This week was really good! Ran out of toilet paper and had to use paper towels.... but it was was seriously off the chains!! Also sorry didn’t send this last week we were busy shredding on bikes but this is for the last 2 weeks!

Monday just went bowling and played basketball with the boys. 

Tuesday finished up teaching the twins and Sandra everything to get them ready for their baptism and they were all ready and wanting to do it! 

Wednesday started my plan.... it’s disgusting. Then took the other elders bikes so they could use our car for something. We only rode our bikes for 15 mins and g got a flat... had to walk the rest of the day it was chill tho. Didn’t get a whole lot done cause we spent the majority of the day walking from appointment too appointment 

Thursday was weekly planning and just finding. 

Friday we had an awesome district meeting  then Chavdogs for lunch then had the baptismal interviews for Gabby Jenny and Sandra! 

Saturday was the day of their baptism it was awesome! The spirit was there and a lot of people came to support them! After there was a Samoan party for a dude that just got home from his mission. I think they gave about 17 pounds of food! After went to Sandra’s house for more food..

Sunday all 5 people over. The last two weekend were confirmed! Then after church Gregg from my last area was baptized!! It was awesome! Right after that there was another baptism for the other elders in the Rama and we gave the missionary moment. Then we sang with the youth from the Lynwood and South Gate branch in a youth fireside. Right after I had the awesome privilege to skype the youth that are preparing to go on missions in my home state! It was a cool experience and I hope I helped someone decide to go have the best experience of their lives!
