I figured the letters were from both of you. Yeah i bought the bike already it was way too expensive but it was the second cheapest bike in the store. I hope to sell it before i leave to get some of the money back or something im not sure yet. The bike is really nice but since this is like a biking state they make you pay for everything. It does not come with a kick stand or anything. Oh and i had to get a mountain bike because the street bikes were all over $800 so i wasn't going to pay that much for it. I love biking though. We have both a car and bikes because our area doesn't have that much miles and if it was up to me i would just make it a biking area but my companion is kinda on the bigger side so i don't think he would like that very much. Everyone bikes here its crazy they even provide a bike lane for all the bikers. I received your talk but i have not had the chance to read it yet i have been really busy which is a good thing i will most likely read it today though. That is awesome that you were able to prepare and present your talk with the spirit by your side. We have a few people that we are teaching but we have the hardest area in the entire mission apparently. Its the lowest batptising mission and its acctually below average right now. We have two people that there is a possible baptism though. They are what is known as eternal investigators though. One does everything right, comes to church and even pays tithing but she has not seen the "light". The other has had 8 bap. dates and two bap. interviews but always falls off the map when its time to be baptised. Our other people that we are teaching just want to prove that we are wrong. Oh and we are discouraged from asking people back home to pray for our people. Teaching is kinda difficult with our investigators but with the member's its great. One way we teach them is ask them to pick 4 random items in the room and we will apply those to certain parts of lesson one its kinda fun. How do you like mom for a companion? That's too bad bout her room. How did Romo get hurt. Everyone here is all about college ball and i have gotten to brag a lil since Texas is #1 and TCU destroyed BYU. It was fun. Oh i have another question for you. Why does it never mention Jesus Christ name in the old testament but it shows up in 2 Nephi? and What is the difference between the years? Ok well ill talk to you next Monday.

It was the second cheapest bike i plan on selling it before i leave the mission. Weather is really nice except nights get really cold. No ocean and no mountains. Look up woodland California. I only got one package so far. Which missionary? Yeah it is 19 just a typo glad you caught it idk if i can receive packages straight to our house so what you are doing is good. I live with members. We have the tiniest room that is smaller than my room at home maybe half the size. we sleep in bunk beds. And we have a bathroom across the hall and a door connecting to the house and that's it. The Larsen's are cool though we can hang out in the living room and their kitchen and stuff so its all good. Love you.
I think you sent this letter twice but its all good love the both of you and tell becca i want to hear from her so tell her to write or e mail me. O and do you want me to write to yall as well or are these e mails enough?
