So hard week. I almost don't wanna talk about it but..... I will. So pretty much we didn't do a very good job at finding. It is harder to do than I expected and I expected it to be really hard. But in ward council I made my self be bold and I told them all that they were the leaders of the ward and missionary work starts with them. Missionaries can find people on their own ,but with out help from the members there usually isnt success. So if they aren't helping or giving us referrals then the members of their Quorums will be less likely to give us names. So in the end I challenged them all to give us name in the next week. I know that missionary work can be scary but Elder Ballard challenged every individual to introduce a non member to the gospel by Christmas and if we all do that then we will be blesses.

Any way the reason I didn't email on Monday is because a general authority came to the mission and talked to us for the whole day. It was rad.It was a 70 by the name of Elder Teh... he is super Asian I like him. He told us A LOT of stuff that I needed to hear. After it was over President Sweeney came up to me and told me that Elder Teh wanted to meet with me. So yeah that was pretty sick I didn't know what to expect but he just wanted to know about my family and how I liked being in Arizona and I told him about my week and how he answered a lot of my questions in the meetings. Yeah he's a cool dude! Look em' up!

How is my fatty (Bower) still suuuuuper fat. How is billings. Billings has to make an appearance at my homecoming party so keep in touch with his new owners. Matt. Is Sampson still bad? I miss those stupid Fish.... its weird. Courtney I got both of your letters yesterday... you'll get one in a few days. I wrote Jack a letter this morning hahah well its addressed to him anyway...its mainly for Adam...all but the first paragraph.

Happy cause one of these days I'll make it down to the valley and eat some whataburger.... but I was straight up livid because IT'S A TEXAS THING. they also have bluebell........UGH so yeah ha.
