Mom and dad,
Dad - happy fathers day yesterday - look for something in the mail today or tomorrow - I love you!
Clean apartment award... thats right... :) haha
Im super jealous of your trip - it sounds like you had an amazing time. I'll start right in with my week.
6-14-11 Tuesday
Sister Kershner who just moved into the ward, just moved out. We spent the morning helping her pack her things - there were some complications and she had to go back to Montibello - sad story. We ate lunch with a really rich guy from Palos Verdes - he saw us the other day and set it up. He's LDS and made of money. That was fun. Having a car is way nice, the hills have no effect on us anymore - imagine that. Lucinda got an answer to her prayers while we were there - she felt 'shivers' and will be baptized shortly.. 83yrs old.

We had our first few appointments fell through - I got out my sunglasses, finally to wear them in the car after so long of not having them, and crushed them in the seat. Bummer. We ate dinner with sister smith and talked with the Schillings - they're the really old one's form indonesia and holland. They're really funny. We had a long talk on the phone with Shawn - a truth seeker - I'm learning so much about the bible between her and Jesus The Christ. It's been great.

We watched the restoration again today with Billy. She still doesn't remember everything we've taught her - its a tough situation. We did some planning and wen to eat with the Andrades to the Gourmet Food Trucks. It was really neat - i'll send some pictures soon. We saw T.A. - his talking is coming along. We gave him some tabacco tea to help him quit smoking - hope it works.
6-17-11
We had our trainings today with the Zone on How to begin teaching. It went pretty well - they seem to be getting shorter and I seem to be getting more out of them. We met with Lucinda again today - we read in 3 Nephi and she promised to come to church this week. We got kicked off some property as well, that was a treat.

Yes, It is true, I and my companion were chosen to receive the Good House Keeping Award. We drove down to Santa Monica and ate lunch with President and Sister Baker. Be proud ya'll; this Elders' a clean one. We mananged to contact a referral afterwards and then saw Miss Auberry - she gave us her homemade fried chicken and some "green". plus some corn bread. It was just like being in Mississippi again. We visited a man that was baptized and has amnesia - he doesnt' ever remember going to church. It's really sad, but he does recognize the spirit.

Happy Fathers Day!
We had a great lesson/dinner with the Parkes family - they're getting ready to serve a mission soon and had a lot of information for us. We talked to a less active member and set up a solid appointment with her - she really wants to come back to church.
Well it was a pretty good week - we're getting alot more done now that we have a car. Eddie has a baptismal date for July 10th and we've almost got Lucinda... keep prayin for her. I love you all
