From Vietnam to Oceanside California

Ok so the area change is pretty cool, litterally its like walking out of this little town in the jungle to walking into Oceanside.  Now when I say that its not like this crazy nice place, but like when you are a couple streets up from the beach and their are all those little stores that are a little dirty and its SUPER humid, but still pretty cool.
So yeah I´d say its an upgrade.  

As far as being a Zone Leader goes, its pretty awesome... but at the same time, it can be really stressfull, and SUPER tiring.  Because we are always the first phone call away from President...who calls a lot.  

At least that hyperventilating feeling is wearing off. HAHA.

All the missionaries are really suprised and quite a few were kindof jealous when they heard that I was made zone leader with only 6 months.  I guess that doesnt really happen.  But oh well, I pray a lot to be humble and kind and helping to everyone, although there are times and situations when I have the opprotunity to be kindof boastful, but yes Heavenly Father has answered my prayers and helped me to keep those words in my mouth that shouldnt leave it. HAHA

The area is really cool, we work our rear ends off becuase obviously... we have to be the bar to chase.  

Elder Rojas, is super cool, we get along really well, and he is really glad that I came and talk a lot and show a lot of emotion, because the last Zone Leader just kindof talked when he had to.  

So we have fun and work hard.  We contact about 25-30 people on the street because we have competitions and whoever has the most after 2 or three days buys dinner..  I make sure to win because after Elder Garcia and I payed for a wedding a couple of weeks ago, I really cant afford to buy him carnes asadas haha.  

Friday, we were walking on the side of the highway and President Greer and Sister Greer pulled off to the side of the road and said hi, because there were just visiting, and President said,
"Well I dont have a whole lot to go do tomorrow here, why dont I come work with you guys?"  

Of couse we acted super excited and agreed but we were both freaked out of our minds because President Greer is very stern.

He showed up the other day... Was a total bro! We got a BUNCH done had some great lessons and he was very impressed with us.  It was really fun and we learned a lot, and to be honest wished he worked with us more often.  

Well this letter is getting long.  

Im doing good, tired but good.  I miss everyone but am pretty occupied with the work so dont worry to much.

Thanks for all your emails and prayers, I really feel them and see them being answered here.  

I love you all till next week.
