August 19, 2024 - 52nd Email - One year ago i was still a missionary

 It's pday so that means its time for another email

Dang this week went by fast

Craziest thing was probably hitting a year out on the mission on tuesday

I have 11 months left now as of the 23rd this week so thats wild its only downhill from here (jkjk)

It was cool tho telling people "yeah ive been out a year now as of today" and theyre all like wow happy birthday

So here i am and im just chillin

There was some stuff that went down in my zone (and thats a whole crazy story on its own that ill leave up to the interpretation of the reader) and the districts got moved around so now one of the tech elders is a district leader on top of being a tech elder and covering three areas lol

That sounds fun

Honestly pretty normal week where we did a lot of contacting

Something cool that happened was that presidente luna from the mission presidency came to the ward to talk about the plan of salvation and missionary work so that was super cool and these two guys pulled up after the activity and we did a good chapel tour and it ended up going until like 9:30  but its ok

Ok so friday we had planned to visit our friends in the mountains cuz its far and we get there and they arent home which was depressing so we drove away but then i was like nah bro we boutta go back so we went back and one person was there and we taught him and then later we committed the family to church over phone and guess what they didnt come to church but thats ok because it wasnt a total waste of 2 and a half hours in the mountains because we at least talked to one person

Saturday i went on exchanges to english land so that was cool it was super fun and we had a few good lessons and set up for people to come to church

Then on sunday absolutely 1 person we conmitted to church of the like 20 actually came

But its ok because we mass texted slightly interested people sunday morning and we got 3 other people there so we were chillin

We also had dinner with a family in the ward on sunday and it was cool she gave us some gossip on goofy stuff missionaries have done in the past and it was WILD

and then we had a pretty regular evening

Today for pday we played pickleball at the church did a fun tournament with the zone it was cool i lost but i put up a good fight

Ok thats basically it lol

Cant believe ive been in california for a year just yesterday i was living in a single family house in victorville with absolutely no idea what i was doing and now im in san bernardino in the ghetto with only slightly more of an idea of what im doing Jesus has fr taken the wheel
