Hey mom....its another p-day. You know how i said I get bored on p-days...well i change my mind. yeah its funny, i find that Pday gives me a break from riding bike....but it doesnt change my love of teaching and teaching and teaching more. My legs get to rest from the hard jurupa hills that we trek everyday. My legs are getting big again because of all the riding. Elder nash is always amazed to see my calfs every time we. Ive been waiting for the bike to arrive, and i just found out it did. I'll be getting it soon. Ive been using another bike while waiting for mine. just a couple of days ago. I got blinded by these stadium lights and didnt see a pot whole...so i ended up fliping over my bike. Im ok...so dont worry. I was actually laughing while lying on the ground. nothing, broken or brusied...so please dont worry. I was laughing so hard I dont why. anyways. If i need more or anything else i'll tell you. Ive been going good here in fotana in the live oaks ward. Ive met alot of hawaiians here, especially the johnson family. They love me so much....they feed us all the time. My comp is surely loving the spam. I'll send a picture soon that we took of with them. Ive also met people who lived in hilo....so its cool. the ward is really making me feel at home. The lord has open many doors for us....even my companion is shocked that we have been able to get into homes that he and other elders couldnt get into. We did some home teaching with brother johnson one night, and to his amazment we got into alot of his homes which he couldnt do for years. one of those homes was the kukahiko home. They open had open the door and they said hey you from keaukaha. he looked like fransis, but i knew that was the older brother. So we a good nite. I was really happy....he decided to call uncle pat and aunty wanda. to tell them i was in the sistahs home. he asked if i wanted to talk...but being obedient i said no. Im not saying that being hawaiian has gotten us into homes.....but its because of the similarities between the me and the people we meet...the spirit definately directs us to the right places. We have been able to teach more lessons. I know the lord is surely blessing myself and elder nash, and sent me here for a good reason. Im gonna write my letters as always....so i'll tell more in the letter. As for the goody box....what ever you want to send is good with me. I miss having poi...but i know its exspensive. so dont rush to send anything expensive. Can tuna...cuttle fish all of that is good. Just dont send chocolate im trying to stay away from that. im greatful for all the things you do for me. Im glad to hear that dad is teaching again. I know the lord is blessing all of us. Remember to keep reading the scriptures. It has been a great tool for me in teaching our borthers and sisters. Love you mom....and i'll write to you again next week. LOve always,Elder Auna
