Week 30: August 1

Hey guys whats going on? I hope that everything is going well back home, and also with the extended family as well :)

But to start out with my week it was pretty good on Monday we had a pretty good Pday we just went to the church and played volleyball and basketball of course i am not that very good at volleyball though which is pretty sad, But I am trying! But that night after wonderful pday we went to the lab-rashes and taught them about setting good spiritual goals with there family. It went really well they enjoyed it a lot and I think that they will come back to church one of these days but they are a really good family, I have enjoyed teaching them and seeing them personally grow, yeah it was good though.

So on Tuesday it was a good day as well we had district meeting and it was very good, one of my favorite missionaries is leaving which is really sad cause he is the funniest guy ever, he always asks me how he can get huge and get ripped so when he goes home he can be the best looking when he goes home so that will be really good haha. But I taught in that district meeting on how to know that we are successful missionaries and how we can always have that thought in the back of our minds at all times because most of the time while being out here we lose hope and get discouraged and get down but to remain up beat and to have that hope that we are making a difference in somebody's life. But after that we went and and bought everyone pizza because we had gift cards to the little ceasars here haha. And it was so good! but after that we went to kelseyville to help the other elders with service for there investigator who actually got baptized on Saturday and it was a very good baptism, but we helped clean out this trailer so that her friend could live there and it was a very big mess but that is just fine haha, we scrubbed our hands off and tried our best to clean the place up, That is one of the reasons why I am grateful I love to work and clean and doing service because if I didn't like doing service then I would have hated life very much.  But after that we went to denis and vessas house that night and taught them about the law the chastity haha a very fun one to teach but it was a good lesson I thought.

Then on Wednesday we went one exchanges and I went to Ukiah!! To my home ! it was really good experience we went to an Indian reservation and we tried to see some people but sadly there weren't any people there that opened the door to us so we went back to Ukiah and went and did some finding and we had dinner with brother dean he didnt remember me which was sad but oh well I am quiet anyways so Idk how many people will actually remember me.

I went on exchanges with Elder Sorenson by the way he is like a hollister model he played football and he is a ripped guy so Thursday morning we worked our super hard lifting weights like pros ;) but after that we tried to go see some people but they didn't answer so then we drove back to Lakeport well close kinda to it we drove to blue lakes to exchange back it was a really good exchange I love Elder Sorenson he is an amazing funny guy. But after that we went and saw people in blue lakes and made our way down to Nice and Lucurne and saw a couple people we were able to set up some return app. so that is good. The day was long and good we did a lot of finding we went back to lakeport and tried to find more people tons of names we had dinner with the bolanders but JK they canceled so we just ate at our apartment which was fine.

And then on Friday we had weekyl planning and that was so much fun my favorite day!! Can you see my excitement well I guess you cant but oh well ;) But after that we had our ward potluck and that was really good it was at the library park I have a lot of pictures there so that is cool but a band come there every weekend and plays so we got to listen to some cool music and talk to people and eat some sandwiches which were really good but Oh I forgot we were dying in the heat all week haha. It got up to 110 degrees so that was pretty gross, A little to hot for my taste.

On saturday we went and saw a lot of people in lakeport and most of them were less actives and potential investigators, and then we didn't really have that much success. After that we went to a Chinese place with some less actives they took us there and we were able to talk with them they are a nice family. From there we went to the Baptism for the other elders and it was a very good baptism it was a really good experience.

Sunday we went to ward council at 7:45 it was good church was really food we talked about trying to be like Jesus and the millennium which is super interesting haha. I Cant wait! But after we went to have lunch with the Olsons and then we went to a farewell for a sister missionary the bishops daughter so that was really cool to see. And then we went to did our number for the weeek and it was awesome! but after that we went and tried to see Ryan a cool less active guy but he wasnt home so there’s that haha.

I love you guys! I hope the dog is good too of course :) tell the kids I say hello and that I love them And tell them I wont change to much haha I dont feel that different 😂
