    Dear Family, Friends, and Xangans,

    Last week was a very hard week for me. I had the flu, amonst other woes. I am stoked for the coming week though. Today brings change. I am now the Vehicle Coordinator for the California Arcadia Mission. I have a new companion, Elder Pitcher.

    Yesterday was a good day. Church went relievably well. There was a nice fireside about the relationship between Jews and Mormons with a guest speaker who was an Israeli Diplomat. I learned about that made me proud. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only Christian Church in the world with a perfectly clean history of non-antisemitism (sp?). Utah and Idaho have had the first Jewish Governors, for example. Anyway. Made me proud cause I have lots of Jewish friends.

    Take Care,
    Elder Embree
