First off... I am sorry, I forgot my camera, so no pictures. I had some good ones too! I got a flat tire on the way this morning and I was just freaking out about being off schedule -- Elder Ma Chee has a lot to do, and I want to play basketball at 2:00 today.... This week has been so cold. We are starting to walk at nights because it is too cold to ride bikes! This could easily be a walking area if we plan everything right. I even caught a cold this week, but I am getting over it. So, the picture of Uncle Matt and Maggie in the pool made me really jealous since I am totally freezing to death right now!
So, let me tell you about my week. It has been fantastic. I picked up Elder Ma Chee at the mission office and got to go the the mission meeting with him where they tell him all about the mission, and have lunch with them. Our new mission president, Elder Hudson was there and he was just watching the whole show and everything because he was just 3 days in the mission! I miss President Kezerian already!!!! I am having withdrawals! I know it will be okay though! President Hudson is a really good guy, and I can't wait to see him in 3 months after learning everything!
Elder Ma Chee and I are getting along great! He is a really chill, down to earth elder from Samoa! He spent a lot of time with the Elders before the mission so he has hit the ground running. He is already teaching and talking and acting like a missionary. It is awesome! He is the MAN! I love him. I am so happy that I get to be his trainer. I love training new missionaries.
We have really gained a love for our area this week. I have been really focusing on getting to know the members and asking them for help in the work and asking for people they know that we can teach and visit. It has been fantastic! Yesterday, (Sunday) we also got a new ward missionary leader called and we talked with him and he is so on top of it! He was telling us that everyone we teach must be in a members home! No excuses! So this is going to be really a fun next couple of weeks. This has been the most golden ward that wants to help with missionary work! We also got to visit with the Bishop and he gave us some names to go see and they were just awesome visits! I am really looking forward to this week. We have appointments to go to and the work is moving forward like I have never seen before! I love doing this missionary work. I love this gospel so much!
I love you so much!

P.S. I don't know if you are planning on sending me another package, but I could really use a couple of the non-wrinkle shirts. Mine are getting worn out and they have lost their non-wrinkle status. I have to iron every morning, and I hate it. At least send me one, so I have a nice shirt to come home in. It doesn't really matter, but it would be nice.
