Hi Dad.
It's nice to hear from you. I'm glad everything is going alright at home. That's sad to hear about Red. I hope she gets better fast!! That's great to hear that Duff's is doing better. I hope they can take advantage of all this new space and upgrade some stuff.
Haha oh Elder Holmquist had to milk it. (Note: Aaron's companion has a cow at home). He has his siblings doing it for him now, but they are selling the milk for money. Elder Holmquist says he needs it.
The ward is great here. Redlands is a really nice town, but there are so many different churches here it's insane!! It is really hard sometimes to even get to talk with anyone. They all say they are not interested or they are happy with the church they have now.
It was crazy to tell the difference between the rich people in my area, and all the friendly Spanish people when I went on an exchange with the Spanish speaking elders. Although I couldn't understand anything they said I really enjoyed it.
Well the Garza family is doing well. They are still taking the lessons and luckily there was a member family that moved in about the same time they did, and they live two houses apart. They both moved in around January. Both families have 3 children all around the same age. I hope they can fellowship the Garza family. Things look promising!
Well everything is going great, and I can't really think of anything I need. Maybe it would be nice if you could get a pair or 2 of some black slacks. I only have 2, and I don't want to use my suit pants too much. It's alright though, no rush.
Well I can't wait to write you again when I have exciting stuff to say, but then again everyday is fairly exciting. Probably one of the coolest thing so far was that on Thursday I was able to be in charge of my area with a Spanish speaking missionary. He was fun. He is a big white BYU football player.
Well g2g ttyl.

Hey Pops.
Things are going great!!! Elder Holmquist is an awesome trainer. He is a very intelligent nice guy that comes from a large family in Montana. I think he is the oldest, and he has multiple younger siblings. Redlands is an amazing area.
Everyone here seems to be very friendly. The members are super nice as well. We have an active ward mission process thing going where us missionaries teach members the lessons to encourage missionary work.
I have been meaning to send you guys some more pictures, but things are crazy. Sometime withing the next week or so I will send you my SD card full of pictures. You can take them off, and send me it back. I have two SD cards, so that will work great!
Well nothing huge has happened yet, but I just started teaching a family the lessons, and it seems promising. So I hope we can get them converted. Its the Garza family. They have 3 young boys in their family and they seem to be very interested. I'll let you know how things go. We also have a young boy ready to get baptized. Hopefully we can get him a baptismal date soon. He is 11.
Don't worry about the airport. It's completely fine. I flew out with my good friends from the MTC, and I think Micah was right. It's no biggie it's all good.
Yeah Dave is a cool guy and he has quite the story. He grew up in orphanages most of his life and he has been in multiple religions. He really enjoys the missionaries and the gospel and he live real close so when we don't have anything going later in the night we just talk with him till 9:00.
Well I'm all set with everything I think. I'll be okay on the sunscreen for a bit, but once summer rolls around I will be needing it for sure, so you can send it whenever.
Well I got a ton of emails to write so I'll have to ttyl next week.
