got a good laugh about it. He doesn't trust my directions now.
