herro family!
Candace! i got a picture of brady! (mom said she stole it) he looks just like you! he seems so cute! that is so weird you have a baby but at the same time I feel like you've been a mom for awhile. Mom, thank you for the box. haha A LOT of candy. My companion is really enjoying it. and i loved the letter. Mel, the pictures went to my last area but my old companion is sending them. and appearantly james mack wrote me too! i cant wait to get it.
So one week in North Hollywood down! It is definitely different over here. So i love being on bike. (btw i changed my bikes name to bethany) i dont know why but i felt like i needed to. ANYWAY! yea i love bike. Its so much better than car because its not just driving from appointment to appointment but now i can talk to more people along the way! i love that. And our area is smaller which i love so now we can kind of focus more on a specific spot. It has been crazy hot. over 100 like everyday. haha so... this area is...dead. yea, its completely dead. We have some investigators but their not that into it. yesterday my companion and I went through the investigaotrs and we decided we kind of need to start new. Start this area fresh. haha but thats ok, im excited! i love finding. Because knocking in spanish work is actually really affective. i mean dont get me wrong refferrals are much better but knocking works. and its fun! Its going to take some time and a lot of work like my last area but it will be good. Were going finding for those who the Lord has already prepared. i know their out their, we just need to find em! Kind of like what happened in my last area. So, we've got a lot of work to do! My companion doesnt love to knock but we went a couple times this week. It was great. We found some nice people and had some great lessons.
So my companion is Elder Shepard. i have no idea how to explain him. haha hes great. i love him to death. Really funny, corky guy from utah. I think were going to have a lot of fun together. So we live with these really nice members. We have like our own little house thing. Its great. The ward here is amazing. A really nice ward who are really active in missionary work. btw family, help out the missionaries cuz they need it and it helps soooo much! but the ward is so great. It was hard for me to move on though. This week i was pretty homesick for El Camino Real. haha wednesday night it just kind of hit me how much i missed them and i was soo sad. haha but its ok, im good now. i just love those people so much. but these people here seem great too. And like i was saying they are all so active in the missinoary work, always willing to come out with us and help out. Pretty much all of them are converts of just a few years and they just love bearing their testimonies and are so excited about it. its amazing. Its weird going to a new area, meeting new people. i kinda feel like a new missionary again. And there is an elder in my new district that i knew from byu so thats kind of funny. He's been out for a lot longer though, hes almost dead.
So yesterday i saw elder Souza! he was my MTC companion for awhile but got transferred early. i hadnt seen him for about 7 months, since the mtc but it was great seeing him! And it was awesome cuz now we can actually speak spanish. haha in the mtc not at all so it was so fun seeing him again.
So i dont have as much time but i hope all is well ! thanks for writing and keep the writing coming! i love hearing from you! Love you all so much!
Love, Elder Foulger
