FIRST WEEK IN CALI

First Week in California
Hey everyone ,
I'm having a good time here my comp is Elder Manzara I dont know if i spelled that right. About my apartment it is ok except the toliet. I dont think its ever gotten cleaned. Yeah I know if I care and noticed its bad,
Its been about in the 70s all week. Which is very nice and way better than Utah.
We get the car about 1/2 the time. Which is nice. It's nice to have a break from the bike. The hills suck but I'm getting used to the bike and riding it.
Ok cool story we were tracting around the appt complex because we were white washed. Which means that there are not any other missionaries close by and its only us over here. So we are both new 2 the area. We found Marnda Buck (no relations to Jason) and when we got to teach her, We found out she is golden. She went to the Barnes and Noble and bought a BOM after our first discussion, and has already started reading it. We didnt have to tell her to, and she came to church
We also got run out of the appt complex by someone calling us a cult. Yeah but out on the street we found Eric. Who needed help. Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways. We had to get thown out to find him We were able to teach him a little, but he didnt come to church this week oh well. So thats my story for you all.
The Mission President said something about not being able to change the package address. He said 1st class or priority US mail only.
Sounds like you are all having fun. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you. I'm in OceanSide

Stay Classy
Love Elder Schmidt
