Well everyone, this has been another weird week in this incredibly strange and kinda tough transfer! The transfer is almost over. Let me just say, this is not what I expected for my last transfer. I guess life is never really what you expect. You know that song by Bob Marley, "three little birds?" "Don't worry, about a thing, cuz every little thing is gunna be alright." That is how I feel like this transfer has been going. So many just shafts, and people ghosting us, and not pulling through, and the other missionaries being dumb.
Well my thumb is purple cuz I had a bad bike crash yesterday and I scraped up my arm and probably broke my thumb. It's realy purple and swollen, but I've had worse.
The other day there was like a wave of exahustion through Santa Maria. We were all so tired! We had a lesson that day with this kid we are teaching and he was so out of it.
I also had just a bad day the other day. You know those days when you just feel mad at everyone and everyone has an opinion about how you should live your life. We did go get soft pretzles from the mall, so that helped. Then it got a little better that night cuz we wetnt to blenders with a guy who was getting baptized the next day. That was fun! He was taught by the Hermanas. He told us a lot of his story. It was realy cool!
It was also national donught day the other day so we got our free doughnut at Krispy Kream.
We met a schitzophrentic lady the other day. She is the twin of a lady we are teaching. It was crazy. She was walking around and swearing a lot!
I have a bunch of cool stuff from my personal studys for you to read, so I'll end my weekly here.
I love you all, see you very soon!

Hebrews 12
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
D&C 90:17
17 Be not ashamed, neither confounded; but be admonished in all your high-mindedness and pride, for it bringeth a snare upon your souls.
Galatians 2:16
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
"Believe in yourself, and believe in Him. Don’t demean your worth or denigrate your contribution. Above all, don’t abandon your role in the chorus. Why? Because you are unique; you are irreplaceable. The loss of even one voice diminishes every other singer in this great mortal choir of ours, including the loss of those who feel they are on the margins of society or the margins of the Church." - Elder Holand (songs sung anf unsung April 2017)
This talk IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Go read or list to it. Our church is 100% REMARKABLE!
