Thanks for the info,I will probably call and inform the mission office of the changes as soon as i get done with email. I hope that everything goes smoothly this week. I probably wont get any mail unill zone conference tomorrow and since I know the new adress I will probably reply straight there.
We had a really interesting week this week we flat out told ******* and ###### that their respective churches have no athority, and I recited my line of athority and Elder Braford has his on a card which he showed to both of them. Although it may be the truth I almost feel like we are totally trashing another church whose intent is to help people and i dont like doing it.
On the bright side we set a baptismal date with %%%%%%%% yesterday! I have been put at ease about @@@@@@@@@@@. One of the guys in the singles ward told Elder Braford and I over dinner that there were three types of missionaries in his mission hard workers, slow workers, and people who didnt work at all. Ring a bell?
love you more than opening a fresh can of tennis balls

23rd Letter from California
Well, first and formost, I am staying here in Vista for at least the next six weeks, and I am still working with Elder Braford. Lets just say he was mildly annoyed because this is his second five transfer (seven and a half month)area in a row.
We picked up a new investigator last thursday that is rock solid. Her name is @@@@@@ we have taught her the first two lessons. Her roommates are a recent convert, a returned missionary and an investigator that the sisters are teaching. How much more ideal can you get!?! She came to church last week, on mother's day and she came to *******'s baptism.
I got the journal paper isnt it ironic that you found it under a bed. I survived my first earthquake on Sunday!! It was a 5.0, the epicentrer was in Larson California if remember right. I believe that is somewhere south of us. It was kind of funny we were at ********'s house having a lesson on the preisthood,which he will recieve next week. Then all of the sudden we feel the apartment shake and ****** just casually mentions an earthquake just happened, and hops on the computer to get the statistics.
The reason I havent replied to any dear elders you may have sent is once it gets to the week before transfers they hold everyones mail at the mission office until transfer meeting where it is picked up by the elders that are affected by the transfer and brought back to those of us who are staying in the area. I have discovered somnthing rather intresting in the apartment we have Book of Mormons in Persian and Russian in our apartment. I think how they got there is some one requested it and then the missionaries were unable to get in touch with them after words. The same thing happend to me in Fallbrook so they have a French Book of Mormon sitting in the closet just in case. Elder Braford also found a Chinese hymnal. The cool thing abouth that is it has the proununcation written out in english on the page next to the hymn.
love you more than pomagranate smoothies,
Chris
