Well last week I didn't give you a report, im sorry about that. But things have been going really good. Elder Babcock got and Iron gym and he loves it! He's been getting huge and it makes him happy which makes our companionship happy, plus this california sunshine has been pretty sweet as well! This week wasn't the best of weeks, a couple people that were close to being baptised stopped meeting with us and no one came to church haha and then yesterday i lost the keys to the car, looks like we'll be walking a lot! good news though, i got a haircut and i wasn't going to tell you all but i have been using some hair regrowth stuff and its working well, im getting thicker healthier looking hair (wait am I on a comercial) so thats good for self confidence. THis monday we had a zone activity because are zone wasn't very unified i guess, so we went to play ultimate frisbee instead of basketball but because of the wind we couldnt play haha so we found some random stuff to do it was good to get outside and run around, Except I rolled my ankle, but the work will continue to go forth. Now that i got out all of the negatives I guess we could talk about the good things that have happened. Yesterday we had a really good lesson with a family in the ward, they had five girls in town for spring break from SUU and so we had like fifteen people at the lesson, which made it really fun to teach. We have been able to find some new people to teach which have made it good, it seems like besides Tony the only people we meet with are teenagers, I dont know if thats who i relate to the best or what but pretty much everyone we teach is going to high schol or college it seems. The other day we saw the after math of a pretty bad accident, a car had driven straight into the fire hydrant and water was spraying up in their just like the movies it brings back the realness of how quick something can happen. Ok so i was reading the story of David and Goliath and what a good story like i always new the basics but there were certain events that had never stuck out to me before. What faith that man (boy) had, so much that it wasn't really faith it was a knowledge. I love stories liek that, THere are so many people in the scripures who have similar stories of when they are tested and come through. Its so motivating for me as a missionary to read those stories and to apply them to my life. Im so excited for what the future holds. Im so grateful for the support you all show to me, i thik i get the most mail out of any missionary in the mission, Its so good to have that support. Thanks for being my family and friends I love you all.
