I did get my package last week!
I got it right after emailing! We get mail from the zone leader’s right after
email each week. I saw as we were passing this week there was some sort of padded
envelope from Grandma! Also last week I did get a letter from Grandpa Pickle. I
don't know what other mail I will get this week though!
My knee is doing better, and yes we run every morning but Sunday.
On car fast days I figure we walk around 5 miles or so.
As far as contacts are going we are doing amazing! We have
upped the number of contacts made here in a week a little over 300% since we
have got here and the contacting number is the highest it has been in four
years. We have gone from 0 lessons with a member present each week to 1-2 (we
are working on more but it is really hard because when we have our members with
us people seem to not answer the door or the appointment drops but I guess they
do that anyway) As far as investigators are going F y C dropped us this week
which was sad. S is kind of progressing, he doesn't like to make promises...
but he did come to church this week which is good because he has to go at least
one more time if he is going to meet his baptismal date of April 13th. We have
only two other progressing investigators both jovenes A y J. A I don't know too
much about we have visited him one and he came to church this Sunday which was
good. He really likes basketball and that takes up a ton of his time. J wants
to get baptized but his dad is an eternagator (investigator for a loooong time)
who likes worshiping idols and his catholic church and doesn't want J to get baptized
until he does. In our last visit we talked with each individually and told J to
talk to his dad about his desire to get baptized and to Dad telling him to let
his son get baptized because he knows it is right, has a testimony of it, and
is what he wants. So we'll see how that goes.
There have been lots of spiritual experiences, one that
comes to mind was one time when we were contacting and Elder Herrera said that
we needed to knock a door and so we did and the guy who answered wasn't really
interested in our message but Elder Feinauer decided to teach him about the BoM
on his doorstep. This helped him to open up and then he started asking us
questions. After this his wife came to the door and invited us in to come eat
some pizza roll things. So we talked with them and ate. After that they invited
us back to have a lesson with them. We only got to teach them that one lesson
because they are English speakers so we have had to hand them over to the
redhawk sisters. But it was a cool experience!
The best thing about my mission? There are a lot of great
things, ha-ha but I love the warm weather, I would have been kind of sad to be
in cold weather but I love it here in Cali. I think the best part is probably
how much I have learned being here and how much more appreciation I have gotten
for the gospel and the scriptures. I wish that I had spent more time reading
and studying my scriptures before my mission. The worst thing? Probably the stupid
jumpers knee it made it really hard to run/ walk places and wasn't fun.

Oh, I was wondering if you would think of some lunches that
are cheap that I could buy for everyday eating, we have about $32 each week to
buy everything for the week so if you could think of some things that would be
good to buy that would be awesome. I have stuff but since you know shopping a
lot better I would like to hear your ideas!
We saw a huge car wreck this week where the car broke a cement light pole, crashed through two barriers and some electrical boxes, and rolled over and backwards with a tire ripped off. We passed a few minutes after it happened it was crazy but I got to go love you guys!!!
