Glad my brothers are alive!!!!!

Hey dad! I'm glad to hear that James and Joey are alive and doing well. Hopefully James will make sure to always look both ways before crossing. Tell Josh I'm proud of him for getting a job and to give him a good handshake from me. Yeah don't worry I'm not going to spend as much as I have been, I spent some more money than I usually do but I will make sure I budget more.

 Things that happened this week:

-Brother "C" got a bike back from these guys that stole a bike from a missionary (Elder Barney). we went to Brother "C's" house and picked it up and brought it back to Elder Barney.  He was super happy to get it and he told me that it is worth $1,000....he is so lucky!

 -We found 2 new investigators Ruby and Anthony. Anthony is a single dad and has two sons and Ruby is Anthony's mom. We taught them a little about the restoration yesterday after church and they want to come to church this Sunday to learn more. They seem really interested and they ask a lot of good questions about Jesus Christ and Heavenly.  Like being separate beings but the same in purpose which is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. Anthony heard that Mormons can't drink soda and we laughed and told him yeah it's okay to drink soda. We plan on seeing them tomorrow and hopefully we shall have another great lesson.

-For my personal study this week I've been memorizing more scriptures and when I recite slowly and confidently to members and investigators it brings the spirit in more strongly. My favorite scripture to quote so far is Joseph smiths first vision even though I learned it before I came out its always powerful when telling it to investigators.

That's pretty much it.  Later on today I will be going to Auberry for exchanges with Elder Furness from New Jersey haha. I tell him all the time that New Jersey people are crazy drivers. I will be in a car all day! so not biking in the hot sun for the day.
I'm excited to get the books and tell everyone I love them and have a great week.

Love,
Elder DeMarco
PS I'm glad Tyler likes her gift. Give her a big hug from me.
