So jumping right into things I was looking back on my emails and they are super jumbly so I decided to make a new years resolution to organize them better, then I thought 'New Years is super far away.' So its a daylight savings resolution haha.
So Mondays are pretty basic, we always go to the stake center with the ZL's to play some games but usually no one else comes unless its a zone activity but pretty much everyone was there this time. We had dinner at one of the YSA branch counselors homes, apparently one of their cousins is in a bunch of videos on mormon.org <http://mormon.org> but I didn't really catch which ones because I was half asleep
Tuesday is when we have district meeting and I gave a training on referrals from church headquarters. I know being a missionary we are supposed to be humble but I killed it #NotReallyButKinda. We were able to meet with a YSA aged person who we aren't sure if they are an investigator or really lost Less-Active, like so lost that they don't even remember if they were baptized. But it was hilarious because when we went to leave she tried to hug E. Jennings and he totally rejected it by accident and gave her a handshake, he couldn't stop thinking about it all day. We had FHE that night with a Tongan family in the ward, they have a bunch of boys (the oldest is probably 10) and one baby girl. All the boys bore thier testimonies which was so funny. But whenever they sang a song the youngest who is probably 2 would say a prayer it was super funny, also his name is Bup sooo extra awesome.
Wednesday was super slow and not a lot happened but we were going to contact a LA YSA and we saw this yard decked out for Halloween so we looped back and took a pic.
Thursday we didn't get out of the house till super late because we kept getting calls and text or we were texting and calling about dropped appointments or organizing for a member to come to our lesson. It was all good though because we got to meet with the Gonzalez fam (the ones with 8 children all super young and rowdy). The mom told us about how she took them to a bunch of different churches trying to find one that was good for them and they were at one of those meetings were people shout in 'tongues' and fall on the ground and are shouting and just super weird haha (I totally want to go to one just to see what it is like). She said all of her kids were crying they were so scared. But one a super awesome note she said as we were leaving that she felt really good and hopeful for our church, mostly because her kids actually calmed down and listened a little into the lesson.
Fridays are our days to weekly plan so we didn't really get anything done at all which sucks but we got next week planned down nice and good.
On Halloween we met with Joyce (the fishy house smelly person) and set another baptism date (we have to keep pushing it back because she wont come to church!) but we are feeling good about it. We also went to a pass-off lesson with some other elders who found someone for our YSA branch but the investigator didn't show up which sucked because it was a 30 minute drive for us soooo, yea. Then, because it was Halloween we couldn't proselyte after 6 so we just went to the church and played b-ball with the ZL's all night and then watched the testaments... man that movie is so badly made.
But yea. then Sundays are super basic unless something surprising happens which didn't happen this week but oh well.
PCE fam!
