A little Rock and Roll for Elder Hyde in Newhall

Did you feel the earthquake?

I have felt one roll. It was tiny and I wasn't positive until someone else mentioned it a day or two later, the rest I have slept through. Everyone is telling us that this is almost exactly like the '94 Northridge earthquake. Everyone thinks that this one is going to be much bigger so we are getting read. The silly missionaries are like, “if there is one we can all help and it will be a great way to find” and etc. etc. etc. I think they are being silly. They aren't thinking of the destruction and all of the other bad things, other than just missionary work. Sometimes I feel bad because I can’t just make my mind just totally “missionary” and think of every little thing as a missionary opportunity. But then I remember that I wouldn't like it that way and this keeps it so I can see things from a lot of different perspectives. So yeah.... sorry just a little bit of a rant.

Thanks, I try to make my letters fun, and I think it is really funny, cause everyone was like you don't send those types of stories to your mom! They will freak her out and that is mean. Haha, I said, remember we live overseas. We have had a lot worse things than a guy being a little crazy. Also I said you served out here on your mission so you have your own crazies’ stories.

Here is a picture or two for you.

This week smelled of Palm trees, Sun Shine and Freedom. 'Merica!
