HEY EVERYBODY!

Just another day in paradise here... Burien looks just-- well, gloomy
and dark as usual... haha I couldn't email on president's day cause
the Libraries were closed but it's wednesday! woot! woot!

Yesterday was my first ZZZone CCConference.. so good President Larkin
is a super awesome guy, he's so deep and caring. I love it. He told us
our apartments needed to be cleaned, and we needed to make ourselves
as holy as our callings are. So we cleaned the apartment.. it's almost
shiny, We're cleaning out the rest on next P Day..

Lots of excitement this week, Our on-date John Fitzgerald is meeting
with us consistently and has accepted that he will face opposition in
his quest to 'become one of those mormons' haha He's so great, his
roommate Kevin Peterman, is completely nuts. I love to talk to him. He
tells me the gnarliest things, and often exclaims "I HAVE A MENTAL
ILLNESS! I HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS!" I agree.. he does. haha, OK so I'll
try and put together a bunch of Kevin stories.. but there are so many
I have a hard time telling them all. The work is going really well,
we're getting referrals and help from members that we've been praying
for. I thank you guys so much for all the prayers.. I feel it in the
work seriously. I love everything about this gospel it's so full and
enriching.. I was thinking about the other day where Christ says
"narrow is the gate straight is the way" well.. it's true, we all have
different problems and things we struggle with but- the answer is
always the Atonement and come unto Christ.. in ALL THINGS! wow.. it's
so great.. OK!

So we meet some really nutty people out here a lot.. The other day we
met a guy named Dawn... He looked pretty homeless and was asking for
money to buy soda at the dollar store.. so naturally he followed us
home.. and on the way home he was telling us some pretty intense
stuff.. He went to prison for something.. I think harrassment of sorts
(i'll let your imagination finish that story) he told us he once
wished he could rip someone's teeth out with vise grips.. but that he
shouldn't wish stuff like that because he's not sure if his wishes
come true.. yeah, he's something else. haha-- well.. I love you guys
so much.. I miss you ridiciulously.

I'll post some pictures of my adventures and send you the card in a
few weeks with my Companion.. he's going home after this transferr so
I'm going to be top dog in Burien.. EEK.. anyhow.. I love him and I'm
so glad I got to serve with him.. ALSO! I'm 1/1 in my quest to be
everyone's favorite companion.. he told me himself.. It's touching
really :)

OK Now I'm peacing out.. I love you guys.. keep up the good work..
keep me posted on news and such.. I hear Deron Williams is gone :(
ACK! HOW THINGS CHANGE! .. Oh well.. Love you guys.
