 Hey

Ok so this week was wild and you are not prepared for this lore dump

Alright lets do some research in my schedule that we totally reported really well

Monday evening we revisited some people we tracted. None of them were interested lul

Then visited a referral and she was cool but didnt answer the door at her return appt bruv

Chewsday was weird so we did an exchange with the rialto 3rd ward elders and rhey on bike but lucky for me i didnt have to go on bike this time good thing too cuz it was a gazillion degrees kelvin outside and elder strong was beet red when he came home and was pretty much asleep almost instantly but i was chillin in da car with elder ploeger so we were nice to em and drove em to dinner we ate at a burgar place down in colton was pretty chill but the burga was so big i couldnt finish it definitely top 10 burgs ive ever eaten tho

Had some good lessons, funny thing happened while we were tracting a guy rides by on a scooter and elder plunger goes "ay u want to get baptized" and bro goes like "huh" in the most memey way possible and then plogmeger is again like "yo wanna get baptized" and bro is like i already am and keeps going and so at this point elder pogger is like dang that works sometimes so we knock the next house and then we turn around and get completely jumpscared by this guy and we're left utterly flummoxed but he came back and was like ayo sorry i just wanna say im already baptized and we're like ok dope u wanna learn about our church and hes like yeah thats cool and we talked to him for a solid while cool kid bro was like 17 but he looked 25 idk if thats a good thing but it was surprising

Anyway

Wensday we were bored in the evening so we went tracting some apartments cuz thats the natural progression so we knock a house and this ladys like om gosh yes come talk to me and we talked to her and somehow got in a full restoration and she was like so eatin it up until we asked u wanna come to church and ladys like "nah lol" so uh yeah was chill tho

Lowkey something ive been tryna do is use da book of mormon more in my teaching bucuz we gots lots of pppl that already know all the lessons lol so i was like aight wanna just read the book of mormon and thats getting everyone to open up to us a lot more and we be makin frends big time especially with recent converts who we just dont know what to teach lol

Throwsday we were tryna get in contact with the stake presidency because apparently there was a stake recent convert temple trip that our bishop knew nothing about and as far as the zl's were concerned it was still happening but we only told one recent convert lol (oscar) so we were like yeah we dk the deets but pull up to the temple thirsday at 6 pm therell be people there most likely and he was like yeah idk i havent heard anything about it so we call the bishop and hes like yeah this is the first ive heard of it so at this point im trippin like weve known about this trip for like a month and as it turned out oscar is a dawg (like he barks and stuff) because he went to the temple on his own not knowing if people would be there and all the recent converts in the stake bailed on him except the first counselor in the stake presidency was there and guided him around and he absolutely loved it if only we coulda gone tho rip

Also so at like 8 pm we were supposed to meet a referral lady and we pull up to her apartment complex but we cant get thru the gate bro told us the gate code and we tried it on the like 3 keypads next to the gate and it didnt work at all and then finally we give up and just call her to let us in and she comes out and is like wut the code dint work and we like nah dawg and so she types in the code and it WORKS like literal witchcraft or something and we just cannot believe what we are seeing like does it require a magic touch or what like bruddah so we're like aight and forgot about the whole situation and they were super cool from peru and they had been to our church before and they were really happy when i said id been to peru before and yeag

Friday we deep cleaned our apartment (lemme tell ya it needed cleaning) it was more a throw stuff out kinda cleaning tho

But it was also lowkey kinda a weird day

So because of political junk going on they canceled our fathers day activity in our ward which was sad but they also moved the cleaning of the church to friday evening (instead of saturday morning) and oscar was gonna come tracting with us at the exact time they moved church cleaning so we helped clean the church and dint do any tracting lol

BUT we tried again on saturday and we tracted with oscar at 2 pm and it was chill

Then we tracted with an hermana in the ward later in the evening and she was sayin how ppl arent opening the dore because of immigration which is kinda wild because like

We're just regular dudes

But ok

We got a referral from missionaries in fontana that was completely and definitely not interested in coming to church at all

Oh yeah

I forgot to mention

So elder strong went home

(Currently companionless)

He had a little

Medical emergency

So as punishment for needing surgery hes going to go get surgery

We drove him to the ontario airport at 7:30 in the am and i got stuck with the willow branch elders (i was with elder luna again)

Elder strong is now chilling with his family as i am typing this

So basically our sacrament attendance was really low like in general like we had half the usual attendance so something ive been tryna stress in my friends is that u gotta have faith that u will b fine if u go 2 church but obviously ultimately in the end its their decision

I also got to go to the willow branch sacrament which also had low attendance but somehow not as bad as i was expecting considering theyre like

A branch

And im serving in

A ward

But its aight

(They also didnt cancel their fathers day activity so im a little jealous about that)

But fathers day was great got to talk to my fam and update them on all this lore going on but basically at about 4 i dipped on luna and flores lol and went with elders carwin and nelson because our dinners were at the same time so for the rest of the evening i was chillin with english missionaries and it was fun

That was pretty much my week hope u enjoyed reading but transfers are this week and im going into my last one so we'll see what happens

Luv u guys peace
