Week #82

This week was pretty chill. We didn’t have too much time out on the streets cause we are trying to make sure everyone is good for their baptisms coming up soon. Over just a good week tho!

Last Monday we went on a super sick hike for p day! Then that night we exchanged with our district leader and I was with Elder Mera on bike in his area!

Tuesday we had a lot of lessons and we hiked a ton. It was sick exchanged back later that night. 

Wednesday just ran around trying to finish everyone’s lessons 

Thursday was weekly planning and some more teaching

Friday we had district meeting and then the other elders took our car for a doctors appointment so we were on bike mobbin in the streets. 

Saturday ran around trying to make sure everyone was good for church!

Sunday hardly anyone came to church :/ but Mercedes and her daughter Roselyn were baptized! It was an amazing experience to witness the two of them really wanting to make an eternal covenant and open up the gate for them. The spirit was there and they are going to be a great addition to the branch! Later that night we had dinner with the sickest Samoan family the Sitalas just hung with my boi Jason  for the rest of the night. 

Love you guys! Have a great week!

Week #81

This week was good! Not a lot happened till the very end of the week so we coolin now. 

Last Monday we went to the old abandoned zoo up in Griffith Park, we found a way into the monkey cages so we just explored all p day. Later that night had dinner and did service with the homie Vasquez fam. Got sick came home and knocked out. 

Tuesday I was sick pretty much all day so we did the best we could with getting g out onto the streets. Ended up making a bunch of baptismal folders for everyone. 

Wednesday still sick, had interviews with President and sister Haynie. Came home just kept working on the baptismal folder then went out and had a couple of lessons with our baptismal dates. 

Thursday still sick luckily weekly planning, then more lessons with our baptismal dates.

Friday we had district meeting. Finally started feeling better. Left my Book of Mormon on top of the car she took a nasty spill onto paramount Blvd. going about 30.. she’s all good tho. Had Chavdog for lunch has bomb guacamole again. Finally Got out and smashed. Finally. 

Saturday we went and had a lesson with our baptismal dates and then finally got them up to the VC! Right after the VC with them we called some other investigators and they said they were on their way up to the VC! We had an awesome times with them! There was a big change from the beginning of being on temple grounds till they left. At the beginning they were all so mad at each other then by the end they were all happy and wanting to get married in the temple and committed us to come to their sealing whenever it will be...

Church wasn’t peaceful or relaxing, we were running around making sure all the people were in their right classes and everyone was enjoying it. Then the senior missionaries in our ward came in clutch with sack lunches from us. After just worked the rest of the day.

That’s about it homies love you all have a good week!

Week #80

This week was off the main let me tell you! Got to my new area which I am double covering. We cover the city of South Gate for Spanish and then the top half of the mission in Samoan. It’s sick. Plus I get to the area and we have 9 baptismal dates for the month of April. We have been running around teaching everyone and just making sure everyone is still good to be baptized!

Last Monday we went to the science center to see a king tut exhibit with a bunch of his jewelry and boxes are crap, it was a cool thing to do! Won’t be able to see that stuff again unless I go to egypt! S/O to Donald LaPlante for the tix and going with us!

Tuesday was transfers. Got my new companion, Elder Salazar from Tennessee! He has been in the area for about 6 months so he knows it really well! We just went to work and taught like 3 lessons to our baptismal dates! Plus had tacos dorados, boy is it good to be back. 

Wednesday just same working really hard and just teaching all off. These homies started meeting Samoan members and the first phrase I have learned is “fai fai le mu” it means take it easy. Perfect. 

Thursday was weekly planning trying to figure out how we aren’t going to let anyone slip through the cracks.  Just went out. And taught some more. 

Friday we had a zone meeting then a district meeting inside of that. We made an initiative to bring our investigators to the church for chapel tours. Then after the. Zone had lunch but it. Was pretty much a big bucket sesh. Ni modo. Later that. Night we had plans to teach her our most solid baptismal date but she lives alone so. We need to bring a male with us, couldn’t find anyone so we had the idea to have hermana Olga Chavez pick her and her two kids up and go to the church for a chapel tour and OLGA CHAVDOG came through! It was a good lesson and we set a baptismal date with her 10 year old daughter! Then we went to Chavdogs house for dinner with her bomb guacamole 

Saturday ran around teaching again and making sure everyone was coming to church helped our Samoan homie with a baptismal date Saunigalotu make and prepare some taro leaves for whatever they are gonna make with them for. Sunday

Sunday was good! Not everyone was there but we had a good number show up! One of the members brought his non member girlfriend. We sat down and taught her during the second hour and set a baptismal date with her! After church we went and had dinner and it was pretty much just carne asada, it’s good to be back. 

Love you all hope you have a good week!
