100% American / Ya Right You Don't Have A Phone

Image
What is up everyone? Let me tell you a lil secret.... Time goes fast. I know I say that almost every week but Ya know it must be true.  Story time ------------------------- 1) We were talking to 2 guys Monday night. We're talking about where we're from. They say Mexico. Elder Ozuna says Utah (his parents are from Mexico). Then I say Utah, and he says "oh haha 100% American". Well Elder Ozuna is from Utah but most of the time when we talk to people only I stick out. Cuz I'm white. Haha.  2) We were talking to this dude. We ask him for his #. He says he doesn't have a phone. Like a second later mariachi music starts playing. He pulls his phone right out and says it's his GF he needs to take it.  3) No one thinks I can speak Spanish probably again cuz I'm white and Elder Ozuna fits right in. So the other day we were talking to this lady on her porch. Before we left. We asked if we could leave her with a prayer. Elder Ozuna asks if it's OK if I say it....

Swimmy Pigs And College Elders

I just blinked and it was p day again! Like seriously did Plankton "shift into maximum over-drive" or did Chewy "hit the hyper drive" on Big Ben. Haha I haven't forgotten pop culture completely. So on Super Bowl Sunday or Christmas have you ever made the little smokey hot dogs in BBQ sauce? Well those are called swimmy pigs or swimmy hot dogs. I made some. They're fire. Elder Wade liked them. Apparently Moorpark has a college and it's pretty big. We were bus contacting and the bus took a break at the College, so we walked around a little bit.  So remember me talking about Jose, Graciela, and Albert. The ones we dropped like a month or two ago and recently we've been taking to them trying to start teaching them again? So so it happened 2-3 times where we went over to talk to them. They just got home and were eating dinner. And they always give us some food. One night we got tacos to go, once Chinese take out to go, and last night we stayed and ate piz...

Abb Ripper X W/Hank Smith & Promise Land At A Crime scene

So quick week again.  Not a lot of crazy or super funny things happened this week so here is the title explanation.  So the other day the 4 of us decided to go for a run in the morning. When we got back we decided to do some Yoga. So Elder Jefferson has a P-90-X yoga video. So we tried it out. It Was TERRIBLE!! Yoga is supposed to be nice/relaxing & a good stretch. OH it was brutal!! Don't Do It!! So the next day the 4 of us did the P-90-X abb work out. Abb ripper X. Wow. It was tough. It was hard. It was kinda painful. Definitely not amazing form but I did it. I Definitely liked it better than yoga! (I did it this morning too)  So Hank Smith is Awesome! I've been listening to some of his talks this week. I wish I was there when he gave some of those EFY talks. He is super funny and uplifting! I Highly Recommend him! Look him up!  Promise Land is THE BEST chocolate milk EN EL MUNDO!! We stop at Ralphs every so often after work to get some.  OK so not an actu...

Rain And Taste Bugs

So ya know I hit 7 months today, ya no biggie. Haha, for real that's crazy! So I don't remember if I mentioned it last week. Transfers happened on Tuesday. I bet you can guess what happened to me.......  I think I might have told you already but I'm still here in Moorpark/TO yahh! Since Elder Langford left I have been in this zone longer than anyone else in my zone. Basically the same area. So ya. We live in Thousand Oaks cuz the new third Spanish companionship is in the apartment I was in on bikes. So we live right across the complex of the apartments I started in. Luckily this one is pretty nice.  Elder Ogden is going back to Argentina on Thursday. That's crazy! It was pretty rainy and cold this week.  Story 1: Elder Wade (one of my roommates) hasn't been able to taste or smell for like a week ish. So on Saturday I made him a smoothie. I put in spinach and carrots and milk and V8 vegetable juice and celery. It smelled and tasted horrible. Like make you gag it was ...
