A Slow week, "Real" letters and a New Companion

Email was short this week, as it was a slow week, but here are the highlights (and there were no pictures this week, so I'm just adding some of the ones from previous emails---Tammy)

This week was slow, so you're not missing much. 

I am getting stamps and I am going to be sending real letters home along with my emails. So yea, tell Mama, Jared and everyone they will get some soon. 

This week was not great, we just had a lot of dropped appointments, but it picked up on Sunday. We still have two with a date, but a lot of the people we taught had other plans. I promise it all worked out and we are back on track. 
I taught like 3 lessons this week so nothing great, but we gave 4 blessings to people and that was really cool. 

My new companion is from Idaho and he is a huge baller and very good (I believe this means he's really good a basketball). He has been out a long time and has 4 months left. His name is elder Robinson and he is great. I am still getting to know him, but he is a life long member who wanted to come out, so he did. This week had its ups and downs as all weeks do, but the guy I am with and the other 2 Elders are really good guys. They are English speaking and the Spanish sisters live in Santa Paula and they are covering Fillmore as well now, so there are only 6 of us in our district because the Sisters are covering both area's now. 

Zone Conference - Feb. 19 

OH MY. So that rat thing, I told Liz (one of the members) and she bought me a stuffed rat as a joke. It was so great. I named him Winston and he sits on my desk. He is all white hahaha. 

Saturday we find out if we are being transferred, then the following Tuesday is when we go to our new areas. I was not sad about being the only one not leaving, just empty haha. But the new guys are so cool, and we are getting along. I am still junior because I am still in my first 12 weeks, which is a form of driving. Senior drives, that's really about the only difference.

Okay to show off a little, so I read 6 chapters a day sometimes more, I love it, I soak it all in hahaha, just yeah, well for you, read as much as you can and MOM make time for the Lord. I know you are, just keep trying, your the best mom, and I love the pictures, so keep it up :). (I mentioned to Kevin that I was going to try to read 6 pages a day so that I can try to keep pace with him....and he's still kicking by butt :) ) 

Shelby had mentioned to Kevin that she got a new iphone this week. This was his answer: 
Please keep going to church, you're doing so well and you're making me so proud and hey, AN IPHONE, DA HECK LUCKY. Well, hey I got Jesus haha so that's all I need....okay that's sounding prideful, so sorry :)
