The last week before.....craziness!

So this week was the last week before things get really crazy. I went on 2 exchanges this week. One I was here in Rancho with Elder Cannon (he goes home with me) and the other I was in Ontario (the one over here) with Elder Nielsen. It is so much fun being able to serve with so many different Elders even if it is just for a day. It has been awesome.

So pretty much you have my week there. I was able to teach a couple less active families in the Tongan ward on Wednesday and on Thursday we did some service and had dinner with a cool investigator family. 

The rest of our time was spent finding...

This week is transfers so we are prepping and stressing over all of those shenanigans. Trying to get everything down to a science so that it is a breeze for everyone. 
Today we went on a hike that is what the pictures are of....

Not much else to report. Any questions??... no like actually if you have questions I would love to answer them... it gives me a direction to write in.

In unrelated and mildly unimportant news... 3 of my former companions are or will be married by the end of the week hahaha yikes.

Hope all is well back home!

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!

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
