wow I havent been able to check email for two weeks, sorry I couldn't respond sooner, this is the first pday i've had in two weeks so yeah. Sounds like you had a really good time down in California. that is awesome, I'm glad you had safe flights. How is everyone doing down there? like the Monroes? How is Greg doing? Also I hope you didnt have to deal with bronchitis very long, I remember you said you had it in the letter you sent me. That is a little irronic that I just got the vaccine for bronchitis not that long ago. I'm sorry you caught it tho. I hope you are feeling muh better now. Yeah the Sandiego temple is pretty awesome. And yes I did get to go to the provo temple while in the mtc, twice, its pretty nice. I dont think it is as beautiful as the Portland temple tho. I still think that one is my favorite. And yes the Denver temple is in our Mission but missionaries in the metro area only get to go there. Which bytheway let me tell you about my first area. First we met President Chrisison at the airport along with his wife and the assistant elders. THE DENVER AIRPORT IS HUGE!!!! it only like five years old or something, its really big. and then from there we went to the temple for pictures with President. We took them inside the distrubution center cause that was were that statue is that u will see in the picture that they should've already sent to you. But that was all we got to see of the denver temple. Its kind of simple on the outside, just has one spire with Moroni on top. but then after that the rest of the day was a bunch of orientation and we all went to the Tufts building or the mission office for that. That was a lot of information and sitting down. and we did that all afternoon, then in the evening we all went to The Mission home for dinner and that is were we slept. The next day early in the morning we had a transfer meeting were I found out that out of the eight elders that came in I was the only one being transferred out west. My first area is in this small town called fruita. And it was like a 5 and a half hours of driving but i got to see a lot of the mountains which was cool. My Trainers Name is Elder Rambo haha yeah, but he is a really good Elder and i feel like i am learning a lot from him. We do lots of tracting. And we hardly ever gat any referrals from members. which is not what they said it would be like in the Mtc -_- haha oh well. Looks like i am suposed to get a bike today. I really appreciate the money for buying a bike, and I am going to try and get one for as a cheap as i can. But i gotta go, please write me!
