Dear Family:
This week has gone by super fast!!
Monday we had a good P-day. Went to this store called "Active".
I guess it is just a Southern California store. Anyways you remember that brand
called Altamont this is normally just weird stuff? I found a cool shirt from
them so I bought it. Other than that we just kinda messed around all day.
Tuesday and most of this week it was at least 70 degrees. It
was weird.. we had district meeting. After that we helped Elders Fesit &
Justice with some service. We got a pool house ready for an Elder who was
coming back for his honeymoon. I found out it was for Elder Hanks. I'm not a
huge Elder Hanks fan. He is the elder who was in the Fruitvale Ward before Elder
Allen and I got there. I thought about leaving a few notes, but I didn't.
We did get to take an adventure in a old super creepy bomb shelter. Logan
canceled so we didn't get to meet with him.
The Bomb Shelter. Camera quit when I got inside - No Photos
Wednesday was pretty boring. Nothing too exciting.
Thursday was pretty crazy. We had a lesson with
Veronica and some of her family. I didn't turn out that well. We had Sister Brown
and her daughter meet us there to sit in and listen. The second we opened
the door we all knew something was up. I'm sure it was drugs. We didn't know
that would be a problem, but It didn't surprise me. We went in and Veronica
told us a ton of stuff we didn't want to know. I was embarrassed the Browns saw
the whole thing go down. The lessons there are normally so awesome!! We
de-briefed them and they were fine. It was actually good they were there
because they understood a lot more what she said than we did. After lunch I got
a call from the Sisters cuz they couldn't start their car. Their key wouldn't
turn. I figured their steering wheel turned and locked and stuff so I told them
to turn it and turn the key at the same time. It worked... Sister Missionaries!
haha. Had a lesson with Jacob and Jordan again. I understand a lot better when
Mom talks about teaching two very different levels of her Kindergarden
students. It is hard to appease both sides equally. I got the family letter
that day. I about died when I read the part about dad running out of gas! I
could not stop laughing! My comp thought I was crazy. I just want you to know I
always keep the cars I drive over a quarter tank. Except for a few random
times. Hopefully one of those times isn't while you are driving haha. Something
I forgot to tell you about that happened in the middle of the day I got another
job offer. A lady called me who I gave my number to. She said she lives in
Murrita and has an office in Murrita and Temecula and other places (so in other
words she is rich). I explained to her how a mission works and stuff.
Friday we gave out a lot of Christmas party invites. We went
and saw all the people we hadn't been able to catch the last few days. We ate
dinner with a part-member family and had a good lesson after.
Lost!

A photo Jason and his friends photoshopped of 3 of the 4 Wood brothers
Sunday at church I lost a good dinner thought. One of the
bishopric used it in his talk, so I pretty much can't use that one anymore in
this area for a while. Nothing too exciting happened. Sorry this is a short
letter. I didn't really have a whole lot to say. Oh btw way yes I know E.
Gordon. I know him well enough I knew his brother was a sales rep. That is cool
you met him. He flew in with me and we served in Riverside together. He is an
ASL missionary so he will leave a transfer before me. Well that's all for now!!
talk to you at Christmas!! love ya!
