First, Royal city is small. The house is gross. Was gross that is. I spent a total of 5 and 1/2 hours cleaning it this past week, four of those hours today. I cleaned the corners, the closet, the carpet, everything. The room is shining. It looks cleaner that anything I have ever seen. I do it because the way it was I'm pretty sure the Holy Ghost couldn't have penetrated all the cob webs.
The lady in our house was very pleased to see that a missionary was finally cleaning the rooms. She said she doubted that any missionary in a number of months had even used the vacuum. Gross. I rearranged the desks and beds and quadrupled the amount of space in our house. I can officially breath again now that all the dust is gone.
Everything in Royal Is going well except that I it's a little weird not knowing everybody and learning the area. But things are good. We should have a few baptisms coming up so we are excited. Tomorrow I will be going to warden on an Exchange. That is going to be righteously fun. and Thursday I'm going to Spokane for a district leader training so I'll be all over the place.
Thanks for everything mom, love you

Dad,
Royal city is doing well. The four other companionship's in the district call me every night which is killing me in relation to writing in my journal everyday.
we have a car but we have to bike most of the day. The car is mostly just used from in and out of town, similar to warden, and going to weekly district meetings.
I'm back in the Spanish Zone, which is really racist against English missionaries sadly, killing our mission unity, not allowing us to reach the goals we set. I talked to the ap's the other day while they drove the transfer van about the "one mission commission" which I coined, and they are in favor. Hope fully we can destroy the sense of superiority in our zone.
(because we aren't even close to being better by the way)

Note from Mom; If anyone can create unity it will be Ben. He has been that way his whole life and he will not give up until it happens and then the mission will explode in baptisms! In my humble opinion of course
