Hey Dad!! I'm still in the same area its pretty small and we cover the ghetto of San Bernardino a place called Muscoy it is pretty neat down there lol. the weather can't make up its mind its either raining or sunshine but either way its still pretty warm. As for transfers they ain't for another few weeks still in April sometime I don't remember when lol. This past week we did a ton of work with less active they have been kinda our main focus. This next week is going to be really good due to General Conference cause that is always a really good one to get non members and less active to its pretty bomb to listen to the prophet. love yall and take care.

Well most of this week I was sick so we didn't get a lot done which ain't good. Yesterday was our Stake Conference with Elder D. Todd Christofferson which was awesome. He talked a lot about the Holy Ghost the importance of families and again what President Monson asked for at general conference the need for more missionaries and really talked about Senior Couples the need for them to go. He also informed us that all the missionaries in Japan are all fine and are accounted for and the most of the members also have been accounted for there are a few that they haven't found yet and fear the worst for them but for those that were accounted for non have died. Along with Christofferson Elder Packer of the Seventy was there he mainly just bore his testimony about the Holy Ghost both were really good talks we enjoyed them a lot. After the meeting Elder Christofferson invited everyone to come up so he could shake hands with them and after myself and Elder Purccel and Elder Tausisi two of my earlier comps got a picture with him it was neat. also next month Elder L. Tom Perry will be coming down to visit the mission so we are way excited for that too. so that was my week for the most part. Yeah i got the package it was great thanks I was a little confused on where the shirts came from at first lol. love ya all.

Yeah i did hear a little about the Japan thing some members were telling us about it that's way crazy what happened way sad too. So story for grandpa hmm lets see.....hmm there are so many all the times that he took me fishing all those times (and there are a lot of those :)) going out up the road from there house and being pulled on their old sled in the snow and riding on the four wheeler and of course all the camping trips that we went on with them. There are just so many stories and good memories that we have had that its hard to just think of a couple, I love them all. I love spending time with my grandpa!!
So transfers have come up and nothing is happening my comp and I are both staying. Things are going good we have worked a lot with less active this past week going over and talking to them to see why they are less active and see what we can do to help them. I got sick yesterday so we only went to the first part of church. next Sunday is our Stake Conference and the are redoing the Stake Presidency is being changed up so Elder D. Todd Christofferson is coming down to do it so it will be cool to be able to meet him. He will be the 4th apostle that I have met while on my mission.

Yeah I heard about the plane crash I know the Elder a little bit but not very well his name is Elder Johnson. My new area is pretty nice its a small ward (think i already said that though) the ppl are way nice and into missionary work so its pretty cool the other day we got a new investigator Sis Colbert her brother died last November then her Aunt died in December and last month her Dad died so its been pretty rough on her we found cause we went to go visit her mother who is a less active but she wasn't home so we talked with her daughter instead (investigator) who is Methodist it was a really good talk we talked about the plan of salvation mostly and also gave her a Book of Mormon to read she is bomb. Her husband was out back tinkering around on a few things they have an old '73 chevy pickup that they have lifted up and put some big ol tires on lol pretty sweet I think. well that was most of my week yall take care and get better. Happy Valentines day.
