Happy...Spring?

Hey Mama 
We are looking forward to general conference as well! Irvine is good. The past days have been sunny and the people are happy(ish). This is a pretty rough area. A lot of drugs and crime. A man came up to me and started a conversation by saying, "you know why I hate the mormons". It was an interesting conversation. We are teachings loads these days but we do have a dinner appointment every evening this week. 
    Last week we got some snow which was crazy!!! But now we are repping the short sleeves even though it is still like 50 degrees. 
    We have some big plans for this area so we are hoping for a great week!!
Love you all and enjoy conference,
A little dusting of Spring snow

Some icy water!!

Glad elders can't swim on their missions...

Spiritual Thought or Cooking?

Hey Mama,
    Had a pretty strange week. Very cold and rainy everyday until SundaySunday was very warm. Didn't wear a jacket, for the first time in like 6 months. Hopefully that is an indication for the coming weeks! The forecast doesn't look like it though.... Crazy to hear that Chase is back! Things are changing a lot. 
    We had an area conference for the northern Europe area. Had some fantastic speakers with some very motivational talks. We were able to use one of the talks in a lesson we had last night. We are teaching some cool people, however not as many people as we would like. Have moves call this weekend, so crazy how fast this transfer went by. Kind of hoping for some change, keeps it fresh.
Funny story time, went to a dinner appointment at Bishop's house. Always a great laugh at "Castle Cunningham" had a great dinner and it was our turn do the spiritual thought. But, the sisters accidentally texted Bishop instead of us saying "Hey you have the spiritual thought this time." 
So bishop was all like... okay, but you have the cooking next time! it was a good laugh.
Hope you all have a great week
Love you 
Elder Scholz
