Well family! I bet you didn't think you were getting an e-mail from me this week. But here I am! Our p-day got changed because we went to the temple today-and that turns into p-day. In answer to your question mom, we used to go to the temple every transfer, but the change is that we now go every other transfer, and yes, you also go the weekend before you leave. It was wonderful to go, as always!

Let's see, what new and exciting things happened this last week? People seem to still be "vacationing" a lot so appointments sometimes happen. That's alright. We're not really teaching anybody new. We did quite a bit of tracting last week. I realize that sometimes you knock doors just to show the Lord that you're willing to work hard, and then you end up being blessed indirectly from that. But nothing seems to be happening yet. Luckily I actually enjoy knocking on doors (you never know what kind of person is behind the door) so we will still be knocking as much as possible.

David M is kind of in the same place currently. Not progressing as much. Something's holding him up. I guess when it comes down to it, he might not have a testimony or belief in Joseph Smith or the restored gospel. Hopefully we can help him out a little with that. We were able to teach the Inman family again well that is Dana, the non member wife. We gave her a Book of Mormon and I truly believe she'll read it. We have great hopes with that family. And we have some others who have potential.

I don't remember if I ever mentioned Priscilla. The Spanish elders had found her and passed her to us. After we met with her the first time and committed her to be baptized, she disappeared. But we went to her house the other day and she was there. She said she's been meaning to call us and even her “delinquent” son told her she should "call the Mormons" but she never did. She's just going to be a looooong process. She feels its right, but doesn't seem to be willing to keep her commitments and do her part. We'll see. If she's not progressing, well there are others that will!

Last week we got a hold of this kid of whom we had received a referral that his dad has requested a Book of Mormon for him. He's probably like 17. When we went to his backyard to talk to him, he was sitting there with his two buddies. One kid goes, "Hey, do you want to “blaze” it with us?" because that's what they were doing: "Just kickin’ it and blazin’." I think that's the first time I've been offered weed on my mission. Kind of funny. But although they were a little stoned, the referral kid did have some potential. Hopefully...

Zone Conference was good last week. Elder Cordova shared lots of funny stories about experiences he's had with the general authorities. He's an animated story teller. The President and the APs talked to us a lot about how knocking at night is effective and how knocking doors is something that is never going to go away. True. It was a combined zone conference so the majority of the sisters were there; It was really fun to see the sisters, since we're kind of up here alone mostly.

Hmmm, mostly that was my week. Everything is going great! Is everyone still enjoying their summer? Only about a month left of it! Love you all!
