I'm going to start off by asking for some things (sorry, before I forget). Could you send another CD? maybe like the new world symphony by dvorak or something? We spend tons of time in the car here because of traffic, etc. {How has food preparation going?] I haven't been able to get to most of those recipes. They either require ingredients that are too expensive or too much time to cook. I really only get about 40 minutes for dinner. I have to go back home, cook, eat, and then be back in the area all within an hour. Also could you have them send me my soccer training pants? It is pretty cool here in the mornings. Thanks for the planets cd gem! We have listened it to death already (way better than some of the other stuff missionaries listen to). The day after we got it we had a training follow up meeting and the mission president was there. His wife had to leave early and took the car so he asked us for a ride to the dealership to pick up his where he was getting work done. He heard about 3 seconds of Venus and goes "the planets?!" and then talked about how it was his favorite thing to listen to on his mission. Since the mission office is in our area, we see his face a lot. He came to our branch unannounced on Sunday and laid the smack down on the branch and told them how the members need to get involved more. We shop at Target normally because it's the closest. There are gay rights people who campaign in front of it every day and they tried to talkt to us so we just pretended that we didn't speak English...works like a charm cause hardly anyone else here does either! I am tempted to share Alma 8:19 with a member and see what they say...We are probably going to drop that family. The daughters are interested, but the dad knows the book of mormon is true already and just isn't willing to do anything. Anytime we tell him anything he comes up with an excuse not to. We go to a laundromat and I just ran out of all the quarters you gave me. I have to go but I will keep you posted!
> Our mission president gave a talk to us about the Lord hastening his work this week. [Where town did you visit for the Peace Corp last spring?] I was way up on the Pacific coast on the Nicoya peninsula close to a town called nandayure. [What soccar shirt did you want me to get you when I am in England?] The team is arsenal. Their logo has a cannon on it and the jersey is made by nike. Their jerseys are red with white sleeves (I'm pretty sure about the sleeves). I can't remember their away jersey this year, but I think it's purple? You could also buy me a hereford jersey if you want. They're a team in like the third or fourth division (i.e. semi-pro-ish) that has a nice big cargill logo on their jerseys. I found what I call the california scripture the other day. I think it's 1 Timothy 4:3 or something like that, but it talks about people not getting married and being vegetarian and I laughed. We are still here, at the very least for another transfer. We have 2 committed to be baptized on november 17, but one we are giving to the english elders because we teach her in spanglish with mostly english. Also, she is a recovering drug addict in a really tough situation and our branch is simply not capable of giving her the support she needs. We got a blind guy to commit as well, but his family refuses to help him get to chruch, activities, etc.
