But for pday we played basketball like usual. We had a family home evening right after dinner with the Nichols family and the Lewis family they have a rock wall in there house it's crazy cool! It's swagbabydope 😜 but we had a good lesson with them and there cute little kids that were running around everywhere crazy.

Tuesday was a good day we had district meeting which was awesome, elder morales are DL warned us about earth quakes, which was kinda freaky cause maybe he had some divine revelation on warning us. But district meeting was good we talked about how to began teaching points. And then after we went to Wendy's and got fat !!! 😃👍... lots of 🏃🏃 coming up. Elder cullimore and I actually run 2 miles every other day, it's super easy to run down here it's crazy!!. After that we went tracting all day, we met some awesome people and taught some lessons on the doorstep. But after dinner we went and had a lesson with sister tooker and jene, good lessons there awesome people! That night we went and had stake president splits and I went with brother bounds and we went finding while elder cullimore went and had a lesson with the Noriegas. It was fun we didn't really find anybody but we had a good conversation and he is a really cool guy. After the splits we went finding again Tuesday is usually our finding day. It was good though let some awesome people and worked on my people skills.

Wednesday was a really crazy good day we went up to hoopa and willowcreek we had a really good lesson with the nelsons, our awesome investigators, Mr. nelsons is battling with cancer so he and his wife is going through a really hard time. But he is wanting answers now cause the end is near for him 😢 but after that we went finding and had a lesson with darla marshal her son was murdered so we were trying to comfort her with that, hoopa is a crazy place, but after that we had a lesson with Donna bassi and showed her a video and talked about homeless people haha, she cares for them.

Friday was weekly planning day, and we went with the past bishop to help this lady clean all of her garden beds out and it was fun, I actually admit that I like gardening haha, it took 4 hours though but it was good, and after we had correlation with brother visser he is a interesting guy, we helped him after move some heavy wood then we had dinner and then went to a less active house and showed him a ARP video and did his dishes for him and had a pretty fun time with him he is like 25 awesome guy. But after that we just went back to the apartment and retired for the day, 

Saturday was crazy we helped this woman clean her storage unit out and put it into the moving truck cause they are moving to Oregon, it was fun except for the brown recluse spiders everywhere nasty 😷 but it was good we had a lesson with the Owen family and we finished the restoration with them, mrs Owen is just trying to understand since she grew up Jewish not believing in Christ but she is coming closer and closer, and her son is awesome he already knows a lot about the gospel. But after that there dog randomly decided to try to bite my face off so that wasn't to good it kinda hurt got a fat lip and cut my cheek open. That was pretty crazy 😬 but after that awesome lesson we had finding all day Saturday down in fresh water, that night we had dinner with the macllelens family and there house is in this forest way down there, there house is so pretty and huge I was jealous, we had a really awesome dinner with them, there son Charlie is crazy haha he is 11 and he is e smartest kid I have ever met, he builds legos and makes the most amazing things out of them, I think he is smarter then me.

Sunday was good had church and talked with our ward mission leader and yeah, after church we went finding all day and had dinner with the seits they made amazing tri-tip and shrimp and potatoes and broccoli it was amazing since this whole week we have been getting pizza 🍕 gross. But yeah we had dinner with the zone leaders as well. But yeah today we might go up to a beach somewhere up north for pday idk yet, but I think the one thing I learned this week was having faith no matter what situation even if your at the lowest part of your week or your life that faith will bring you up with the savior and Heavenly Father knows that you are trying and he will bless you, he promises as we do are best he will bless us, and I have definitely seen that this week. But yeah that was my week !!
