Whatever you do..... don't buy a Mac. (Our computer is broken at home and we are thinking of buying a new computer.) It is a trick and a horrible lie. You may have sold your soul to Steve Jobs (may he rest in peace) but that doesn't mean that the family has to follow you down. I do remember playing Mech Warrior, I also remember getting frustrated that I could never get past the first level when I played it by myself ha ha. Some things do change though..... now I can get past the first level. Oh Yeah!!! So what new computer are you going to get? You still got Mary Jane? (Mary Jane is the name of my computer).

 

That is awful about Matt. I(Matt Graham in our ward) Is he going to go back? How sick is he? I hope I hear from him soon.

 

That new High School does sound pretty neat. Hope that Jaylen has a fun time in it. Consol did feel like a prison though. Glad that this one is more open. The schools in California aren't buildings though. They don't have hallways they are all outside in individual buildings. It is crazy. To get to a classroom you just walk right into it instead of going into a building first. 

 

Well being transferred sucks. I hate it. You have to learn people's name again, move all your stuff, and start over completely. You know me I don't like change that much and this is a lot of change at once. Plus our apartment is awful.... lets just say mom would take one look at it and run away screaming. So I had a lot of cleaning to do. I don't think missionaries understand that they need to clean the table off after they eat. I think I wiped up about 3-4 years of food, dirt, and muck when I wash those tables. The Yorba Linda area is really nice, but it is a lot hotter here. About 10 degrees because I don't have that ocean breeze. It is weird not being in a student ward anymore because sacrament is so quiet and there are a lot more old people in our ward. The only place in the mission that is remotely dangerous is certain places in Santa Ana. This is a really safe mission for the most part. Member refferals are less in every area. I have yet to recieve one from somebody in my ward. Elder Khol my comp is cool. He was a band guy in high school. He is a kid in high school where I would have seen in the band hall and talked to but nothing more. So we get along well.

 

Let me know how that trip to Nebraska is. I wish I could go with that to you. Is the whole Hinckley clan flying up there for that?

 

Oh dangit! You put up that Student Union. I signed a petition against that!!! Definitely not for that! Ha ha I do think that your opinion is a little biased about it but I bet it looks really cool. Can't wait to see it when I get back. I'll walk on the grass and wear a huge hat also just to be a rebel like that.

 

I got something called dry-el it is suppose to be drycleaning that you can do in the dryer. It was 7 bucks and so I picked it up because dry cleaning here is 7-8 dollers per pant and 14 dollars for a suit jacket. So I will let you know how that goes.

 

I do need some toothpaste, deoderant, shampoo (anti-dandruff kind), and some med stuff. So I got a chemical burn from cleaning the oven the other day and it really hurts and is not healing very fast so if you could send some neosporin that would be awesome, also I was talking to this lady on the street and she said that vitamins that are Pro-biotics would help my acne. I didn't convert her but she may have given me the cure to my acne. So if you could send some Pro-Biotics that would be awesome. Thank you guys so much for everything.

 

Love,
