Week 50

heyooo! Well now its week six.  (of transfers)  Ive been in the Samoan/Adelanto wards for 6 months now. I am expecting to leave but I have a tiny glimmer of hope.

"If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." 
Mark 9:23

Haha probs one of the only times I will insert a scripture into my email.

I told you all about Monday.

Tuesday we went up into Adelanto foa little bit. Its the first time in a while I had been up there, we just always happened to have exchanges whenever we went the last few times haha. It was good. Still ghetto up here lol. We saw a good number of people. 

Wednesday was good. Saw another few in Adelanto before heading over to some polys. We taught Levi (the 11 year old we found on sunday) the restoration and it went really well. Headed over to AppleValley and read with the Samasoni's. I get excited about how excited they are to read the Book of Mormon its super cool. I just wish they could get sundays off :(

Thursday morning we saw Jordan, also in AppleValley (goodbye miles) and really got to him, at least in my mind, with the intro to the Book of Mormon. Helped him realize why its important and such. Did the same sorta thing with this ghetto guy in Adelanto. Its funny because he will ask us sometimes just to pray with us because he is "about to do a bad thing" haha

Friday was a failiure on multiple fronts. no one home or anything. But Ill tell you about something siiiick that happened this week but I dont remember what day. So we just got a little impatient with the member missionary work in the Samoan ward, because ya know, we cant tract into Samoans in most cases. We talked to a family who used to own a shop that sold island supplies and got a tonne of refferals! Dont ask why we didnt think about it before, we just assumed that missionaries had asked in the past. Moral of the story. dont assume things

Saturday we saw Levi again, taught the Plan of Salvation which I thought was going to be a little touchy because his parent have both passed away in the past 4 years. It wasnt super touchy but I didnt/dont like the way we taught it. Ug it sucks when you know all the doctrine and you can teach it all but for whatever reason it isnt going the way you want it.

Sunday was super interesting. Went to church. Super packed. The Faalogos showed up with Levi which was awesome. Classes and such yadayada. 

Okay.
No judge zone.
If you gonna judge dont read further.

*sigh*

Okay so we were super bored Sunday night at the house. 4 missionaries aged 19-20, in a house. without supervision. Bored. So we were dumb and for whatever reason we started choking eachother out haha. Super weird to write about. But long story short. I was choked out a little long. Passed out. Smashed a hole in the wall with my face. Awesome. No damage. No concussion. Don't worry mom I'm fine geez. Don't judge me I'm just a stupid young adult. It was so weird though. I totally dreamt for what seemed like a whole night in the period of standing up to falling to the ground so to me right now Sunday seems like two days ago haha.  But now my face is all cut up and there is a hole in our study room.  Ill probably send pics at some point.  Im serious mom dont worry geez I totally know your reaction right now lol

Bye!
