Week 31: August 8

Hey what's up?

So is week was pretty lame we didn't really do much, umm we had PDAY that was super fun cause if was with the whole zone and we celebrated some birthdays for some missionaries and then we played some hard core basketball and frisbee and soccer that was pretty fun.

Tuesday was zone meeting it was good it was just a review on all he other stuff that was said before this last one, but then after we went to the Asian Buffett that was super good but my stomach isn't as big as it was before so I only could eat 2 plates which was super sad 😭 but after that we drove back to Lakeport and tried o see some people like brother Taylor but he is in Utah looking for a house to buy which is pretty cool, but after that we went back to our apartment and called the district leaders.

On Wednesday we had a huge service project we went deep into kelseyville and fireproofed this sisters home so we dug out huge bushes and cleaned up the yard it was super tiring especially digging out the roots but we caught a king snake and played with it for awhile so that was cool I also caught a huge lizard. But after that we cleaned up the bushes and we followed her to the dump and dumped aLl the stuff out. After that we went out and did some finding and and then we had ultimate frisbee with the elders. I love ultimate frisbee it was us 2 against other people and we still won it was awesome.

But then on Thursday we went up to nice and worked up there for a couple of hours it wasn't the good but we did talk to some people but it was good we then went to the church and looked up talks to read from at the church, Friday our main investigator told us that she didn't want us coming over for a while, so that was sad which sucked. But yeah we then went and weekly planned for the next week at the church with the other elders and we did transfer prediction cause Tuesday is transfers. And we just stayed at the church cause there was a baptism after for the other elders and it was really good. The spirit was strong. After we took pictures and then tried to go and see the Scott's but they were nt feeling well. So we will try next week. I gave myself a hair cut Thursday night so that's good, I am glad I can cut hair haha. It saves money.

But then Saturday we had finding in Lakeport and we got told to never come back a couple times which is pretty normal. But you know never give up even though we get rejected just like alma in Ammonihah, just keep going no matter what, the lord will provide a way, but that night we went to dinner at the olsons and my companion got his hair cut, and then after we went to the church to see if we were leaving or staying I am staying in Lakeport with elder southwick so that is okay. 😕

Then Sunday we had church and asked the members to give us names that we could go and visit so they gave us a couple names that we could go and visit.  It church was good we had a lesson on the final judgment. And I talked my Jared my favorite guy. But yeah after that we went and visited the labrashes and taught them about families so that was really good, we had dinner with the bishops last night and we helped the daughter get ready to go on a mission, cause she goes to he MTC on Wednesday so that's cool. so I read a ensign that I think you guys would like to read as a family it's called "Families and Prayer" By President Henry B. Eyring (September 2015 ensign) cause realizing it now families are the most important and we need to keep all of us together and make it through this great journey together.

Because without you guys adopting me where would I be??? Would I be like my brother ? Would I be like my father ? Even though I hear there doing better it doesn't matter, but you guys saved me from whatever life I would have if you Guys didn't come into my life and save me. I am beyond grateful for that and I love you guys so much, I know now that all you wanted was the best for me. I didn't see it but I thank you, families are wonderful and I will never let that out of my heart and I will never stop trying to help all my family even though I have a lot on both sides, but I know Heavenly Father was in the helping of my adoption because I don't even remember saying yes, but I know he was there in that, tell the kids I love them and I miss them a lot I had a dream about them last night haha. That's my shpill haha, love you guys.
