I am glad to hear that the trip went well. That is cool that you got to see all the family even the new addition. Even got to see Jess, ha ha!! I am really jealous. She still seemed interested in me ha ha? I can't believe that all of my family members are buying mac computers. I leave home and everyone is just going to the pits ha ha.

 

Everything here is going good. We haven't been running (thank goodness) because we have been doing so much biking. I lost our keys yesterday, they fell out of my pocket somewhere. So we had to smash a window to get into our apartment, don't worry though I taped it all back up with packaging tape :) So now we just look white trash. Pray for me to find our keys we really need to find those.

 

I got the package that Nana sent. Tell her thank you. Thank you for the package as well. Whenever I seem to be having a bad day I always get a neat package from you guys. It really helps thank you.

 

Our investigators really feel in limbo right now and we are trying to get them out of it. Training is hard also, I am not a good trainer. It is nice though having Elder Jackson right next to me in Yorba Linda 4th and have him training also. They also give us rides everywhere on P-day because we can't really bike to the grocery store and carry everything home.

 

Things are going good here thank you guys for everything that you do. I love you all.

Hi dad,

 

I miss you a lot dad. That is really cool about ESPN game day. Of course I know who they are also. I remember when they came to the Utah TCU game also. I don't ever want to speak of that game again. Don't worry another game is coming up, on September 15th
I believe is Judgement day for BYU. I am definitely going to be calling members for the score that day ha ha. I live for that game. 

 

I had to buy some bike equipment. I bought a basket for my bike and a bunch of reflecters. A mobile pump and a tire repair kit. I actually like have muscles in my legs now and not just a flat butt anymore. It is kinda weird. I love you dad. Thanks for everything that you do.

 

Love,

Connor

My bike works because I was able to get a good one from the missionary that was going home. He put a lot of money into it so I really lucked out. Elder Healey is a good guy. We get along well. It is different training because I have to explain everything to him and kinda help walk him through the stuff. The mission is so different now. It really does just fly by. At first is was going by super super slow and now I can't believe that I'll be hitting my year mark when I am done training. That is great about Lisa. I am happy that everything went well with that. Thanks for everything that you guys do.

 

Love,

Connor

Hi mom,

Things are going good. My greenie is Elder Healey from American Fork Utah. He reminds me of Daniel Wiseman a lot the way he looks. He is a runner and a really cool kid. I got lucky. Being on bike really really sucks. Our area is on a complete incline so we try to plan our days where we ride up to the top in the morning and just coast downhill from appointment to appointment the rest of the day. That is really exciting about you going to Utah though. You'll have to let me know how that goes. Are you still going to have lunch with Jess? That really means a lot to me.

(This is from mom's letter so the next part of Connor's letter will make sense.) Also, (you will get a laugh out of this), Jaylen said yesterday in Sunday School Parker Trefethen was talking about how on the Nauvoo trip he was just a babe magnet. Jaylen was rolling her eyes, (inside herself). And then he turned to her and said he learned some of his smooth moves from YOU!!!! Then Jaylen paid you a really neat compliment. I was like oh yeah Connor was a player (sarcasm). And Jaylen said, "Yeah, but Connor is just a nice guy to talk to and really fun to be around so I can why Parker said that." We miss you, but know that you are where you need to be and all of us are so proud of you!!!!

That is really funny what Parker said. He is such a little punk ha ha. That is really nice though what Jaylen said also. Tell her thank you for saying that.

So we have five investigators right now. It is really crazy, I have never had that many on my mission before. Elder Healey commited  his first person to baptism this week and he said yes. Eric Teahan is going to be baptized on Aug. 4th. He has been struggling with drug addiction all his life. He is in his 50s now and has been three months clean. He is looking for a change and this is it. He already knows that the BoM is true so we are super excited for him. He is such a neat guy. Tyler is doing well also. His parents might get back together so we are holding off on the baptism until his dad makes a decision on whether or not to split up with her. Other then that I am doing fine. I do need some body soap though and some face wash also. Thank you for the Spider-man goodie package ha ha ha. I really liked that. I love you all so much.

July 2, 2012 (To Dad)

Hey dad!

 

First an Iphone then a mac then an Ipad. Next we are going to have apple tv and then there really will be no more hope for us ha ha. That is really cool about meeting your neighbor.

 

Yeah I remember playing baseball as a kid. I was always out in right field where I couldn't do any damage ha ha. We play a ton of baseball though for p-day now. I am actually getting really sick of it. But it has been pretty fun. Brad (the card shop owner) said that you guys talked to him over Facebook a little bit. That is really cool. We are going to have a little BBQ on the 4th of July with him because no one signed up on our dinner calender that day. I am super excited. So I got to meet another baseball payer. Kenly Jansen, no idea how to spell that. He is the closer for the Dodgers. He is a pretty cool guy also. I'm sending my flash drive with all the pics this week.

 

I was in an earthquake also for the first time. It was only like 5 seconds but it was centered in Yorba Linda. Really cool. Felt like just the whole house and ground was shaking. Nothing really like it.

 

Love you dad
