Hey everyone!! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! Mine was awesome! We made some dinner for this lady that we are teaching and made another dinner for this guy we are teaching. I'm pretty much Gordon Ramsey. We then went over to a family in our wards house and had an awesome Thanksgiving dinner. That was probably one of my most productive Thanksgivings. We also went bowling last P day and man it felt good to hit the lanes again. I love the smell of grease mixed with pizza with a hint of cigarette smoke when you walk into a bowling alley. Other than Thanksgiving and bowling it was a pretty normal week. We had an exchange and did normal missionary work. On Sunday we were at church for 6 hours and at the end of our last meeting the sister missionaries in our ward begged us to go to ward choir because they needed more people. We thought that we would be nice and sit in. They put me with the tenors and it's literally just me and this other guy. Someone had the bright idea of ha...

Hey everyone! Hopefully everyone's week went well! I had a great week because it was zone conference and I got to see all the elders in my old zone. We had Elder Ringwood of the quorum of thr seventy come and talk to us. It was so awesome, you could feel the spirit so strong while he was in the room.  It was a pretty average and solid week. We went to visit our friends in this gated apartment complex and we usually have to wait for a car to come in the gae for us to get in. So we waited at the gate for like 5 minutes and no cars were coming. We then started heading back to where we parked. We got in our car and and as soon as I shut the door a car started driving towards the gate. I look at my companion and busted out of the car like secretariat at the Kentucky derby. My companion droped his Book of Mormon so it was up to me to get inside the gate. I was hauling, I had the help of angels propelling my feet. The gate was about to close and I squoze through at the very last minute. I...

Hey everyone!!! I hope your week was fantasmic!!! Mine went by pretty quick because of all the exchanges we have been doing. We had three this week so I'm pretty exhausted haha. It's kind of weird because it still feels like it's august so it doesn't really feel like the holiday season haha. At first I was really bummed that I couldn't my favorite holiday movies like The Grinch with Jim Carrey, but it's OK now because me and my companion literally quote that entire movie daily hahaha along with other movies and TV shows. I have been having a blast with the YSA ward and going on campus! We go to campus with a whiteboard, and have a question on it. Like this week was the question "What is your favorite pet?" It's such a great icebreaker and we have met some pretty cool people by doing it. One day we spent 6 hours on campus with the whiteboard and it was so fun!  A funny thing that happened this week was when I was on an exchange with Eder Burton. We ...

Hey everyone!!!! This past week flew by for some reason! On Monday we got to go to a members street Halloween party and have some tacos. Apparently Jennifer Pedranti lives at the house that the taco truck was at. For those of you who don't know who Jennifer Pedranti is, apparently she is a big deal and is on Real Housewives of OC. So that was kind of crazy haha.  Finding on campus has been so fun!!! We kind of get to let loose and act our age again when we are talking to these students. This past week we did a gratitude board, so we would go up to a bunch of people and have them write what they were grateful for. It was so awesome to be able to see all of these different things that they would write down, and it was fun to talk about the those things with them. We also had back to back exchanges which I think is the reason everything felt so fast. On Saturday morning we got to play soccer in the morning at this nice field with a bunch of guys from the ward and their friends which w...
