Week 45

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeea! Another transfer in the ghetto/Samoan wards! I am super pumped! My new comp is Elder Thelander, fun fact, he came out one transfer before me and his first comp was Elder Jennings! so in missionary terms we are 'half-brothers'

Monday was sick, we had another zone bbq. Elder Boltz and I dint eat a lot because we were anticipating a bbq dinner but it didnt pan out :(

There was one of those bucket-crane things and Elder Shumway and I climbed up it #yolo

Tuesday was district meeting, Elder Boltz was given most of the time to tell us what the biggest thing he learned form the miss was, it was super good. Dang I miss him... :'(

We saw Joseph Satele, who is the brother-in-law of a less active. He has come to church a few times and we invited him to be baptized and he was super pumped for it! I am super excited for the work coming up.

Wednesday I cant really remember what we did in the morning, but in the afternoon we went to ward camp. We got there around 5 because it was supposed ot be our dinner, and then we were 45 minutes late to our exchanges that night.... at 9:30 haha #islandtime

Thursday I went with Elder Guerra on one of the most fun/pointless exchanges ever. We met the new President that morning, so I saw Elder Boltz all day anyway haha. President and Sister Taylor are super cool, its weird though because all the missionaries can do president Hobbs' voice impersonations because he has a super distinct voice but Pres. Taylor doesnt. He is definitly way more... how do I put it... emotional? in a good way though haha. Elder Boltz made sure to point out the fact that he was now the missionary having served the longest in the whole mission because he arrived at the MTC first. Taught a lot of spanish people, and missed out on swordfish at ward camp that night. smh

Friday Elder Boltz packed a bit while I weekly planned. We went and watched the testaments with the Savea fam because they love us so much. It was kinda sad because we thought I was gonna leave but I stayed! We had dinner with the Fata's that night, it was super fun.

Saturday we plugged in pretty much every member of the ward into the gps and hit them all up in case someone didnt show up to church to say bye to Boltz. Elder Boltz and I also took a pic at in a boat in the middle of the desert. Kinda sad cuz we saw it my first week here and planned on getting a pic, and now its the last one I have of him. 

Saturday was hectic, Elder Boltz bore his testimony which was super sick. Then we got rushed by everyone at the end of sacrament and he got lei'd super hard (😂) 

Elder Boltz then drove down the Hill with another departing missionary and I spent the night at the Jelan house in AppleValley with elder Ogbonna, Mcchesney and Porrit (I think I butchered the spelling on all of those)

Monday we drove down the hill and all got our comps. Elder Thelander and I had a light lunch because we had two bbqs that night. We were supposed to be at our apartments by 6 but we were at Bishops till 8:30 #rebelz #islandtimeagain

Adelanto is the only city in the high dessert that you can use fireworks, and even then its only legal to use the little fountains that go up like 9 feet. Lets just say that the law didnt stop these people from celebrating thew 4th. I heard people save 2000$ for the 4th, half to buy fireworks and half for the fine haha.

and now its Tuesday, Elder Wilding is coming up the hill today with his greenie (Loveless got transfered). We will see how it goes.

Love you all!

Elder Ockey
