November 14, 2011



Hi mom!! Everything is going great here. I do need some things though. I need temple clothes asap. It is a small temple so you can't rent clothes here. I just need slippers, pants 34/34, and a white tie. They have packets here we can use. I don't go to the temple till next transfer though and that is in 4 weeks so there is some time. I have white socks also. I also need another hand towel along with the big towel if that would be possible. Also some more shampoo. I don't want to buy it because it is soooo expensive. Also popcorn please lol. I really miss it and it is $4.00 for three bags of generic brand here. Way to expensive. Thanks so much mom. Please send the board games also. Me and Catmull need something to do on Thanksgiving day because we aren't allowed to go to the gym and no one wants to be bugged on Thanksgiving so we basically are stuck in our apartment all day. So those board games would be awesome to play then.
We actually walk a ton here. More than we drive because our area is so small. The farthest thing away is five miles so definitely within walking distance. We are only given a certain # of miles we can drive each month so we walk a lot so we can use them for other things.
The mission president before Bowen was letter of the law guy so I lucked out because Bowen is awesome and totally spirit of the law. He is really spiritual though and such a Christ like man.
Me and Elder Catmull are the only ones in our apartment and it is like that in the whole mission. They don't like missionaries living together because things can get more rowdy sometimes.
I haven't driven yet because Catmul is the designated driver. I am cleared to drive though if I ever needed to. The traffic can get pretty bad but it isn't bad at all. We don't live in the big city though so it is mostly residental where we are.
The weather is so so nice. It is just beautiful here. It doesn't go above 75 during the day and doesn't go below 55 at night and that is just winter. Summer it is suppose to be even nicer. It is just sunny every day though.
We don't see missionaries very often unless it's p-day and we are at the church or it is district meetings because we are the only ones in our area. The ocean isn't in our area but Elder Catmul took me to it and we got some pics by it.
We have the biggest investigator pool out of everyone. We teach a lot and contact a lot. Hand out pass along cards on campus to students, mostly asian.
My first Sunday was nice. I had to bear my testimony and just introduce myself. Everyone asks me if I am related to Gordon B. EVERYONE DOES lol. Then I tell them how I am related and they are like. Meh okay. It's funny. The members are so nice though and everyone is just really strong in the church. I love you guys so much.
