Feb 25, 2013

Hey yal,

Yeah so my new trainee didn't get on the plane in SLC ....he had past unrepentant stuff he didn't face.. so I'm not training this tranfer but I still kinda em because my comp Elder Slade had real bad comps and hasn't really learned much so I'll be making him a real great missionary, then train again haha.  I'm just Pres Watkins all time trainer.

Yes, the apartment is Indian..... smells like curry 24/7 which I'm not happy about and we are right in the middle of china. We have to drive like 20 min to get away from it all... lol. It's pretty crazy.... not hollister lol. The wards are ok. Between the 2 wards, there's 1000+ people half of which are LA so yeah lots of work to be done. Apparently they haven't had the best missionaries here because they cold shouldered me in the Santa Clara ward but Laurence Station has really worked hard to get the work going so I'll just focus 60/40 on them cause they were friendlier.... haha. so yeah good stuff.

Gotta a lot of work here. but one cool experience......

Met this guy, Tony.... former jail, former blackmarket weapons dealer, killed many people and literally could get me a tank if I had the cash. Way up in that industry and we are teaching him the gospel! haha its crazy!! He has the biggest heart I've ever seen and he respects the church and women and missionaries like his family.... its amazing. He keeps tellin us if someone messes with us to call him. I'm tempted to see what would happen but I will refrain. lol.  We talked weapons and guns for awhile.... he was surprised I knew my stuff... haha. Then he told us hundreds of crazy stories of him and his team doing jobs. It was nuts!!! haha... he's such a cool guy and he's so close to being baptized. It's really sweet!

Been workin so hard and tryin to learn the area so bad.  I've left Hollister outta my mind lately which is good..... helps me focus on the now. lol 3 hours of church is not long for anyone who wants to think that. Try going to WC at 730, then going through 2 wards lol, gettin outta church at 430, then try adding Fast Sunday to it..... now that's alot of church haha.

I'm excited since there's really no relationships between members and missionaries.  I'm gonna work til I drop and give it all I can for these 2 wards so when I leave they have the relationships.

Hope all is well at home and I think we got a little drizzle of rain last week at about 65 degree so that was a cold day but ya know its Cali hahaha!

Love Yal!!!
