THE LAST.....

So in case there is any confusion on when I come home.... yesterday was my last Skype call home....

But first the rest of the week. So on Tuesday we had district meeting as per usual. The we did some proselyting .... almost usual. Got to teach a less active guy in the Tongan ward.

Then on Wednesday we had the 4 week meeting for new missionaries and their trainers. That was super cool. We get to see them all again and ask them how its going and what works well and what doesn't that sort of thing. It was awesome.
 Thursday we had MLC. Also awesome. Me and Elder Millano on the Book of Mormon in lieu of chapter 5 of Preach my Gospel. It was a really good meeting. I learned a lot. President Hobbs says some very profound stuff... and some less profound stuff... Like and I quote "Sister Hobbs often leads me astray." hahahah.Then that evening we got to teach Terrell. He is doing good. We had to push his baptism back to the 21 but he should still be good.

Friday weekly planning for most of the day.

Saturday... just regular proselyting. Then we taught Terrel again.

Yesterday I got to skype.. and then had a huge Tongan dinner! The crab legs are the left overs.  That's about it!





Ofa Atu!

So this week I spent about as much time in my area as I did out of it. I was on exchanges 3 days this week, so I don't have a lot to say... but I did get to go back to my old area in Apple Valley on Saturday that was weird! Crazy to be back up there. 

I am well and fine. Sorry this is such a lame email.... next week should be better though. I am not going on any exchanges so that make it easier to tell y'all stuff hahah

The Tongan phrase up there is something the Tongans like to tell us.... it pretty much means "Eat 'till you throw up".... hahahah hasn't happened to me yet.... but we have come close... they like to stuff us. hahaha

Love

WHOOOO!!

Yikers Scoobey! What a week!

So my life is just always busy now. And I spend most of my time on exchanges!

Tuesday regular day.... met with President. Talked about how transfers went and stuff like that. Then begin exchanges.

Wednesday - I spent in Chino Hills and Pomona. So I thought that Rancho was a Rich area... Chino Hills is a rich area! (I don't like it) But Pomona is more my speed... kinda ghetto( nothing like the desert though). I had a great day with Elder Memmott. We a had a cool experience where a couple appointments fell through so we decided to go tracting. YSA member we had with us was kinda like "you wanna tract here in Pomona?.....but its ghetto, ain't nobody going to talk with us." I left it in Elder Memmott's hands because it was his area and he said "Yes this is where we need to be. This is where God wants us to be." and we found 3 potential investigators in like 40 minutes... Probably a record for the Chino Zone! hahah so a lesson was learned: tract where God tells you too!

Thursday I Spent back up in the Desert ( my second native land) with Elder Kleinman. We did some service in the am and the afternoon was filled with regular missionary stuff like teaching.

Friday - just planing and coordinating

Saturday - okay you know those missionaries that you hear about that do amazing things and work literal miracles?! yeah they actually exist! So all mothers that can read this, please try to raise your sons and daughters to be like them! You know those other missionaries that you hear weird stories about? yeah they exist too, don't raise your sons to be like that hahahah
We got to see a couple people that we usually don't and got some appointments set up in the Tongan ward, which is a lot harder to do than you would think. When there is a birthday...the whole ward, less active and active, goes to the party... so if there is a birthday party in a city like an hour away that is where everyone is. hahah

Sunday - Church and a Tongan dinner... kinda like a football game with 4 quarters and an overtime... just glad that it's not like hockey with sudden death at the end!

Ofa Atu!
