That all sounds awesome and like it was a ton of work! Correction. I went to the Newport Beach Temple. We have non investigators coming to church. One came to a baptism yesterday. That was a huge miracle. Thanks for sending the music and stuff!! I love the letter that mom and avery and Zenock sent in the mail a few weeks ago. forgot to mention that. My companion is a robot. He wants to plan and study to help me learn how to be a missionary. I've tried telling him that I don't really need that and that I've already prepared for one. He was a very sheltered kid, and at almost 23 and 15 months out, he still isn't very good at talking to people. He stresses very easily. HE reminds me of Mom, but Mom actually gets things done. I'm trying not to complain, but honestly, we're wasting the Lords time. He constantly wants to replace visiting and contacting potential investigators that we already have on record with planning and/or tracting, which gets us nowhere. He hasn't read the bible, D&C, or P. of G.P. I think President Taggart put me with him more for his benefit than for mine. He's like a little kid. Takes long in the shower, brushing his teeth and getting ready. Takes about 35 minutes. So I cook breakfast for both of us. I usually cook us lunch too, while he takes a 20-30 min. nap. I'm working on building his endurance. The ZL's are in my district. They're awesome. They live a few doors down from us, so we visit them a few times a week. The other companionship is Elder C and Elder U (you cheeta'). U has the funniest laugh and C is awesome. He told me about a story my comps. last comp. told him. They were out knocking and there was a guy standing by a car. Young is socially awkward, so he says, "Hey, you've got a car there." That's what he's like. C has got a good sense of humor. And he's spiritual. good combo.  President Taggart is by the book, but he's not so by the book that he only allows people to listen to music on pday. Trust me. My comp. has it memorized. It's scary. It keeps us from working to some degree. He is literally the most obedient missionary in the mission. He just has no idea how to act. Only to plan. And he listens to music. Story of the week. R. His mom asked us to com over when we were at the neighbors. He's got drug addiction probs. Bad. It has taken away his agency so much that to get him to keep his commitment to pray by himself we had to tell him to kneel down and start praying before we left. Just about out of time. I love you all!!
