Oakland!

 here is me and my comp. We do our emailing in the fam history center here below the visitors center

I don't know why he doesn't smile in selfies 😆

MOMMA!!!

So the new transfer is pretty good so far, just a little stressful, so I am a zone leader now which is neat but also more work haha. We had to give a meeting for the zone and President was there this past week and it was so stressful because there isn't like any set way to do it, they were just like, ok ZL's, lets have a zone meeting in a couple weeks, so I come in and that happened ha, but the area isn't so bad(dangerous), it's deffinitely not as bad as Richmond haha. I'm doing pretty well though, we live less than 10 min from the Temple and I think it closes on the 17 of Feb. The closest temple is Sacramento and the mission office will be the same, it's across the street from the temple, and I assume the visitors center will stay open as well, other wise a bunch of sisters are going home haha. So if any and all mail can go to the mission home/office that would be great. Wow thats so cool that Bro McBride is bishop! Yes please apply there (UVU) for me when you can and let me know what I need to do to help, can you apply for scholorships too? I don't know what I qualify for as a white American person though haha. Oh! Something else kind of cool is I may be learning a 3rd language here pretty soon finally, the only problem is its one of the handful of Mayan dialects found in Guatemala and it is super hard to learn! So we'll see if anything sticks, I may need to aquire a dictionary if they have any, the language is different all over the place, nobody really reads it, they just speak it. Well I've only got a couple of photos this week but I'll send them soon. Love you!!!

So these other elders are in our district, the one on the left (elder Mendez) is from Costa Rica and got here last week, the one on the right (elder Mortenson) is from Las Vegas

And now you will see a couple of selfies we took rn with me my comp and the other elders in our district
