Hey mom ! It was a pretty good week here in Quincy.  I don't know if I told you last time but I'm

 staying in Quincy for another transfer with Elder Steck ! After this transfer we've spent 1/5 of our

 mission together so i'ts cool. We had a baptism in Portola this weekend and it went good and

 then we had 5 investigators come to church ! We're finally starting to see our success happen

 even though we have a lot of success were actually seeing people progress towards baptism. 

 And then we went up to Bucks Lake this weekend and I dug a big trench to fix a broken pipe

 and I had a lot of fun doing that.  It's way pretty up here and I'm having a lot of fun! This week

 went by really fast and this transfer is going to go by fast. Last Monday we went out to a 

really cool water fall and we had to walk in about 2 miles to get to it because the road still

 had a bunch of snow on it ! and then we walked to the bottom of it and took a few pictures.

   Other than that not to much is happening besides this area is way awesome and the Lord

 is preparing the people here in Quincy ! Have a good week and send some pictures ! 

love you mom

Hey mom ! This week was pretty good out here in California ! It was a lot better than last week by far. 

 It was up in the 85's here and it was super hot ! It felt really nice and we got a ton of work done ! We

 started out going to to Clear Creek for a meeting and then we went on exchanges and my zone leader is 

actually from Tijuana so I asked Jake if he knew him or his dad and we had a lot of fun and then 

we helped an older guy build a green house all day and he was funny and so were going to go

 back and teach him and his family this next week. And then we received a call from our mission 

president that one of our investigators can get baptized !!! She is on probation for some things 

but the mission president sent a letter to the first presidency and when he called us he said

 "Elders, I received a letter from Thomas S. Monson,  and he said your investigator can get baptized!!"

 that made me and Elder Steck super pumped and that'll be next Saturday when we will have her

 baptism.  Then we found a family of 4 to start teaching the Gospel and they are way prepared

 for it ! They are Mexicans but speak really good English and we are praying that they will come into

 this gospel because they are an amazing family and then if they do, a year from now I can go to

 the temple with them!  So please pray for the Cortez family ! This up coming week will be way busy

 and we are going to the temple on Wednesday and then exchanges and a baptism so were going

 to be busy ! I'm grateful to be part of this great work and I'm working really hard everyday to find

 those people who have been prepared and I just have so much charity for the people here ! We

 will be skyping from a member's home next Sunday about 1-2 if his Internet works because the Internet

 in Quincy is terrible everywhere, so hopefully it works!  Anyways have a great week and we will see

 you next week ! love you mom

Hey mom ! Just another good week here in California ! We didn't have a baptism for some certain

 reasons but its alright we're just still working hard and finding those people to teach.  It was a harder

week because I've been trying to work on the Christ like attribute patience and it was tested really

 hard this week with a lot of things but I was able to keep on keeping on so it all worked out.  But the

 week started out we went to go look for a waterfall but wasn't able to get to it because of the 

snow and then Tuesday we went out to Clear Creek and had a meeting and then Wednesday we

 went to Portola for a few lessons and then Thursday we just did some more planning but Saturday

 was a good day.  We went and helped this guy work around his house all day and it was in the 70's

 and I got fried !  It felt really nice and we rolled a lot of big rocks and it felt good just to work hard 

again.  Today we're going out to bike around Lake Almonore with the district and it should be fun 

and then we have two exchanges this week so it'll be a busy week !  Other than that I'm doing 

good and just working hard and it sounds like your doing good ! have a great week love you mom
