I'm staying at the same house that the ZLs were in when I was in Paradise. They were the missionaries that I looked up to. Now that is were I'm at... and I am way excited for this transfer.

Elder Mortenson is my comp. He is from Morgan UT. He is awesome. I think I would have been totally lost if he weren't here. I have some sad news: the higher ups of the church said no Skype. So I will just be calling at 5 my time which is 6 your time. I hope every one can make it. I would love to talk to you all so very much.

The weather is so amazing. The only problem is the plants love it too so my allergies are going crazy. Nothing is working to get rid of them.

People in Chico are kind of nuts. It is one of the top party schools in the nation.

We had a meeting this last week for the zone leaders. Elder Ockey and Elder Booth were there. It was one of the most powerful meetings I have been to. We all got a chance to bare our testimonies and the room was just full of the Spirit. Jesus is the Christ. He lives. I know that this is true. I have a stronger testimony of it now then ever before.

I love you and cant wait to hear from you
Love,

Elder Hurst

p.s. I did get your Easter package like 2 weeks before Easter (time is a blur).

Hi,

Things are going really good here. Today we get transfer calls so that's pretty intense. I will let you know if we get the call before I am done Emailing.

The elder you are referring to is prolly Elder Sopalski. He is in my district and knows Ed Peckham. He also knows Lisa Haight, which is kind of funny. I think he took her on a date.

One of the coolest things that happened this week was that Donny Ferguson (a less active) quit smoking! He was struggling with it for a couple of weeks while we were doing the non-smoking work shop. One day just quit. He now considers himself a non-smoker. We are going to have a lesson with him today and talk about him getting the priesthood.

We are just still plugging along. We may have a baptism coming up. The son of a convert is praying about when to be baptized.

Well, I am looking forward to mothers day.

Love you.

Love,

Elder Hurst
