March 13

It was a great week this week. We picked up 3 new investigators this week. One is so ready . We just need to get them wedded. She reads the Book of Mormon every night. Hr boyfriend is a non active member and they have been living together for 7 years. He just needs to get his priorities straightened out. It seems weird to me that people can do that. If your going to live together just get married. We are ordained ministers and my comp offered to marry them but they said they would think about it. ha ha
That is great about Brady. Just make sure he reads the Book of Mormon himself and has is own testimony. He needs to study and know for himself. He will be a better missionary if he has a testimony before he leaves.
The members are still feeding us really well we had a St Patricks Day Feast last night corned beef and cabbage. I love the corned beef. The members are still great at getting us people to teach. I love the people in California.
I love you

This was a good week well kind of. The good new is my new comp. is amazing He is a super hard worker and We have the trust of the Lord with us. We are busy doing his work and we will be blessed because of it.
Well here is the bad news remember last week when I told you about my ticket well I got the news and it is 480 dollars for the ticket. Sorry to ask so much I feel terrible about this. I need to pay the ticket so I dont end up in jail.
My comp is all about working out he loves to run every morning that means I have to run also. I have shin splints and it dosent help that we ride bikes all day. Up and down hills.
I still feel so bad about asking for so much. I hope it is ok. Thanks for everything.
I love you all
