Week 93 in LA--Everything is Good in the Hood

Zach called on Sunday and on Monday. Sunday he talked to Matt and my dad for Father's Day (he also talked to my mom and I for a bit 😉😂). He is doing great! He gets along very well with both of his companions and they work hard covering both areas. He said that the people in both wards are great and they feed them as much as possible. He said that the weather has turned HOT, like 105 degrees hot. 

We talked a lot about college and jobs. He is anxious to find a job right a way, which I'm sure he will. He doesn't sound as unhappy about coming home anymore though. I'm sure it's going to be hard for him to leave, he loves Cali and serving, but I am also sure that he will adjust and things will be just as they should be. 

He said that he still wants to go to Astro Burger to eat after the airport and then he'd like to be released and then he'd like to sleep. He said he'd love 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep. But then he also said that his body is so used to getting up at a certain time so he'll probably wake up early anyway. 😂😂

He said that it is going to be interesting listening to music and watching movies/tv again. He said that it will take some getting used to. He can't wait to listen to real music, a lot of his companions like country and he has listened to a lot of country gospel music (YUCK 😖). I told him I was able to sign him up to help work at USANA and he was happy with the concerts he can work.

He said that for P-day that day, they went to a bunch of little shops in Burbank and had a great time. They went to Porto's for lunch and he ordered a Cubano and a slice of Mango Cheesecake. He said that the food there is delicious!

We didn't talk as long as usual, which is fine because we said all that we needed to say, because he was waiting on a call from Lindsey Stirling to tell them where to meet her for dinner. I told him to make sure and get pictures!!
