Another Week Already

First off, my 09 Malibu would smoke your four-banger '10 Corolla any day, Devin. The Malibu is hecka tight compared to a girly Corolla. And, I will shortly be riding in an Aerial Atom (I'm not sure if that's how they spell it) which is basically one of the fastest out-of-factory street legal cars in the world (I've learned a ton about cars since becoming companions with E. Hansen). A member in the new ward that we just picked up has one and he gives the missionaries rides occasionally.

Now that's out of the way, how has everyone's week been going? : ) I'm starting to wonder if summer is ever going to get here. We've had probably two hot days in the last little while and compared to how hot it is supposed to be right now they weren't even that bad. We haven't hit 100 yet (thankfully) and each weekend it seems like more clouds keep coming in. Last year at this time it was already up in the high 90's so I'm not really complaining. The weather is awesome, especially since we ride our bikes so much. My theory about the weather this year is that the reason it has rained so much and been so cool is that God is gearing up for the worst burn season in California history. Either California is going to be swallowed up by the ocean or the whole state will be on fire. Or maybe I'm going to get struck by a bolt of lightning...

Yesterday, our zone was invited to play soccer with a group of YSA members from the area for P-day. It felt good to get out and run around and do something physical. Our P-days for the last few weeks have been rained out. We had a lot of fun, but at the same time it was kinda weird being there. I really haven't interacted much with other people my age at all on my mission. Most of my age group are either working, going to school, or on missions. Now that I'm serving in a city area, they don't have to go as far away to do all those things. It felt strange to just spend time with my peers in a relaxed environment where we weren't doing any proselyting. I guess that's what happens when you are a missionary.

I don't have much to update you on right now. Our past week was slow. People are super busy right now with the end of school and the beginning of summer. We haven't been able to meet with the Millers for a while. The Tanners went out of town for the weekend. Paul has been sick, but he's still doing great. He's going to be moving home to St. George in about a week where he's planning on getting his life back on track. We exchanged information with him yesterday because he wants to hook up with me sometime when I get home. He's a great guy and I am totally hoping that everything works out for him.

Well, I think that's about it. Oh! Before I forget for the 4th week in a row: is there any way to get my suit pants replaced? They are starting to get pretty thrashed. I could really use another pair of my olive green suit pants if it's possible. I don't know if they have a record or something of my sizes and style etc. at Mr. Mac or not. Let me know.

Hope everyone has a great week. Pray for missionary opportunities and then follow through when they present themselves! Thanks for everything and remember to be mighty!

Love,
