Story 1: The other night Elder Ogden wanted some chocolate milk (it's called "promise land" very good) So we were looking for somewhere open after 9. So we were in a parking lot trying to figure out where to go, we get a call back from someone on fb. We'll I'm trying to talk to him in Spanish. The other three elders are talking about what grosery store is open so it was tricky to hear. Spanish is hard enough. He asked me if I spoke good Spanish. But we set up a visit for Tuesday. We were walking back in to our apartment and our neighbor is like "why you up so late". "milk and cookies run" "well if you wanna come smoke some weed come on up"  2: on Tuesday we had exchanges with the ZLs so the 4 of us went out for sushi. It was easy good! It was also Elder Langfords 1st time eating sushi so watching him with chop sticks was pretty funny!  OK this week went fast.  Thanksgiving was good. We picked up some food from a member and the 4 of us...

Story time ----------------- 1 On Wednesday I was on an exchange with Elder Kjar. His area is biking only, so ya I had to ride a bike. Not one of my strengths but that's OK it was alright. We were (on bikes) going around a neighborhood knocking on doors of people who had investigated the church in the past (that's still all we can do cuz of covid, no door to door). So anyway we go up to this one house, knock on the door. Some dude answered. We asked him if so and so was home. He looked at us for a sec. He said so and so was working. We told him we were the missionaries. He's like oh OK I thought you were the cops with your blinking red light on your bikes (cuz it was pretty dark). So you he thought we were cops looking for so and so.  2 On Tuesday I was on an exchange with Elder Krinkel. We were doing some FB calling. Someone answered and said they were having a pastor over on Friday to teach him about Jesus and The Bible. OK a little context for this next answer. I had a c...

OK so we'll start with the stories.  1 On Friday Elder Ogden and I were walking around a neighborhood looking for people to talk to. Some guy and his girlfriend walking the other way is like "Hey looking snazzy, very professional"  2 Yesterday morning we get a call from Leo. He said he can't come to church because he's meeting with a lawyer about his legal stuff. The thing is, in order to be babtized the investigator needs 3 church attendances. This was going to be his 3rd and we had his baptism planned for that night. So we called our ward mission leader. He's like OK let me call Leo. A couple minutes later mission leader calls us back. He said Leo and his lawyer are coming to the church to do their legal meeting. So Leo and his lawyer get to the church. Leo invites his lawyer to come join us for sacrament meeting. She's like ya totally. And then they did their legal talk after. There's a cool miracle.  3 We did service on Saturday. We were helping so...

Wow it got cold this week! Like cold and windy! We had a member dinner at In-N-Out burger. We ate outside. I had a jacket and it was still a little cold. The other elders didn't have a jacket so that was kinda funny.  OK here's a funny story.  So I've told y'all about my neighbor. Phil. Who drives the Corvette, a 2500 Chevrolet, has like 5 girlfriends, smokes weed. Well he gives us leftovers every now and then. The other day we came home to leftover Chinese take out on our porch.  Finding story ----------------------- We started teaching Leo last Sunday. Except yesterday, we had a visit with him every day this week. The Spirit is strong with him. He is so prepared. He is also very repentant. Our 1st visit was a pass okf lesson from/with the Hermanas.  Cool amazing testimony building experience  ------------------------------ ------------------------- So yesterday we were planning on having a visit that night with Jaime. He said it was too cold to bike over to th...

Funny stories ---------------------- Ya I figured out I like starting these emails with some stories.  1 so we were in More Park the other day walking around contacting and talking to people. We were walking back to the car, we saw some guys on the street corner. We're like hey how's it going. One of them is like "ha not drunk enough" we kinda chuckle and keep walking and then he's like "you wanna have a beer with us" ....ahh no. 2 we were in the park the other day. We walked over to this lady and asked if she knew of any service opportunities around here. She looks at us with this kinda off face and says "aghhh, aren't you prosalatizing right now" we told her no just looking for service. When we walked away elder Ogden and I just busted up laughing. We're like 1st off it's called prosalyting and second we asked you for "community service"  3 we were in the same park. We had a plan to go talk to our friend Perry. He had hi...
