To answer your question. The only lesson we taught all this week was the person we have on date, her name is Elida. She's been doing absolutely stellar, she's super excited for her baptism and it's her birthday on that day as well. She's invited her family and friends and she's been reading her scriptures and praying more and more. Her and her husband are so funny, they are both pretty young and just fun to talk to. Funny thing was we had Stake Conference yesterday at 10:00 and we got a text from her asking why nobody was at the church building at 1:00. I just looked at it and smacked my head, I thought they knew about stake conference and it all got goofed up. Her baptismal interview is this Wednesday and after hers I'll be giving another one for somebody in my district they are teaching.

Man, Dad's work is just getting crazy by the sound of it. Sounds like a ton of fun though, I'll be rooting for him over here. Funny that Savannah's dance keeps getting in the way, that girl is nuts. Bryson probably picked up those things because of me. I know I was a trouble maker of worts back home, then again you would know, Mom's know everything.

Not going to lie Mom. It is getting REALLY ought out here, just trying to be faithful in the work. California is an interesting place, everyone thinks we are soliciting even though we aren't selling anything, everyone opens and slams the door because I can say "Hi", people deliberately attack our faith acting super snobby like they know everything (though those are fun because I can put them in their place with pure scriptural knowledge, plus the Spirit testifies to them and they deny it, so that's fun). Currently at a struggle right now, I've honestly thought a lot about going home because nothing is really being done out here, I just feel like I'm wasting time trying to help these people in California.  To think about it the only thing keeping me out here is the fact Elida is so great, and that so many people are looking up to me from back home that I don't want to disappoint them, and DEFINITELY NOT disappoint the Lord. I'm just getting sick of it out here, I'm trying to do my best but nothing is coming from it.

I don't want you or Dad to worry about me right now. You guys have a lot on your plate and Bryson needs everything he can get. I'll do my best from over, but goodnight when I do get back I am going to drop kick that kid. His emails just want me to fly over there, smack him a couple times, and fly back and I could still work out here because it's a stinking 1 hour flight away from home. If you haven't noticed already, I am very sarcastic when it comes to me expressing my negative feelings out here. I'm being serious, but I'm trying to make the most fun out of it.

Give everyone a hug for me, and don't give up out there. I LOVE YOU MOMMA! Have fun over there with the rain. If you respond back I'll try and do the same.

We had a mission conference yesterday so our preparation day got switched today for the time being. But we might be having a temple trip sometime this next month in November, but I'll try and warn you and everyone in advance. I honestly dont know if I will, just thinking about it makes me queasy. I know that trials are for the better, but I really really really want it to be done. Truly. I'm going to be sending a letter to the Mulder's sometime today or tomorrow, cause I am thankful for them. I dont even know anymore honestly.  Yeah I heard about Elder Noorlander's little brother coming to the mission a couple weeks back. Everyone here was honestly shocked, because as far as I know that's never happened. He comes into the mission sometime in December I believe. Well my new companion is Elder Singleton, and as far as I am concerned I hope and pray I only stay with him for this one and only transfer. He was trained by actually my trainer (my 2nd one), Elder Chris

Yup transfers happened today and Elder McLaughlin is leaving to go finish training another Elder who just came out 6 weeks ago. He'll do great out there, I'm getting Elder Johnson (he came out into the mission when I was in my 4th transfer in Ontario) and he's from North Carolina! I've served around him quite a bit so this'll be fun! I think PDay will still be the same. We can email from our phones and not everything is closed so it'll be fine, what holiday is coming up? I don't know anything so far as of right now concerning my mission reassignment. It'll probably be talked about later in the future, still up in the air but I believe President Taylor has been talking with the neighboring missions concerning what'll happen.  Mary did pass her baptismal interview though this past Wednesday! She's super excited for her baptism coming up really soon. We started making her baptismal program for her and inviting everyone we know to come and attend.

Alright Question time: 1. How'd the week go? Well we had zone conferences so we had it in the desert and the valley so that took out a good chunk of time during the day. But I was able to learn a lot regarding studies and how can we get more out of them. After all the purpose of studying is rooting ourselves more in the gospel and replenishing our understanding. I feel like if we have a purpose of why we are studying or praying to learn about new things it'll be given unto us. 2. Anything exciting? Well recently our mission and a couple missions ran into a little problem. All the missions with technology using the MaaS360 app had a pretty harsh thing happen. Somehow all the apps or things we use got disabled and removed so we no longer have our Area Book Planner, Facebook Messenger, and a ton of other apps that are to make the work move forward. Lots of missionaries called us this morning. I counted 22 phone calls and 11 text messages from all different missionaries
