Dear Family:
Whoops!!......Well you guys are going to be upset with me!
it is 5:52pm and I have dinner at 6 so I don't have long to write a letter! It
has been a crazy day ha. We spent a long time at P-day activity and then Elder
Spencer wanted to go to the mall here in Riverside. We ended up being here all
day cuz this mall is sick! I am used to the one in Hemet though with only 4 or
5 stores. it probably isn't any better than some of the ones in Utah. That and
it took forever to get a library card. Everything is awesome here. This probably
would have been one of my longest letters I have a ton to talk about. To
shorten it up I am in the Canyon Crest Ward in the Riverside Stake. Check out
its boundaries and then look at it on Google Earth. I cover the north side from
Central down to Allesandro. It is one big hill. Look at Canyon Crest Street and
you will probably be able to see what I mean. My suspicions were right about
what needs to be done in this ward. We have no investigators and nothing has
been done in this ward for a while, just like my last area. I am ok with that
though, keeps me working hard. Missionary work is different here though. This
is a super nice area with a lot of money. In Hemet I could pick up a
investigator on the street every day if I tried hard enough. Right now we are
trying hard for referrals and part member families. I like it here though. Well
that is all I have time for this week. I got to see Jessie Jorgensen on Tuesday,
he is in my mission now. I will tell you
the story next week it is kinda funny. Sorry for the short letter, I will make
up for it next week. Love ya bye!
