Transfers, The Crash, Food, And IDENTIFY YOURSELF!!

OK everyone. 

Here is a fun(ny) experience. So the other night we got a call from a member. He said he had some sandwiches for us. We told him we could come over that night. So we drive over there and Google maps is dumb so we accidently knocked on his neighbor's door. This lady yells from behind the door, "WHO IS IT..... IDENTIFY YOURSELF" Well we didn't get shot so that's good. The sandwich was good. 

Also we have a member who works at or is somehow involved with the high school so we got a buch of hot dogs and humburgers and lunch stuff left over from their senior BBQ. 

The other day we were talking to a guy on the street. We were right outside of some other church (there's a lot in Santa Maria). So we were talking and all of a sudden  this dude comes walking around the corner and yelling in English. He was mad at the church we were standing by cuz they told him to stop loitering. We assured him that was not our church,. The guy we were talking to is like "what did he say. 

So Transfers were on Tuesday. I had to say a lot of goodbyes. That was tough. I'm still here in Santa Maria. Elder Sayre left to Oxnard. Elder Palmer came up to be my comp. He's cool. It's only been a week, but I would say so far we get along well and work well together. We had some good success this week!

The other day we were driving to food bank. We were driving through a two way stop and this lady turned right into us. She didn't have insurance and has an expired driver's lisence. Elder Palmer thought she might do a hit and run, but she didn't. She came out of the car with bare feet and defenatly on something. I had to fill out this accident report for the church cuz it's their car. We also spent a lot of time on the phone with the Sr Elder in our mission in charge of cars. He's pretty cool. He said that there are 1 or 2 accidents a week in our mission. Isn't that crazy?!? 

In other news. My ear is still ringing. It hasn't changed at all. I want to thank you all for your prayers. They are heard. 

I don't really have much else to say, but I want to end with a short testimony. 

This gospel brings so much joy! I love teaching people! Especially the people who actually want to listen, not so much the bashes. I don't know how to describe it exactly but all I can say is that this gospel and this church is the Church that Jesus established when He lived on the earth. It makes so much sense. If you read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, you will come to know of its truth. I love being here (even though the ringing ear makes it tough). If I can help anyone feel the same joy and peace I feel through the gospel, it will all be worth it. 

I love and miss you all more than you know! Again Sorry if I don't get back to you on your emails, but I do read them and they brighten my day!
