Week 26: July 4

Hey family!! 

How art thou? Did you guys make it home already?? I miss you! How was it good to be home?? Well I got a new companion his name is elder southwick and he is from Springville haha just like my other one was they actually new each other which is pretty cool. But I love my new companion. He is super cool, he is actually related to some southwicks so up here so that's super cool they are a members In our ward with a huge house they are super awesome people. I love them.  It he has 1 older brother and that's it. 

This week was actually pretty good. My new companion like to keep me uplifted. But I got him on Tuesday and he unpacked and got all his things set in the apartment, then we deep cleaned the whole apartment cause my last companion just destroyed everything. But yeah that night we had dinner with the jones family and they are actually moving down right by the Dolans. Right next to Enoch the town right next to it, so maybe they will know them sometime. 

But on Wednesday we got up and worked out and then we went out and I showed home the area and tried to go see some potentials so that was pretty okay. Nobody really answers out here. But yeah haha. 

On Thursday we had district meeting it was good, I got upgraded to senior companion so that awesome!! But yeah them after we had an appointment with people in Clearlake about 30 minutes away from Lakeport that's where we hold district meeting, his name is Oscar and he was baptized about 8 months ago and we are teaching him the new member lessons so that's sweet. And then after that we headed back to Clearlake and I went to a dinner with the relief society haha it was a Hula dance themed thing, so that was exciting. And then we went to see some people after that, most weren't home and the others were busy and didn't want to see us. 

But on Friday we meant with out investigator tami and we taught her the plan of salvation so that was super cool. It was a good lesson she seems pretty interested with it. We will meet with her again next week on Friday, we haven't been able to meet with murice ford for awhile he works 6 days a week and there all night shifts so that's really hard on him. But we won't stop trying of course 😜 then we went and weekly planned for a while and got all the people we are going to meet this week together and put them in the calendar. Then after that we had dinner with ourself a member brought by a pizza for us so that was nice of them. 

And then, Saturday we went up to blue lakes which i have been told it's over 300 hundred feet deep and the natives in the area won't go to that lake cause of some lore. So that's cool the lakes look really beautiful there not that big though but a ton of people were there with vacation homes. We went and tried seeing a to. Of less actives and investigators in there and Upperlake. Most never answered, a couple did but hey weren't the people we were looking for which was kinda awkward. But oh well we need to find out where these people are. But we did that all day Saturday than went and had dinner with the larsons and the southwicks. Played some pool, I am getting pretty good so when I get back (dad) we are going to play a game! 

Yesterday was good we went to church and ward council and planned a bbq for a ward potluck to find some people to teach. And church was good I blessed the sacrament it was good tons of visitors. But yeah we had dinner at the larsons again and there son Invited us to go play golf with them, so we might do that today. And them might have a water balloon fight with the district and play some crazy games basketball. But yeah that was my week love you guys!!
