hey mama. how is everything going? glad st george went good, cant say
i wished i was at those plays but glad you guys got to go. I know you
all ways said we need like culture or something to our lives but i
have a new culture and it definitley isnt plays haha. just kidding i
would go, just grumble a little bit. Thats cool that you ran into the
aiwohi family. there name is really big over there. i cant say i know
who that is but its cool. made me homesick for maui a little bit. but
its a small world haha.

everything here is going good. we had president interviews on
thursday. that went good he basically told me that it gets hard to
stay focused towards the end so to keep it up. he listed off all this
stuff that he wanted to focus on but couldnt, one of them was the heat
and thunder games and i had no idea they were even playing so i guess
he is just a little bit focused on it haha. it was funny though. he
also interviewed daisy on with date on thursday. she passed and came
to church yesterday so thats good. i know he was pretty bold with her
but she took it well so im excited for her to keep movin foreward. we
also had a 4 hour plan of salvation lesson with some lady who is
basically mormon already. the spirt was there for about 45 minutes of
the 4 hours and then i was done haha but it was good. just way to
long. to many questions and stuff. next time were going to try to keep
it in check better haha. but yeah its all going good.

elder grove and i also did a ton of service this week. on friday we
helped a family move all there stuff onto the lawn for a yard sale and
they just watched us do it all. it was really frustrating. the dad sat
on his lazy boy with a sierra mist and just told us what to move next
so we were both not very nice to them haha. they were very capeable to
do it themselves. they have like 3 older boys but for some reason they
called us. it must be a white thing because brown people dont pull
stunts like that..... then on saturday elder grover and i again went
with our bishop to install solar panels. he just sat down in the
garage and said follow the pattern of the old ones. i have faith in
you haha. i understand that. he is older and it was hard work but i
cant believe he trusted us to do it all. I also didnt know you could
soder copper pipe. we had to do it twice because the first time we did
it every pipe we sodered was leaking, more like exploding water and
bishop laughed and said opposistion in all things. not what i wanted
to hear. but the second time we went much slower and got it. it was
fun.

so yeah thats my week. my thighs are getting jacked from all my bike
riding haha and im losing weight. im down to 155 now. i guess thats
good. i eat like crazy now though haha. im always hungry but its good.

oh and last night went to a tongan fathers day firside at a beach
park. it was way cool. tongans are still my favorite polys. so humble
and loving. brother kava, our ward misison leader calls me his white
tongan son because of all my memmorized tongan i got down and i can
eat as much as him haha its funny. so i call him tamae tonga or father
tonga, its funny. he is way cool. he is going to utah next summer so
you can meet him.

and last thing this sunday were having a fireside for investagators
and recent converts. it will be good and some how we got roped into
singing. done understand that one but ill try to record it because i
guarentee it wont be good haha. elder whiting is the concluding
speaker and its his last talk before he moves back to kaysville. weird
huh?

k well love you all. glad you had a good weekend and happy fathers day dad.


love elder allen
