Week 49

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! This week was hecka long! but not all in a bad way, just another pretty basic week. Ill get right into it....

Tuesday we saw Lance, we havent been able to see his wife as often because she works a lot during the day but Lance loves to read from the BofM! Its super cool, we go over and he said he wants to start from the beginning so we read a chapter with him then he asked if we could keep reading. Ended up reading 6ish chapters haha its awesome. We had a mini FHE with the Saveas, we were super pressed for time so I felt bad but it went pretty well, cant even remember what we taught. Its gonna be awk cuz tonight we are going over to talk about temples and temple work (mostly baptisms for the dead) specifically because it gets on the AoG pastors nerves haha. Sis Savea told us to do it though so its okay.

Wednesday was pretty basic, a few lessons, a few promises about people coming to church. A few promises about coming to church shattered on Sunday.

Thursday was the same sort of thing, we seem to be getting a lot of progress with our less actives by going through the "Addiction Recovery Program" booklet with them, so thats nice.

Friday: Also

(haha I just sort of referenced the facsimiles in Abraham just then)

SAturday I went on exchanges into Silverlakes with Elder Olsen. TBH I hate exchanges. they suck. But this wasnt too bad. Just basic work.

Highlights: 

Planned service 10-12, actual service 10-2:30 wtheck

Walking around Hook Park and getting shut down in a contacting situation because they wanted to find someone to fight

thats about it..... yea

Sunday was good, we drove around to peoples houses and no one wanted to come to church smh. after church we found a new gator for Samoan ward though! he is the 11 year old nephew of some semi actives in our ward. Long story short, he and his 16 year old sister living there permanently now because of a sensitive situation. The 16 year old has been baptized and the 11 year old wants to be. siiiick!

Today was crazy. I am emailing hecka late because we went to wrightwood and hiked the gold mine again, but this time with pretty much all the missionaries in the zone. So Shumway, Thelander, Wedel and I all went trailblazing/straight-up rock climbing but the mountain. It was intense, almost legit died about 3 times it was hecka fun. Working on getting pictures form everyone right now. Then we went to this random bus graveyard and tried to tow the hood of a bus behind a truck and get pulled #fail

So we went back to the big dirt hill in Adelanto and biffed it super hard on the big Wheel again. idk if I wrote about it before but we have done it before. but this time was better.

Now i'm all scraped up and bloody and tired and dirty. But I had a lot of fun.

Have a good week!
