Week 80

6/27/16

Hi everyone, 

It was a really hot week, high 90's. apparently this week is supposed to be even hotter. Overall we had an interesting week. Most people we teach are out of town haha so that's been rough. We taught some people though and that went really well. We also stopped visiting some people we previously had been. They really just weren't interested in changing their lifestyle, so we decided to stop and find people who were. They basicaly said "I WANT to believe in God but I don't want to have to DO anything extra and actually do things , always sad to me. so yea . I went on exchanges with Elder Denton who served in Carson when I left the first time. He was pretty funny. I was in his area and he was like man its so hot, lets go get ice cream at McDonalds. We were walking right by it. So we went inside to get water and whatnot and this guy was like hey Elders I want to buy you lunch! that was pretty cool. Turns out the guy was actually my age haha. He's inactive but his brother is on a mission. 
We found this Guy named Alan and he seemed super into God when we met him like 2 weeks ago. We finally were able to go teach him again, turns out he's a member! He got baptized in Mexico when he was 10 and then when they moved up here his mom never took them to church. It was really cool though listening to him explaining how he thinks God talks to us (in our thoughts) and whatnot because well. thats normally exactly how it happens haha! 
Our spanish branch president got released and now we have a new one. That was a sad day, he is a good guy.  We will now have 1 less guy in the branch. Overall a good week though .
