Rancho Cucamonga.week 1

So.... Lots has been going on. I left the MTC and got on the smallest plane since the wright brothers, flew for a short time and landed in Ontario California. Pres Godwin was waiting for us and he gave us hugs instead of handshakes. We then went over to a park that has a lot of Mormon pioneer history and we learned about pretty much all of it. We then jetted over to President's house and met our trainers. My comp is Elder Purcell. Again, you all called it, He's Samoan. He is way cool and he's been out for about eighteen months. I'm currently serving in Rancho Cucamonga. We are in the Red Hill Ward. We live close to the intersection of Arrow and Vineyard, in the Willow Apartments. EP has been here for almost 8 months. He knows the members really well. They are all cool. Our roommates are spanish speaking. All of us are from Utah. We are on bikes and they have cars. It kind of stinks because most of our area is uphill. (That should help me stay in shape. We eat at member's every night) My bike is pretty much a piece. What can you expect from Walmart? It gets me from here to there I suppose. We went shopping the second day at WINCO!! Yeah, I was happy. We went with Elder Brown and his Greenie, they are in our District, with EP as DL. Anyway, we were talking about shows we watched as a kid and the subject turned to the show Recess. Now EP calls me Mikey. It fits I guess, and I don't mind. Friday we went to the Bel-air swap meet in Fontana. It's pretty much like a hard-core DI. Tons of Mexicans with their booths selling cheap stuff. Because EP is DL he has lots of meetings so I get to go tracting with E. Mortensen, one of our roommates. It's really not that hard, even when a guy opens his door and yells, "Get Back!" Everyone has a dog here. They are all little yappers too. One family we went to, had a Chihuahau that took a liking to me. After dinenr they asked us to Dedicate their apartment. It was pretty awesome. We also blessed one sister on Friday who wasn't feeling well, On Sunday she was just fine and gave a talk. Church was pretty standard except that every class I was in they made me say the prayer because I'm new. The weather here is pretty sweet. Except it's freezing! It almost got down to 40 degrees the other night! How's the Snow? Mwahaha.Thanks so much for all your good thoughts, I love all of you and keep you in my prayers, keep the faith! -Elder Williams
