Texas has been great. It is still hot as ever. I stopped trying to wipe sweet off my face cause it back in 4 minutes anyway. We had zone conference this week up in san antonio which was sweet. We had an awesome talk by president Cutler one using the Book of Mormon to go over the most come question we faced like, Why do i need to be baptized again, or Whats the difference between your god and my god. Anyway way sweet!! We split up on to go on exchanges on the way back.

So elder DeLeo, our ZL and i went were on our way back to Hondo and we had the funnest ride home. To start it off we had a Kamikaze bird hit our windshield about 10 minutes into the trip. next we turn off the freeway onto the highway. And as a precursor the layout of Texas road suck they are just the most confusing thing in the world. Anyway driving down the "Highway" and about a mile down the road there is a sign ROAD ENDS 500 meters. Turns out our map was wrong and that side highway didn't exist and it was a ranch road now.So we get back on the Freeway and find a dirt washboard Country Road to go down, and make it to La Coste a small town about half way between Hondo and San Antonio. We get our do some tracking and found the sweetest family taking a family walk and were talking about their faith. Sickest family ever. on the sick scale the were deathly ill. So we were just pumped and we drive out to go back to Hondo. Found a gap in traffic and got on the highway. as soon as i got to the other side i see these flashing blue and red light. It turned out you are supposed to "stop" on a red light. Who knew? So we a stopped there the officer come to the window we explain we are missionaries and we just did not see the red light. he takes my information. Comes back AND... gives me a warning. I kissed my plaque after that and drove home with the cruise control on the whole time.
Anyway Love ya
