hey yal,
I bet yal had a blast in Utah. that sounds like a ton of fun! That retreat
thing sounds interesting.... Mom I've gotten to know you for like 21 years now...
I feel I got a pretty good grasp of what makes you tick. haha you've been
yourself in those 23 months of letters and that's what I want most. Honestly its
really nice to take a breath from the whole spiritual aspect of things and hear
how amazing my family is doing and all the fun they are having. That motivates me
to do more because I know that our family's sacrifice of this mission is
bringing in tons of blessings to our family. That's why we get to email so we know
whats going on in both sides of the world right? I want you to be you because
when your your best you, then you'll be happy and so will I :) and you don't have
to put this paragraph in the blog ;) hahaha "Be your Best You and Rock
It!"
This week was insane. holy craziness lol. so we'll go day by day on this one
cause it was legit!
Monday- Me and Ayotte and Housekeeper and Doxey went up into the
mountains(more like hills) and just went cruising for a little and we ended up
at the Big Basin state park! such big redwoods. man it was so fun! Just a really
fun time and chill. Haven't been in the woods like that in a really really long
time haha but it was so fun! pictures to follow. Dinner at the Damunis, a Fijian
family who are so much fun! They're straight mano'o! haha they are so fun! and me and
s. Qaqa were just havin a blast with em all! Tripp and s. Bishop just like sat
there.... it was really awkward... but it was legit for us! haha their loss. Found
this program that in the summers some guy from Utah started a thing that kids
can go to Fiji to build houses and wells and roads and cool stuff like that. so
I'm basically gonna do that next summer! it'll be legit! Tila Drova and the
Damunis and s. Qaqa and E. Racule all will set me up with the best out there!
its nice to have friends just like you were sayin mom :) well these guys are
basically family so yeah there awesome! had a blast with em all!
Tuesday- service service service! did you know I was a plumber? me neither
but after shelving books at the library, we helped an ol lady redo her bathroom
sink and stuff. I'm pretty good at it too! Maybe I'll do that as a back up or
something. but it was fun! Then we gotta do some gardening. I basically have a
green hand not a green thumb haha except this bush thing we cut back had all
this sap sorta stuff in it and if I jumped against a wall I'd stick to it for
like an hour. haha so funny. It was pretty fun we got some brownies outta
it.
Wednesday- bomb day for teaching people. Met with 4 of our less active
families and man they are doin so good! Tila Drova just got her limited use
recommend!! AHHH so cool!!! plus one of the most inactive people she has a
baking business and we asked her to make some cupcakes and she made 4 dozen for
free! It was sweet! LA still are willin to provide service no matter what its for ...
just remember that! Had dinner at the Ocampos! They were in Lawrence station
ward with me and moved to the branch here so we're in the same building and they
love feeding us! and we get to have pillow fights every time with their kiddos!
so much fun! and her food is so good. Best Mexican food I've ever had.
ever!
Thursday- Zone training! We had it at Rich Thawley's house, who'se
loaded.... sold a company to Trans America and he is now a private contractor
for them in doing leadership and motivational seminars and stuff... it was an
awesome lesson and plus his back yard had a putting green so we had a blast on
that and he pulled out his GTR which was legit... tuned it to 800HP. man it was
sleek.. had a super fun time with the zone for that though! it was legit.
Friday- Legit! exchanges with Ayotte and we lit up Saragota ward! it was
such a blast and nice to have a break from Tripp haha it was a good
reboot.
Saturday- Started with a cancer walk and we were havin an alright time and
then the FD came!! heck yes!! haha went and chatted it up with em for the next
like hour and a half. it was a blast! We were just bouncing off of everything it
was good! Apparently I'm in good shape just gotta get into shape lol they said
cross fit is a good workout plan so I'll hit that up when I get home but as
far as schooling and certs I'm so set. Plus I made good impressions with them and
hopefully some good contacts for later on! They invited me to come to the
station and to go on a ride along lol.... can I leave Tripp for that?? haha
maybe not. but we're def gonna go! Then of course to end the week off.... Misty's
baptism. wow so amazing! The spirit was super strong. and I even sang... what
the heck! hahaha it was awesome. She was so prepared as weird as it is, she was
textbook. no hick ups. no double takes just full bore 90 mph down the road to
baptism. She's solid. amazing. quiet hahaha but awesome! Really great service and
everything came together. oh met a guy named Tanner Haney ring a bell? he said
he was in Pueblo when Dad was bishop and I was like 3 lol but he remembered me!
it was cool to chat for a minute. He's working for Erstin young firm out here. it
was cool.
Sunday- Really good confirmation by Tripp... he did a real good job. Plus I love Sundays. Love, love, love talking to my family here. I would move
into this ward in a heart beat. They are rock stars and I love em to death! Had a
really really boring stake meeting... blah! lol but then some good times with
missionaries. Had dinner at the Otani's.... still don't like going over there...
but their son is about to go on a mission so I gotta suck it up and be there for
him. Reports the 20th haha how funny right? but he's coming out with us a bunch
this next few weeks. He's gonna be good to go! Japan I think is where he's
heading. Then had a sweet lil missionary meeting to put #s in for the week. man
it was a good good week.
So the McDonald's are legit.... there our WML and I seriously have made life
long friends with em. We talk about literally everything! hahah so nice to have. Just goes to show you.... show some love and people will give it right back! Yesterday when we were getting a ride home from em, he was going off making this
huge story of how fast I'll get married and have a kid and mini van and blah blah
balh hahaha it was so funny! We really click. its awesome. love love love it
here. these people I work with are just amazing.
Well gotta run. Another week down another week to go. Time is runnin out!
