E-mail of September 5, 2005

Dear Family,

Thanks for all of the birthday packages everyone. I really liked the card Jeff and Augusta made, and the Mambas of course. I have way too much candy now, it'll take me a long time to eat it all!

Anyways, this week has been kind of slow. Getting use to a new area is usually hard, but much more so when you have a brand new missionary who doesn't speak very good English. But, I'm doing my best and Elder Fainga'anuku is a great missionary. He has an amazing testimony and sacrificed a lot to come on his mission.

The area I am covering covers two wards, the Canyon Lake ward, and the Wildomar ward. It is a huge area, and we have to get on the freeway to go to certain parts of it. Luckily it is cooling down here, and the members are really nice. We live in a homeshare, which we will be moving out of on the 15th to another homeshare. That is definitely an adjustment that is taking a little while to get used to. The community we live in is a gated private community. So we have to have a pass to get in and out.

Also, this area is right next to my first area, Sun City, and we actually go into Sun City a couple times a week for DDM or for a Missionary Prep class on Sunday.

Well, that's it for now, I hope everyone is doing well and thank you again for the packages.

Love,
Timothy
