Hi,
Elder Garrison is a good kid. He is from a family of 8 as well but he is 6th not 5th. He is like way into supper hero's and cartoons. He is also kind of a movie buff. He plays sports with us on p-days but you can kind of tell he hasn't played them tons. He is kind of uncomfortable looking and a little uncoordinated but he tries really hard, and he is actually pretty good at them. Its sounds like you are having a fun summer. I am glad Lee's birthday party was fun HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE.
I am actually getting acclimated to the heat. It's not to bad now even when it is 105 degrees. It cools down at night which is great. I think I like the cold more than the heat but I am kind of turning into a California wimp. Well I love you and hope work goes well.

Love,

Elder Hurst

Hey mom,
I'm sorry I haven't written you much. I am a terrible son. It's just that I hate writing. I never know what to say or how to say it, plus it takes me forever. I hope that my emails at least help. I have some pics I am going to send to you. I'm sorry this is late, but if you haven't sent the package yet you could put in a few more ties some music like Mindy Galdhil (I don't know the spelling) or efy music or mo-tab. I liked the job in the summer that I had it. I feel it was a good opportunity for me to learn how to really clean. I think you would be surprised on how many missionaries don't know how to clean. So I think it was a good job to have.

The work is going good and the members are taking way good care of us. The Skordas family are awesome they joined the church like a year ago and just got sealed. They are always inviting us over for root beer floats or for lunch. Whenever they go to the store the ask if we need any thing. Last Sunday they made us waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. There are also like 4 other families we can call if we don't have a dinner or if we need anything. We are in a great area.
Anyway, I think Erin would like the job. I don't really know anyone working there any more sorry. Well, I love you and miss you.

I think I got the pictures. They were the ones of the new bike right ? That's cool that Jake's going back out. I was worried he wouldn't go. Any who- the work is going great. My companion is Elder Garrison from Bethel Connecticut. He has been out for 20 almost 21 months. He is a really nice guy, but a little sensitive sometimes. He has gained like 60 pounds on his mission but he is a really good teacher and he is bold. We got 3 awesome new investigators and 3 new baptism dates. It is great to work with someone that is ready to work again.
One of the investigators is a guy named Brett Spade. He is a world champion kick boxer and as a wrestler. He was on the USA team. Now he is a police officer. Elder Bean wants an action figure of him. Our other investigators with dates are the little family. The mom has no religious background but the kids all want to go to church really bad. When they first started taking the lessons they thought we were jw's but we explained who we were and taught them about Jesus Christ and the wanted to be baptized like Him.
We held our ice cream social on Saturday and none of our investigators showed. Oh well it was cool anyway. Brian Rhodes was there. He lives in the Roseville 5th ward. He is an LDS artist and has some songs on EFY CDs. He is amazing.

Lee, happy birthday on Friday! You are turning 9 right? Oh that's so old-like your going to be a grandpa. Hahaha just kidding. That's awesome you can advance in cub scouts now right. Well I hope you have awesome birthday. Love ya.

I love you guys
Love,
Elder Jared Hurst

I knew it was coming I was just telling my companion that you would prolly get married while I was gone. Jerk. No I'm just kidding. That is so awesome. I am so happy for you. You are going to have to tell me more about how you asked and every thing like that. Oh, that's so cool. I just can't believe it- you actually did it. I thought you would just chicken out. Just kidding you are great. I am so glad and can't wait to hear more. Bethany is awesome.
Oh the last picture is my best (as Cami would say).

So Elder Marrott left me to go be ZL in Anderson and my new comp just came today. He is Elder Garrison from the East coast some where. I cant remember but I will let you know next week but, he is going home in November. He is a great missionary. A lot is going to get done. I am excited.
I love you all and I am why excited for B&B.
Love Elder Hurst.
