Well not much happened this week...kinda. It was zone conference and we had a visit from the area presidency, Elder Hamula. It was pretty good. He was really smart and in tune with the spirit and knew what he was talking about. He was kind of introducing a new program and approach to missionary teaching that the church wants to implement, i guess the Brethren have been working really hard on this for a while now and they are going to start it in the mtc sometime next year so they have to get everyone that is already out up to date...i dunno....we're assured it is 100% in line with preach my gospel...which i guess was a real fear for some missionaries. But i guess fair enough cause they say to be preach my gospel...I dunno i'm looking forward to it. Elder Hamula also came to lay down some rebukes for disobedience. No worries there cause our zone is the most obedient. We didn't even know that that was a reason he was here until the end and he interviewed a few of us (me included) and told us that. Well that was the highlight of the week i guess. DC looked cool i guess. Well take care love you all. and thanks for writing, jenn.

thank you
Ok, well thank you for all the birthday wishes and the cards. The pirate card was broken and didn't play whatever it was supposed to play...but thank you anyways. i got most of that stuff on friday and the package got to the office today. which we already picked up. The senior sister in the office called us right when it got in. Sister Matuauto, she is samoan but has lived in salt lake for like the last 20 years. anyways it was a good week last week. Elder beck set up a dinner appointment with a surprise birthday cake at the end. that was on thursday. and then on friday we had district meeting with another party and cake at the end of the meeting. Got a card and a tie and a journal from the elders in the district. it was nice...but too much. Still haven't opened the package yet. we came straight from the office to the library but thank you again. We have zone conference tomorrow. Those have actually changed from instead of being once every six weeks to once every 3 months. so this is the first one in a while. well i could probably write some more but small steps....

also you can tell mele and jenn woopdeedoo. big deal. i don't want to talk to them either, like they answer my questions anyways....and looks like i'll be missing out on a wopping 2 emails/letters (maybe 3) for the rest of my mission...MELE!

Well i'm fine really, take care and love you all.
