Hi Mom,

MyLDSMail isnt working... again. This time its not even forwarding emails to my gmail account, so i didnt get anybody's emails. This week has been pretty cool. in two ways. its freezing, and we had some good success. Im a little sick right now, but i think ill be over it tommorow. Some random happenings: 1) do you remember John Suhoe(sp?) from the Canoga Park stake? well he is in one of the wards here. it was weird seeing him. 2) I met this member in the Belmont ward who served his mission with Tarrik, his name is Castleton.

So I think Tony is going to be baptized. we couldnt meet with him this week due to some work issues, but he said he fasted about baptism, and said "we have some things to talk about". he sounded pretty excited. We had two investigators at church ,and they seemed to enjoy it. They had great fellowship, which makes it SOO much easier on us.

Also, the guy from service, Scott Carey, dont know if i told you about him. He came to institute, and is way excited to start becomming spiritual again. He was baptized in the church when he was young, and his family is still active, but he never really has been. I am excited to see him grow in the gospel. i think it will be a great help to him.

Thats really it. How is your new job going? how is everybody? i hope everything is alright back home. ill talk to you later! love ya!
