Week 5- It is good to get details since they didn't come last week.

In Taylor's words.......

First transfer is almost up! The work here is hastening, especially because of conference! Im super pumped about it, cause we now have so many referals that we do not have any time to go out and tract. Which is great cause tracting sucks. This week I went on exchanges with the zone leaders, he went to davis high. He also made sure that I knew he went to davis high, I just about killed him but I figured it would be hard to have the spirit after I kill someone.... Im just kidding he was pretty cool, we talked a lot about the rivalry and what happens in the games, it was cool to see things from his point of view! We set our other investigator, J., with a date. J. is this super ripped black dude that is a IT guy at the same time, so he is super sick! Our other investigator M. and her family, keep refusing to come to church and so we constantly have to set back their date. Yesterday we had the opportunity to hear from Elder Quinton L Cook. He came to a stake center in Palmdale just to speak with the western half of the mission! He talked a lot about teaching by the spirit. We all got to go up and shake his hand, talk about scary haha. He is way nice but it was super intimidating! We also heard from Rueben Acosta of the seventy. So all of yesterday was just a cool experience in general! Afterwards I got to be in the circle and confer the Melchezidek priesthood on a kid in the Rosamond ward named Dillon. He goes on splits with us all the time and is only a month younger than me! So that was a cool experience, he should be getting his call here within the next couple weeks! Im way stoked for him! One thing that I told my family that I figured out, is that I am not only the only 18 year old in my zone, but I am the youngest person in all of the Bakersfield CA mission. Ya I asked president and he said I was right, so ya Im the baby of the mission! Jokes on them though, I will be going home, less than a month after my 20th birthday! A lot of things happened this week, some super good, and some horrible. But all in all this week has helped me grow, and the hard things needed to happen in order for me to progress and become the missionary I wanna be. No distractions, and being able to have an eye single to the glory of God. Even though its hard, Im really excited to see what the coming weeks are gonna bring! I will talk to you all next week!
