Things have been good. My back is kind of hurting me lately, and I hope it's not messed up. We helped a LA family move last week and it probably wasn't good for it. But things are good - just keep movin' along. On Monday for P-day we had an awesome zone activity. We met at a members home in Alamo and had breakfast, then drove up to Mt. Diablo. We had a morning side and read the Sermon on the Mount, then drove up to the very top of Mt. Diablo where they have an observation tower and visitors center/museum. The view is AMAZING! You can practically see the whole entire mission. It was fun. On the drive down the mountain (more like a big hill - they don't really have mountains here) I got really car sick. I never get car sick - but I really almost threw up. It's all good. Then yesterday was tough. I just had a rough day. During splits that night Bro. Cox asked me how things are going and I was honest and told him that I was having "one of those days". He said he was glad to hear that - and I was shocked, but he told me that as missionaries, if we didn't get discouraged and feel so low, then we could never feel the amazing experience of angels round about us bearing us up. We have great promises as missionaries. Bro. Cox is awesome.
