 Hey

This week was pretty cool and pretty normal

Well

As normal as a trio covering two areas can get

On monday we had a return appt with this catholic guy

He was pretty knowledgeable and i think we taught him a lot of stuff

But like

Idk

He was weird

He said he believes in catholicism but doesnt believe in the catholic church

Basically he believes in the teachings of the catholic church but not what they do

Which makes no sense

Because like

If bro believes in catholic teachings

Then he's trusting that catholic leaders are called by God

But i think hes somehow detached the teachings of the church from the people who the teachings come from

Which is like

If you dont believe the leaders are called from God why do you believe what they say

But he wasnt budgin so

Its aight

Then we had to go over to our friend Anas house because they were goofy goobers and didnt come to church and she said it was cuz she didnt have nice clothes to wear lol so we had to explain to her that it doesnt really matter that much she chillin

(She ended up working the next sunday which was sad)

Tuesday we taught the ten commandments to a cute family was fun but they still scared to come to church because they dont know anyone but we tryna tell em they wont get to know anyone if they dont come to church lol so weve decided we're just gonna invite a lot of members of the ward over to their house as we pass by for lessons so they get to know everyone and theyll feel comfortable at church so we tryna invite diff ppl every time

Also we confirmed that our friend sara is getting baptized on the 4th, next sunday! Soups excited for her shes been taught for sooooo long

Also helped our friend oscar set up his fakily history account so he can start doing some temple work! Really fun stuff

Also we got a referral from a family thats kinda going thru it rn and we had an absolutely fire lesson with em because theres two sisters and one of the sisters has 2 daughters and the sisters are baptized but not the kids and they havent been to church in a long time and want to come back and it was all fun until we realized they dont live in our area lol

Either of them haha

We had to pass them off to the rialto 3rd ward hermanas like what the heck guys 

Its chill tho the daughters are both getting baptized really soon now so we hyped for that

Also wednesday night we were at the church building and it turned out an english ward young men's was cleaning up some firewood just... sitting around in the courtyard for some reason in a giant pile

I mean it had been there for at least a month we just never questioned it

So we decided to help out because it was kinda a mess and it was pretty fun to chill with some english youth lol

(They all watch way too much brainrot)

Just picked up all the pieces and threw em in some storage room on the stage out of sight out of mind amirite

Thursday and friday we did a lot of work in elder luna's area

Saturday we contacted tons of people in our area and visited the same family from tuesday and brought our recent convert oscar with us

Then we had a wedding that evening for our recent converts jafet and osiris! They got baptized when i first got here, theyre dawgs

They were already married legally (otherwise they couldnt get baptized) but they just did the reception at the church last saturday! Was a really cool activity and we even got another young family we're teaching to come too. Although the dj was being crazy with throwing in airhorns and other random sound effects wayyyyyyy too often it was honestly really funny

Also i tripped on a chair (idk how that happened) and i pretty much fell face first on the ground in front of the entire ward so that happened

We didnt report anything for sunday lol oops

We had both sacrament meetings as normal, and we also had a noche de hogar where we ate some awesome food (especially the crepes) but they didnt start the movie until really late and we had to leave for a lesson lol

Anyway thats my week

Prettt chill week all around

Crazy this is the last full week of the transfer, i really hope i stay here with elder strong but its pretty much set we aint gonna be a trio cuz the ap's asked elder luna if we need a parking pass to park in our apartment, which means theyre bringing in another car.

Ok bye lol pray this baptism happens

Pictures!

Pretty tree from last week forgot to post

Aight thats it
