holy flip! your weekend sounded way better than mine! gosh, i so wish i could have seen that game. could you just picture me screamin and yellin! dang! nice job coltin. way to kick trash. those a re some great pictures. im pretty sad i missed all of that, but look at the bright side, only one more season to miss. i have been thinkin about hockey a ton lately. im gunna miss the youth team. its gunna take some getting used to again when i get back. not that that is anywhere near but thats ok.i got an email from chandler, he is comin on down here to cali as well! i think parker called that one too. i wish he was coming to the riverside mission but hey, you win some you lose some.thanks for the package mom and dad. it was good to get. im gunna start doin those exercises in the mornings. we have been running quite a bit and im pretty much a push-up champion. that is unless elder schenck starts putting his 40 pound weights on my back, then i start slowin down haha. the grateful guitar cd is bomb! i love that cd, i have listened to it in the car a couple of times.it was elder burtons birthday last week so elder anderson and i sent him a card. the card said,"happiness is like peeing your pants. everyone can see it, but only you can feel its warmth" i thought it was a dang funny one. i cant remember if i told you that or not. oh well i guess you get to hear it again.Andre Hill was baptized on the 2nd of march, and confirmed yesterday. it was so great to be able to teach him a couple times and watch him be baptized. we are going to start the new member lessons this week.we have yet another baptism coming up. an 11 year old of a part member family. alan sierra has decided he wants to be baptized so he can go on a mission. his family is being reactivated as well. great to see happen. we also have a couple other potential baptisms this month but it will most likely not go down until next month.so i cant remember if i told you or not about one of our investigators kids. her sons name is tupac and her daughters name is tokyo. haha if i told you that already sorry but i mean come on, who names their kid tupac. welcome to california.things are alright with the new comp. i miss burton quite a bit. their personalities are complete opposites. so that is pretty hard to work with but we are doin work. our homeshare got upset because i guess our closets werent organized? im not sure how much more they could be. got white shirts, suits, pants and ties. sweatshirts up top and shoes on the ground. hmmm. good to know he is checkin the closets though.i gotta give a talk on sunday in the perris ward. elder kidman was really excited about it and volunteered me to talk. so there you have it. as of right now, he has 4 typed pages and continues to work on it. i have a couple hand written lines. im sure glad im goin first. i will make him fill many a minute.so i set a goal while i was in the shower 2 days ago. i decided i was going to finish th ebook of mormon this month. i was in 2 nephi 20. i was planning on finishing jacob yesterday but our meeting with brother hodge took a while. rats. guess i will have to pick up double time. isnt the book of mormon a great book? bet you thought you would have never heard me say any book was good. haha.well i guess that i will head off now. i send my love, thank you for all your support.
