Week 4

What up fam and friends? 

This week went by kinda fast but so much stuff happened and I remembered to write it down so get ready to have your minds blown! I guess I'll start with our apostate activity... SO we share the Rancho Park ward with another companionship who lives in the same apt complex as us and one day when we parked our car (we were giving them a ride home from something) we noticed this Guava tree hanging over the fence of our complex and so we boosted up Elder Hirst from the other companionship because he is super short and he picked a bunch. We blended them up and were expecting to have some sort of guava juice that some members had made for us earlier but we just ended up with this nasty flavorless soup stuff, but guava are like 1.75$ here and we picked like 10, but it was just like an empty trailer park thing that the tree was growing in so it wasn't that bad. 

I met my first crazy person this week! He used to have a baptism date earlier this year but his brothers whispered weird beliefs in his ear and he reads weird things online. I wrote down a few things after we left so I wouldn't forget. First of all he has been reincarnated multiple times, he was the original eve and then he was Mary Magdalene, he remembers crying when Jesus was crucified. Then He was an Egyptian shape-shifting deity named Isis. Also Hitler was the Jesus for Catholics. But he believes that Heavenly Father is his spiritual father, but also some sort of Greek Goddess is his spiritual mother. Yea, kinda crazy. I didn't say a lot the whole lesson I was so confused haha.

Saturday night we had a dinner appointment with a YSA member Anthony Vasquez who took us to a taco place and bought one of every meat type. it was super cool, there was brain, tongue, stomach, throat and something else along with he normal chicken and prok and such. He wouldn't tell us which was which until we tried it so I just went for it, apparently stomach or intestine is pretty good. The throat was super greasy and chewy and was my least favorite. The Brain was like eating air it was so weird/awesome. But he took a pic and posted it on his insta account. (anthony.ldsdude89 if you want to see it)

I gave a talk yesterday in the YSA branch, there was like 20 people there and it was on charity. Everyone told me it went well but I was just psyched because I actually took up all the time I was allotted and didn't go super short lol.

Ive been sick all week, just a sore throat and a cough but it sucks because every morning a cough up a tonne of nasty grey mucus haha tmi I know but I'll share what I wish.

That pretty much my week, love you all.
