This week has been boring in comparison to most. Last monday we went up to
bishop and went hiking and screwed around in the mountains. It was fun, I love
being up here it is just like Utah! My camera died so I dont have pictures and
Elder Walker forgot his camera so I will send pictures right when I can! The
Lake we went to was Sabrina (Sub-rye-na) Lake. It was up in the mountains in
Bishop, and it was raining so we were all wet. It was way fun! There was a super
sick looking stream that we tried to get some cool shots of waterfalls, we were
successful but it made my shoes all wet. Today we are going to the Manzanar
memorial prison. It was a WW2 Japanese American Prison camp and so we are gonna
go check it out, and then we are gonna go screw around in the alabama hills. I
am pretty pumped about it it will be fun. The Bishop Elders and the Sisters are
gonna come to so it will be fun.
This week has been all service all the time. I have been out of Pros more
than in it. We are doing everything from helping old couples move furniture to
landscaping work at an old fish hatchery. It is for sure fun but it is
physically exhausting! Things are getting a lot better though, as in with the
work. The people here know us by name and will call us for stuff. Just about all
of them are not interested in the church but they love the Elders. We get fed
more by non members than we do by the members. Which isnt saying much because on
a good week we will get fed like 3 times. The members here are super awesome
though I love them!
We had to give talks yesterday, my talk was on "The Witness" by president
packer. It went pretty well, I basically just bore my testimony for 15 minutes
of the truths that I have come to know and love. I was way nervous, I dont like
speaking in church. Whether its at home with over 500 people or here with 20
people. Everybody liked it though so that was good. It wasnt a total flop haha.
It was a solid week though!
