Week 26

I hit 6 months this week! Crazy.

Also we got transfer calls this morning and we hafta be at the mission office at 10:30 but I am going to the desert! Adelanto/Samoan ward (apparently I will be in a house as well)! Man the poly wards are crazy I am super psyched. This week was cool as well. Hopefully I dont forget to much.

Monday.. shoot I packed my planner. THis is all off of memory so Ill probably miss a lot. We had our usual p-day activity. It is honestly so hot here. it was 30 something that day and we were outside. I am so scared for the summer.

Tuesday was your basic d-meet day. We taught Daisy one last time (elder Bentley is in the same area but the YSA isnt covered by him anymore) which was fun. It sort of feels like we are at home when we teach YSA's because we just start talking about random stuff haha.

Wednesday we had exchanges with the ZL's again. Elder Nielsen came over with me. We were able to teach a few less actives and gave a blessing to a member from Washington who was visiting non-member family and somehow got our number. She went a little to in-depth with her life story though....

THursday we did service for a family. we tore up their lawn, reminded me of last summer diggin up our planters in the backyard haha. WE taught Patrice again that day, its a struggle because she has a solid testimony and everything, she just struggles with WoW.

Friday was awesome! I only remember seeing two people. We saw Brother and Sister Bramer, who are less active. They have a tonne of birds in their backyard. The birds were talking and laughing at us it was super cool/weird honestly we would teach them and a bird would say "Bob! Bob Bramer!"or "helloo!"and I would just bust out laughing it was awesome. Anyway that night Daisy and Azhley and Eduardo took us out to this super sketchy taco place, we were the only white people. Its just a tent set up behind a warehouse hidden by a bunch of semi-trucks because its not technically legal haha. We had a bunch of fun saying goodbye and such. (we sort of figured I was leaving)

Saturday was sort of a chaffa (lazy) missionary day. We had lunch and dinner with more YSA's, we got the call for me to pack my bags at lunch but they don't tell us were we are going until Monday morning so we only knew I was leaving. We were able to re-establish contact with the Investigator family with a gazillion kids under 11 years old which was nice. We watched the full length restoration and I am pretty sure she cried (whoops)

SUnday was crazy, I told a bunch of people I was leaving and we visited some people who werent at church. We had a lesson with some LA Tongans then they took a picture of us and sent it to my moms cell phone (idk if she got it or not). It was hilarious though because we were trying to talk them into going to ysa FHE the next day and the dialogue went a little like this:

Elders: "There will be food there"

Tongans: "Im on a diet"

active sister: "there will be single women"

Tongans pause: "Im gay"

Haha it was freakin hilarious. we all burst out laughing. But yea that was the last lesson I taught in Ontario for now.

Have a good week!
