Sounds like this week has been good! Hey, what’s Zander’s address, so I can write him?

Just send me pictures of my friends and family and any other pictures that look good.
Tell Nick I say “Hi” and thanks for the CDs.

K- You won’t guess what happened this week. Well, I think I all most got kidnapped. Yeah, it was crazy! We went by a referral that we got and talked to a guy there. He wasn’t interested, but, his brother somewhat was. But, he didn’t want to read the Book of Mormon. So, it was pointless. We finally got in our truck and drove away. All of a sudden, we heard honking. It was the guy that didn’t want to read the Book of Mormon. He wanted us to pull over, so we did. He asked us if we listen to rap music. We said “yeah, sure.” Then he said “alright come in the car and listen to this. It’s really good.” So, we parked the car and went over. We first just had our heads in the car listening to it. Then he started saying “Sit in the car. U can hear it better.” So we did, with our feet out of the car and the doors open. The lyrics were actually really good. It was talking about the armor of God and how Satan can’t stop us. We sat there listening and we both noticed that he was jittery (shaking) like when u are really nervous or scared. We asked him why he was shaking. He said it was from carving wood all day. Yeah, sure!? He finally asked us if we could go take a ride with him. We said “no” and got out of the car, and that was it. It was so weird!!! Before, he didn’t want to talk with us, and all of a sudden, he pulls us over and wants us to take a ride with him? Yeah, it was weird!

This week has been pretty good! I found out a new way to teach the Plan of Salvation. It’s so cool! You have everyone close their eyes and you basically ask them questions that make them think about their life, and what they are becoming. It’s way cool!

Yeah! Ocean side is alot cooler than Temecula. It’s actually been pretty cold at night when were contacting.

It’s weird, when I got to ocean side all the letters stopped from my friends. I haven’t gotten any except one from Teri about her graduation. It was good to hear from her!

Thanks for everything u have done I love you guys!!

PS - Tell Tay thanks for writing me back. Gees! He takes for ever!!! and Adam and Joseph, when do they leave for the MTC?
