June 18, 2012

I missed you guys too on fathers day. This ward did something really fun though. After church they put all these cookies, that every single mom baked in the ward, in a room and only dads were allowed in. We were allowed also because we are Elders ha ha. There were so many cookies and only guys in there, no kids and no women. It was like an elite club or something. Really amazing and really really good. I hope dad liked his card I thought it was funny and totally reminded me of what he has gone through with me ha ha.
We found a new investigator. It was so amazing we went tracting and prayed on where to go. We then saw two guys moving furniture out of a truck and we went up and helped them. We met the lady that owns the house and her name is Peggy Anderson. She is a 80 year old lady and super nice. She is full of spit fire though and has a temper ha ha. I love her to death. We are going to be helping her with some yardwork and moving things around the house. She is Catholic and has raised 9 kids all by herself. Her alcoholic ex husband walked out on her and her kids when she was 30. It was terrible. She has been through a lot and we hope that the gospel will apply to her life.
It is getting really hot here. We are in the desert part of the mission so it kinda sucks. I'm okay though because I know it is like super hot back home and this is nothing. Elder Kohl though is a little bit more over weight and if he starts sweating and can't stop sweating so we kinda have to take it easy some days and get lots of water when we go out. 
We have a member of the ward who is a karate master and has like 4 black belts. He teaches us how to fight and self defense on p-days. It is super fun. We get to spar and fight and stuff. I am pretty sure that I look like a dork doing it ha ha. 
We really aren't allowed to go to anything like any big events or Mormon night stuff because it usually is past our curfew and out of our area's so haven't seen to much of that.
I love you guys and it is so great to hear that Papa had a good fathers day. Thank you all for everything love you guys.

(Dad's letter)
Hi dad, happy fathers day. I really missed you the other day. Everybody went around the room and talked about their dad. It was hard. You'll have to read mom's e-mail to get more info I don't want to repeat information.
So I got to meet Howie Kendrick who plays for the Angels the other day. He was having a signing at OC Sportzcardz and the Brad the guy that owns it let us meet him. Elder Jackson got an autograph and I got a picture with all of us with him. It was really cool. He saw us and was like you guys LDS and we were like yeah. He then told us about how you guys were cool and that he use to play basketball with us every monday and that he would get smoked by these mormon kids. It was really funny. Really good guy. I'll send the picture to you on the flash drive. I also told Brad that you liked the Royals and he started to give me cards of them to send home to you ha ha. I'll have to send them. Like OC Sportzcardz on facebook and you can see a picture of me on there.
That is good that Jaylen is doing well in soccer. I hope that she goes far with it. That does suck about Kate though getting sick. (Kate only lasted one night at her first girl's camp. She got really sick and had to come home.) Ha ha that is funny that you had to do security. (Dad had to sleep over one night at girl's camp.) No kids running into barbed wire fences that night huh? Ha ha.
I miss you guys and don't need much right now. Thank you all for everything. Read mom's e-mail for more info on the week. I love you dad and happy fathers day.
