Fwd: This week

Dear Family,

This week was another good one. I finally can say that i am becoming an old fart in the mission... i dont know anyone anymore, and its just coming fast... We had a pretty slow week and i was not the mosty motivated when it comes to tracting, but we did teach more lessons than any other week thus far. We taught Doug the plan of Salvation finally yesterday. We havent been able to meet with him for a while because he is a pilot firefighter and has been called in a TON recently. But we understand and he always has cool stories, this week he saved people and landed on a freeway! Pretty neat. He and Scott were both at church this week! Hopefully we can start teaching him too.OH i almost forgot! we had interviews this week with President Castro. They went very well. I was nervous for no reason haha.
The Missionary Bucket is still barely taking off, but we are starting to see some success! Woohoo!

I can honestly say that i have been here long enough to really know most of everybody in both wards. Its neat and i love how awesome everyone is here. Looking forward to the 4th of july! I now have all the ingredients to make all the pancakes i want! And i am kinda renowned for it now because i have made them with a few members. Fun to make, a hassle to clean up. I know how you feel now mom, its sucks when you get done cooking a bunch because you almost lose the desire to eat them...

I found a distant cousin here this week when we were visiting this partmember family. The mother inlaw is related. Her name is Vicki Haymore Everts. (805) 404 8794 if you want to call. She actually lives in arizona now, she used to live here and is just visiting. We found out because i mentioned Andrew Hunter Scott.

Speaking of Bikes Dad, IM SUPER JEALOUS, all the intense guys around here seem to ride the Trek Superfly elite 100. Super Sick bike. I got mine tuned up this week and its running great, it sucks because the pros still can do it better than me... No fair, Jk. I hope that i can keep up with you when i get home, i am looking forward to it.

My goal weight is actually 200. i havent been diligent lately and have kinda stopped losing, kind of stuck at 213. But i will hopefully get there sometime. I think i am going to try and tone out and then work on losing more...

Well i love you all and Hope all stays well. Good luck Mason with your Knee and Weston with your work. Hope you finish that Eagle! then you can drive!
