::Success in Lakewood::

My weeks are still going good. I think I am struggling right now because I learn things really quickly and then stop doing them once I get used to it. Maybe I am getting to used to Missionary work or I just need to be more Determined. I still love my Mission. It is better than anything else I would and could be doing right now.
I miss going to the Temple. Maybe Temple day is soon :) I remember everytime I left the Temple I would feel so happy and relaxed. Going to the Temple helps me appreciate life more. I hope  that everyone who is endowed takes every opportunity they have to go to the temple.  You feel like a new person and help deceased members have salvation, you could give them no greater gift.
I was blessed with new companions two weeks ago. Their names are Heiner and Simmons. They are great companions. Elder Heiner is way nice and laughs at alot of things. It's nice to have laughter in your home and around you.  Elder Simmons is excited about anything alot of the time.
The weather is great. We get sunshine about 75% of the time right now. It got really hot yesterday.
Today is P-Day and we are going to play ultimate frisbee and volleyball. I havent played volleyball in a long time. Our zone seems to be really indesicive on what games we play on pday. Maybe we can plan our activities before P-Day so we have a plan in place.
(This is probably the longest e-mail I have wrote on my Mission :) Sorry if my writting is random, I'm just writting what comes in my head.
Me and my Companions went gardening earlier today. That was really relaxing. I remember always doing gardening with my dad.  It brought back  many good memories.
Im sort of learning how to play a yuke- kel-lay-lee. Two of my three Companions know how to play so they are teaching me. I can now play C and G. Elder Dayhuff told me to practice changing keys.  I love music so I'm enjoying learning. 
We aren't finding very many new people to teach lately but we have nine people on date for Baptism right now. My favorite investigators to talk to right now is Glorinda and Lee. They are both natives and grew up in the native religion. Glorinda loved how the plan of Salvation/ Happiness goes exactly with her beliefs in the ending. They are planning on getting Married and Baptized on May 20th if they get an answer to from God. 
We talked to some one named either Charley or Charles yesterday. He is a great guy with alot of profound questions. I found out there's alot I dont know. It gives me a good challenge to learn more.  Does anyone have questions for me? Its way fun to figure out answers and its fun just to be asked questions.
I have been reading alot on God will Protect all those who Trust in Him in the Scriptures. It also uses the word "wait on Him" alot. I think is refering to anyone going through a Trial to just stand strong but I could be wrong. Does anyone have any other thoughts on what it means?
What is everyone's favorite Scripture?
