You
may be wondering why I put one of your childhood friends up as the
title, but, when I went to dinner Saturday, there was a group of
members there that said they were from Sunnyvale and on a temple
trip. I said, "You may know my cousins, the Augasons!" They
did and we were able to talk and Allyson said you two were close
growing up. Also, that same dinner, I was able to see my recent
convert from Oakland, Tasha! I was amazed! Union City is out of her
way, but we saw each other there. I almost wanted to give her a hug
but I can't -.- Anyway it was a great dinner! :D
My
new companion, Elder Edwards, is an exact replica of who I used to be
before I became Zone Leader. In some ways I like that, but in other
ways it bothers me. But we’re getting along well.
Thankfully,
we have been able to stay out of most of the rain. I love the rain so
much though! It was great to have it over here after not seeing it
for so long. I just feel sorry for the sister missionaries who are on
bikes. Thankfully, they love the rain too so they don't mind. I'm
glad it isn't freezing or getting any snow. I enjoy wearing short
sleeves and feeling the sun too much!
We
have Zone Conference every 3 months or so. We get over to San
Francisco when we go to Zone Conference, but that's the only time.

[Open Your Mouth] advice; I trust you, I don't know what to say. What
we do is try to first be their friends but I think you have that
covered with them! Just know that what ever they say can relate to
the gospel which can help them. Find what they need and make sure you
leave with a commitment that will help them with that. Just make it
natural. If you think it’s going to be awkward then it will be, but
if you talk naturally, then it can be fun!
Hope
you have a great week and stay warm! :D
Love,
Elder
