Week #6

KILL JUNG UNGH
This week has been really really hot.. Close to 100 everyday but hey
that won't stop us and  we are still taking it to the streets
everyday.

Thursday I went on splits with Elder Park. He is from South Korea. He
is a character and the man. We walked by a tae kwon do place and he
tells me how he use to do it back in Korea and then for the rest of
the day he would kick every pedestrian crossing button we came to.
Then during daily planning that night I made the mistake of asking him
what he thought about Kim Jung Uhng (I thinks that how you spell it,
that's what he told me) he stopped what he was doing immediately and
screamed "Kill Jung Uhng !!" Then he went on and on about how Kim Jung
Uhng needs a hole in his head and what not. I was on the floor dying
because I was laughing so hard. He also told me South Korea is having
a draft right now so he has to serve in the army when he gets back. He
said thought he is going to cut off is index and middle finger so he
can't get drafted because he thinks it's all a big waste of time.
Thursday was a day to remember.

I hope you all get to see the pictures I send home every week. This
week We found Two things this week that my companion and I found that
were new. There is this alley that we walk through quite often and one
night when we were walking back to the car there was a new graffiti
sign that wasn't there the day before "black lives matter" I had to
get a picture with that! The other being when we were in Compton we
stop by this stop sign for shade because it is under a tree my
companion looks up and says "hey that's new" I look up and what do I
see? I nice new bullet hole right through the stop sign. Man I love it
here.

Conference was OFF THE CHAIN. It was so good I took really good notes
and all of the talks will help me become a better missionary! If
anyone would like my notes I took I can send them to you! We also got
transfer Sunday night and I'm staying with Elder Jensen! And now he is
our district leader! We are going to have our hands full for this
transfer but with the lords help we can do it! And I'm so grateful I
get to serve in this area again!

Wednesday was awesome, we were in Compton and it was really hot and we
were getting ready to go get our car to go get some water. I had this
thought come to me that was like "hey lets go see if the Oliva family"
they are a less active family and we have tried to come by their house
several different times during the day and we have had no luck at all
their gate is always locked at the end of their driveway. My companion
looked at me and was like "it's hot, lets go get a drink and drive
back over here" I replied "yeah that's a good idea lets just do that"
as I turned around and took a few steps towards the way of the car I
just got the same feeling, so I turned around and said "nope lets go
we are going to their house right now it's only a few streets over.
THE GATE WAS UNLOCKED AND THEY WERE INSIDE! I said a quick prayer in
my heart thanking Heavenly Father for the urge to go to their house
and that they were home. The dad answered the door and we kinda got to
know him and his 3 girls, as we were talking i was paying real close
attention to what he was saying and his needs were and then just a
single thought came into my head for a split second and that was "show
him the 3rd pattern of lights video with David A. Bednar" so I said
"hey I have something to show you" and I gave him my iPad to watch
this video. After it was done he looked at us and started crying. He
said "I prayed last night for the first time in 6 months asking
Heavenly Father what I should do where should I go" there was a huge
pause in the room because he was choking on his tears. He then looks
at both of us and he said "Heavenly Father answered that prayer by
sending you two to my door today." I instantly felt the spirit so
strong right as he said those words, I just about started to cry which
I don't plan on doing on my mission. We'll see. But this was the
coolest experience I've had since I have been out here. I said like 15
prayers to Heavenly Father the rest of the day thanking him for those
prompting and for this opportunity I had to meet with Carlos, and I
know he was doing the same. This experience built my testimony up so
much stronger about the Holy Ghost and how important it is to act on
these promptings. Bringing people unto Christ or helping me get back
on the path to Christ can only be done through the Holy Ghost. I am so
grateful for the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost I have with
me everyday

Hope everyone has an awesome week!

Peace and Blessings
