The Blue Angels

Well things are going really well here in San Francisco. This week was pretty cool.. so every year in S.F. they do this air show called 'Fleet Week.' There is a Navy base here and a few ships and air craft carriers come in and dock for the week - down town there is a bunch of sailors walking around. Anyways, the Blue Angels come and perform over the bay!! So for three days in a row there are jets flying all over the place!! It's way cool! We timed it just right. We were taking an investigator to the temple over in Oakland so we were driving over the bridge during the Blue Angels performance. There was tons of traffic so it was pretty cool. The jets just kept flying right over and around the bridge! There are a ton of sailboats that go out into the water also, so while the jets are performing they do a bunch of fly-by's just skimming the tops of the sail boats!! It's crazy!! After my mission I really want to get a sail boat and come for fleet week. That same day we saw another crazy thing happen - there was a huge group of skaters maybe 100-150 people all in a huge group cruzing the hills in San Francisco. They just took over the road it was way cool.

San Francisco is a really crazy place. Basically, you can do anything you want besides kill people and hurt small children and it's acceptable. There are so many philosophy's on life and different ways of living and thinking. The moral standard has degraded so much in the world today. Now days the lifestyle that people live and the rules and guidelines that a person follows is all personal preference. People don't even acknowledge the fact that God has set guidelines and commandments for our protection. I have a really strong testimony of commandments when I think about life and what happens when there is no direction, guidance or warning. It really scares me to see some of these young kids that think they know better than God about what's right and what's wrong. The adversary is very real. Anyways I feel good about helping people find happiness and direction :)

Right now we are teaching a kid named Sunny. He is awesome. Right now he is going to school to compose music. He plays the coolest songs!! It's really awesome. I love being a missionary 'cause we get to meet so many wonderful people and we learn from one another and we share experiences with each other. So we have really be praying hard for Sunny in helping him gain a testimony of God. His parents are from China and they never really had religion as part of their life.

Things are great. I'm loving life. I know the Church is true especially when I live the commandments and see the blessings that come from it.
Have a wonderful week!
