howdyhey everyone... so its 2:00 here and we just got back from the temple and then we went and played basketball for a long time.. it was so good to be able to get a nice exercise.. the temple was great. Elder Fauvell and i went to the early morning session at 5:30 with our ward mission leader and so we were done by 7:30.. anyways it was good to be able to go to the temple again.. oh the other day we were walking and a ward member picked us up and we were talking and i guess he is a brother in law to Ben & Michelle Casper's oldest girl.. so it was way good being able to talk to someone that was familiar with back home... umm monday we had zone confrence and the whole metro area gathered together so there were about 110 Elders and sisters.. but we did it like taht this time because Elder Shumway of the 70 came and spoke to us. I enjoyed it so much.. i thought it was gonna be really boring sitting still for 4 hours but there were quite a few people that spoke for the first 2 hours and then Elder Shumway took up the last 2 hours.. it was so great, i felt the spirit really strong while he was talking.. its so cool to see how they are in real life, like there personalities.. he was making all sorts of jokes and just being a normal person.. haha.. so i loved Zone Confrence.. our next zonce confrence will be july 9 or 10 and we are going up to the mountains and were going to camp for a night! so that will be way cool being able to get away for a little bit.. the weather here has been kind of weird it has been over cast and kind of misty the whole week up until today.. overall i have been doing better since last week this time but things are going pretty good.. im starting to feel more and more comfortable every week.. but i have a hard time thinking baout how i have 20 months left, so hopefully i can forget about time and enjoy myself.. anyways i hope all is going well for all of you.. i keep you in my prayers and i love you all so so much! take care and keep in touch! i love getting letters from y'all! :) Love Elder Randy Anderson
