IT'S SO HOT!

So this week the weather didn't get below 105. IT WAS SO HOT!! Im pretty sure I almost died a couple times. 

This week has been so good for the work! Oh by the way I got transfered....anyways! My new comp is Elder Hunsaker, he is an interesting kid but we are having fun getting it done! We have found a bunch of new investigators and been talking to tons and tons of people! Which is awesome because this ward hasnt seen a baptism in several months! So hopefully we can change that! We are working with Lady named Lana who is doing super good! She is one of the coolest people ever and is really trying to be a good Mom for her newborn son.

I also got to go on exchanges on Friday with my boy Elder Marrott! It was way sick we went out to a place called Trona. It literally is like the most miserable place I have ever seen. It was 119 outside and the entire valley smelled like sulfur from the huge mine. Grass doesnt grow there, its home to the only dirt high school football field in the country. "The hills have eyes" movies were all filmed there....seriously it was nuts!

The ward here is super awesome, they are literally doing anything we ask them to do. They definitely deserve good missionaries! We knocked a lot of doors this week, thats honestly all I really want to do. Cause even after a mission I can still teach lessons with the missionaries but how often will I ever get to go knock on peoples doors and get yelled at and stuff? So Im doing it as much as possible! This weeks been way good! Love you all!

NO HABLAR ENGLISH!

So this week we had a lot of people speaking English in their house, and then opening the door and saying "No hablar english" with a PERFECT ENGLISH ACCENT. It was frusterating. Some cool stuff did happen this week in regards to the ward though! We went on exchanges with the Spanish Elders and I got to practice my spanish. All 2 words that I know! It was great, I went with Elder Gevas, he is a goofball! We had dinner with a spanish family and we made Papusa with them! :) It was basically the greatest thing ever, Papusa is probably one of my favorite spanish foods. Its from El Salvador so they get mad at me if I say mexican food. 

I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting yesterday. It went pretty well I guess, there was a missionary who came home and talked forever!!!!!!!!!!! I was like Oh my gosh you are so boring. All of his friends came to the church and that is where I figured out that you arent supposed to do that anymore. I only talked for like 5 minutes but I think I got the message across! The whole meeting was about the work. Somerset Ward has really stepped it up! Im so happy that Im hear to watch it happen! Nothing else super excited happened this week other than an urgent care trip, but that was no big deal I just keep dislocating both my shoulders. Love you all!
