Finally a picture! just one though haha, sorry folks. Today we are going on a hike in Wrightwood so we will have more pics for next week. This week was really good, nothing super out of the ordinary but we got a lot of work done.
Tuesday we were able to get into some families that have been away/sick/not opening their door to us. We taught some good lessons. Nothing super noteworthy.
Wednesday we finally got in with Lance! he is a lost-less-active Samoan member who lives in Applevalley. He is super cool, he works pretty much ere'day so we are giving up part of our p-day to see him. His wife isnt a member and she is palagi so hopefully we can get her feelin the spirit! We saw the Nonu family as well and, as we double checked on Sunday, the wife's records are lost so we are going through the lessons again for rebaptism.
Thursday we all didnt wake up on time for excercise because we were all feeling kind of bad. Elder Wilding was completely out so Elder Boltz and Loveless went on splits to service and some lessons. We had dinner in Victorville and then went to see a few LA's.
Friday was super long! We taught one of our new Samoan investigators the Plan of Salvation, its funny because she has a ton of energy and goes of on rants but its cool because it all applies... sorta haha.
We weekly planned and then we saw the Nonu's again, trying to get those lessons done asap. We went to the hospital in Applevalley to give a blessing. That was my first blessing in a hospital... ug I hate hospitals they are so creepy. It was cool though, he was a Samoan member who is blind and I always say to him, "It was nice to see you brother Sopoaga!" and he sort of pauses and is like, "it was nice to... hear you (chuckle)" I dont know if he thinks its funny or not but I keep forgetting haha. But out dinner was good, the fam just watched Big Hero 6 the whole time so it was a struggle to start any conversation. #missionaryprobs #dontwatchtvwhenyouhavetheeldersoverfordinner
Saturday we had service planned for an hour in the morning with a family in the Adelanto ward, but then of course it took 3 hours instead. It was funny because they kept bickering so we told them they needed a reality tv show and it would be bigger than keeping up with the Kardashians #gettingtoknowtheGrahams other than that Saturday was super slow.
Sunday was really good. Samoan ward was complete opposite of last week. the entire chapel was filled, like crammed in tightly. it was legit. We had dinner, and I forgot all the Samoan eating rules I was so hungry from the fast, ended up eating 3 full plates of rice, meat, and other starchy foods, and that was before dessert #samoanwardprobs. It was cool though becuase they had their 18 year old son who is graduating walk us out to our car (that sounds hecka weird typing it out but watev) and we had this super long talk outside their house about serving a mission because he is really unsure. I hope he does #CalgaryCanadaMission
but that was my week. I hope it was entertaining enough for you all. ALso crazy that Mothers Day is this sunday. Seems like last week I skyped for Christmas. crazy. <3
