Hola!!

Thanks to Danielle, the Deatons, Noel, and Adrienne for the letters!! Also, thanks to all the Young Women back home that made the poster! I thought it was pretty funny!!

I just got back from the dentist! The mission president's wife, Sister Mullen, drove me down to Lake Elsinore, which is about 40 minutes away! The dentist checked out my mouth and jaw, and told me that I should basically wait for 3-4 more weeks and see if the pain improves and if not, he can make a mouth-guard thing for me to use at night. That wasn't really what I had been hoping to hear! Hopefully I can recover over the next few weeks! It's hard because I want to work hard but I have a headache all the time! And there's not a whole lot I can do about it.

Things have been going alright with Elder Bangerter. His personality is so different from mine that it's sometimes a little hard to get along. I'm more quite and reserved. I like to keep to myself. Not Elder Bangerter! Haha he doesn't quite understand what "personal space" is! The nicest way I can put it is he has no problem making himself feel at home! For example, he is a little obsessed with musicals. And I have the sheet music for Les Miserables and Phantom. So Elder Bangerter just goes and takes my music and plays it! If he would ask me first, I would have no problem with it! Ugh well that's enough complaining! Haha I honestly do like him! He's really nice and understanding! I knew at some point I had to have a companion that I didn't get along with, though! 

I haven't heard from Elder Taylor, yet! I was going to email him today and see how he is doing! I have heard from other people in the ward that he's talked to already! I'm not sure if he's had surgery yet or not!

So last time, there were a few questions you asked me that I totally forgot to answer and I have felt guilty all week!! I'll try and answer them now :)

Alfredo's mom's name is Maria Galvez and her address is...

You asked if hearing that you miss me makes it hard.. I don't think it makes being away from family any harder or easier. I know that I miss you guys a lot!

We taught Matthew this week about the temple and why they're so important! He's a really smart kid! He seems to already understand most of what we teach him. His mom said that the trip to Hawaii when he's going to be baptized has been pushed back to September now. 

We also taught Mark! We had dinner at Sister Budica's house (again) and she offered to let us have the lesson at her house. We watched the Mormon Message: Waiting on Our Road to Damascus, and talked about taking small steps of faith! He said that he will try and make small steps by reading and praying every day. He called us a few days later and said that he had received some revelation! He decided to go back to the Catholic church because it's "easier". Hopefully he'll realize what he's missing out on and will reach out to us again soon!

We're helping Terry quit smoking! We went through a lot of trouble to get all the supplies he would need for the program we had and even invited a senior missionary couple to come with us! When we sat down to teach Terry, he was not interested AT ALL in our program we had! He wants to do it his way... He's actually been doing pretty well. He's gone from 20 to 2 cigarettes a day which is awesome! We've started teaching him, too! Hopefully he will be ready and willing to get baptized soon!

This week has been pretty slow. We didn't find anyone new this week! But there is actually an older couple who has been coming to church the three weeks that aren't members! We met them yesterday and they seem really interested! Hopefully we will be able to meet with them soon! All of their children are members. We met their son a few weeks ago when he came to visit from Utah!

Well I don't have much else to say.. I love you all and miss you lots! I pray for all of you every day!!

Love,

Elder Warren
