Hey all you people

So ima be honest

Like nothing happened this week

We just did a ton of service i feel like

Monday we had lessons and junk

Apparently tuesday we were at someones house for two hours but i dont remember that lol

Wednesday morning we helped the guy who burned himself last week (brother clifford) rake leaves in his yard

The problem was tho its been insanely windy these last few days so there were constant gusts and there were these annoying (but cool) purple leaves that were just absolutely everywhere and if you raked them theyd just go flying and make a bigger mess but we managed to clean up a lot especially in the backyard where there was less wind

We also had dinner with members in the english branch and they had family over from wyoming so that was cool and the food was way good she made some rice and casserole

Then another member on friday made some fried chicken and it was epic

Anyway thursday we spend the entire morning and early afternoon up where people actually live because we have zone council and also we went to bishop's storehouse becuz we were getting food for our friend's family (they had two boys that just got baptized) and even though we didnt get back until like 4 pm it was worth it to see how happy they were to get the food it was really sweet

Also on wednesday elder mejia totally left his tag at home for like three hours bro was walking around with no tag

Uh what else

Good english class thursday

We were supposed to start english class on tuesday but one of our regulars was celebrating his birthday and hes like the only one who actually drives a car of the group so if he couldnt go he couldnt pick everyone up so we just didnt do it

Friday we exchanged with the zone leaders and i went with elder croft because he cant drive and neither can mejia so i can only go on exchanges with elder croft and not davison because they need someone who can drive

So we were hitting up people up in desert shores and we found a motel and so we were thinking this motel is probably FULL of hispanics just getting to the us but we start knocking and we get through about five doors and ALL of them speak chinese and idk about you guys but i dont speak chinese i mean i only know like three words and i dont know how useful the word for ice cream is for spreading the gospel so we just gave up

We did a service that morning too cuz we went to this nonmember lady who just randomly texted us asking for help and we go over and she said she had missionaries do service a long time ago and looking at her notes they did do service but apparently they never so much as told her the name of our church so we taught her a little bit of the gospel and stuff it was good

Saturday we had a friend (her husband is a member) who fed us some GOOD food (steak and chicken) and we also went to borrego that day

So sunday we're inviting people to church and we get a call from a member of the branch who tells us we forgot to set up the bingo hall so we had to rush to church and set up everything it was lowkey kinda funny cuz we had the second counselor of the mission presidency speak in our sacrament meeting and we had the largest turnout EVER as a branch (29 people) plus lots of friends and one asked if she could get baptized so we are working with her to set up a date

The message was awesome and presidente luna spoke to the youth too it was way cool

Also we didnt go but the english branch had like 45 people there because there were three families visiting they were crammed in that little chapel of theirs

Yeah i guess we did do a lot this week in hindsight after writing it all down i just didnt really think about it

We read moroni 7:40-48 with the family we ate dinner with on saturday its really good and theres a new video about it on gospel library it talks about faith hope and charity its cool

Ok bye lol

Pictures!
