April 22nd, 2024 - 35th Email - I don't know what's happening anymore

Hey this week was chaos lol but it was so fun


So básicamente
Transfers were last week
And nothing happened
Like literally nothing happened
In my district two people changed and one companionship was discontinued
I'm still with elder jones
Elder Pittman and Elder Arvidson are stil together, our whole apartment is the same except for the fact that they're a trio now so Elder Cutler be pullin up
One of the sisters in my ward changed cuz one finished her mission and down in borrego springs there was one different elder
The english district is a bit more different but that doesn't really affect me so

Ok my week
Bees update
The bees all died pretty horrifically ngl
Well not really
This dude pulled up literally two seconds after I sent my email last monday to tell us they were gonna pull up to deal with the bees
So tuesday apparently they fumigated while we were out or something because we got home and there were a couple dozen dead bees on the floor and crawling from behind the fridge
So we go over to the laundry nook and there's like literally a hundred bees just on the ground it was actually slightly comical
So we humanely slapped them with the flyswatter and vacuumed them up
And now there's no more bee problem
So that's the end of the bees saga

Also we went to the temple on tuesday and that was really cool and me being a silly goofy goober forgot to take pictures
It was fun there was a little drama but its ok
We went for elder jones's friend that got baptized and usually we cant go if it's been over a month since they got baptized but we got special perms to go from the prez himself cuz the temple was undergoing maintenance

Anyway
Wednesday we did zone council
Usually zone council is on thursday but last week was goofy or something because they had mlc on thursday for some reason (mission leader council where zone leaders and sister training leaders go to san bernardino) so we had to move it and we got pizza because my district found hecka people the week before they fr deserved it and that little caesars hit different that day ngl
Then we found out about the trio so we had to build a bunk bed and a desk and a chair for the new guy so our deep cleaning took like three hours

Uhhhhhhh
On Thursday an Hermana in the ward gave us a ton of food
Like 12 packs of chicken and rice bowls that would last a super long time
And then she gave the other elders like 8 more
And then she called us later because she was afraid she didn't give us enough food
Like bro this food is gonna last us for weeks if we're fed consistently by members lol

Oh yeah Friday was so funny
We exchanged with elder pittman and elder arvidson because elder arvidson tore his acl a couple transfers ago and finally got an appointment to get a new knee brace
And I had to do a baptismal interview for them so I had to stay down so elder jones went with elder arvidson and I stayed with pitty
So basically they went up to san bernardino and realized the sister training leaders had actually already grabbed his new knee brace when they went to mlc on thursday so they had to drive down halfway to meet up with them then drive back up for his doctor appointment then drive back down so the exchange was only supposed to be until 1:30 but it ended up being until 5 lol

Ok also that's the day we found out transfer news that we were all staying
Then transfers were saturday
And elder soto is in borrego springs lol

Holy cow saturday was so dumb bruh
So we were tryna go to our dinner
But right now they have coachella going on
Which is this huuuuuuuuuge music festival going on in April in Coachella (we can see it from our apartment) and the member we were eating with happens to live in the neighborhood right next to it
So naturally the management was being very strict on parking in the neighborhood so people didn't just park there to go to coachella so they wouldn't let us in
This guy stops us and says in order to turn into the neighborhood we needed a pass, that we could get a picture of it from people that lived there, so we texted them to get the picture and we did but we ended up having to go and make a uturn and come back
We get back and the chill guy is gone and is replaced by goofy goobers who are mean and tell us that the picture doesnt work and even if they walked out with the physical pass they wouldn't let us in the neighborhood
We explained to them we're missionaries and stuff but they wouldn't buy it so we just dipped
The member told us he would go fight with them lol but we ended up not being able to make the uturn we made before cuz it was blocked off this time for some reason so we had to go really far before we were able to turn around and we just met up at the church building and followed him out of the church building and went in a different entrance to the neighborhood with chiller dudes that let us in
It was all worth it for the fire lasagna they made us I gobbled that up
Also on the way to the church we saw this gnarly uturn by this guy who just turned right into traffic and then someone else (who was probably following him) tried to do the same but a police officer pulled up and started yelling at the guy it was actually kinda funny ngl and he made us miss a green light

Anyway
On a high note 5 people in my ward got baptized yesterday, there was a couple that needed to get married and they weren't even planning on getting baptized until they saw how hard we were working to get them married so that was super awesome
Prezzy P himself pulled up so it was real exciting
They got married on Friday, it was actually really awesome, it was at the churcu building and our Obispo married them
They weren't our friends but still super stoked for that family

It was a fun week and this transfers going to be 7 weeks which will be pretty fun we're boutta get so much work done like D&C 11:3 says the field is ripe and ready to harvest

Yall should send me emails on how yall are doin it gets kinda lonely out here sometimes (just kidding but fr I want to hear how you guys are doin too!)
