Hi Everybody!
This week went way fast!
I was introduced to the Wrangler Burger
at Zips, and the Huckleberry milkshake, which is amazing! And the
burger is only $3 on thursdays! so weekly plannings gonna start off
with a bang from now on!
The Mitmas are still looking for a
house and they might have found one near the church! we're really
excited about that!
Faustin and Gus came to church and it
was such an amazing experience for both of them and they're both
excited to come to General Conference!
I was able to teach Faustin about the
sacrament and LDS.org translate is coming in handy so much with them!
The Cornwell Family is an interesting
bunch. the mother (sister Cornwell) is really working towards coming
back to church, but health problems make it difficult, same with the
Daughter in law (Coral) She is awesome and working towards baptism.
The son (Michael) is kinda a funny guy, he has a strange sense of
humor and a firm testimony of the church, but he doesnt like coming
to church and he really likes studying deep doctrine and he is mildly
obsessed with the Apocrypha (dead sea scrolls and such). The fun
thing is, during my studies i found D&C 91, and he was like, I
told you! But it basically states that they are true but not
completly and you should only study them with the holy spirit. Very
interesting.

We have found a lot of fun (not so fun)
experiences with the bus system and we're still working on figuring
out how to effectively use the buses to reach the far parts of our
area.
One of these experiences, we decided to
go to a part of our area that nobody has gone to for a long time, we
were curious as to why. so we decided to go to the wealthy part of
our area and we walked through the entire area and there was
literally no one. and the 2 or 3 people we did see and tried to talk
to were lifted up in the pride of their hearts. We aren't going to go
there anymore. it cost us several hours of proselyting time and the
people were exceedingly stiff necked and hard hearted. It was a good
experience to have though. and we ended up having to wait way too
long for the bus. but we talked to a lot of people on the buses and
might have helped someone.

Another interesting experience, We have
a less active member named Starla, who is engaged to a member of a
screamo band and we went to check in on her and invite her to church.
So her friend answered the door and then said he'd go ask her and she
said to come upstairs and talk to her, so we followed him up and got
to meet her fiance's band and they started playing and we were
like... uhh... help..? and she basically tried to get us to stay and
we're like "we have an appointment to go to, hope to see you at
church!" and then left. then we were across the street checkin
in on an LA member and we could hear them playing and it was like,
well okay then, pretty cool, but we're missionaries!
Then later that night we sent out our
daily Breadz scripture and she responded and it was pretty weird and
we think she might have been drunk texting the missionaries! it was
super funny and way weird! Loving spo compton!

I am possibly getting to play a
melophone for Brightly beams our fathers mercy. it feels so good to
play again! I miss french horn so much!
That's about all for this week!
One thing that's way cool that i
learned this week: Marking up your scriptures is good if
it means something, it does you no good to color your scriptures
unless it means something and you make it so you can see why it means
something. ive been working really hard on that this week.
Love you all so much! keep the faith
and know that God will take care of everything if you do!
