Hey ya’ll,
another week down in good ole Cali. It’s
been a crazy fast week here and I love it! It’s been like 105 degrees all week
though! Last week after I emailed we went to Laguna Beach, it was
awesome! We couldn't get out of the car but we drove by and it was so pretty! I
love the ocean, it’s sweet! My comp got sick this week so things have been
pretty slow, and I’ve had a lot of time to study and read! I don't think I’ve
ever read so much in one week ever!
One thing
that I have to do here all the time that I never had to do before is shave....
I feel like I’m always doing it, sometimes I even have to shave twice a day, so
that’s a struggle. I miss the beard...it’s awful!
Funny
story, we went to an elderly couple’s house for dinner this week, and you could
definitely tell cause on their table was the book, “How to use Smartphones
for dummies!” I was laughin’ pretty hard! After that we had dinner and it was
good, all until I got to the green Jello....it was weird! It had like
pears and these weird balls of white things in them and the texture
was off, so I had like 1 or 2 bites then put it down and was like, no more of
that!! Then my comp says, ‘Come on eat it’, under his breath, and I mumble
back ‘Nah I cant!’ and then he forced me to, cause that’s the polite thing to
do! So I did, and I thought I was going to die. I shoveled it down and then I
stood up and walked to the bathroom in a dignified manner, closed the door and
then hurled it all up in the toilet! NASTY!!! It was quite an event.
We also
had the chance to go teach a recent convert that my comp baptized last
transfer! She is awesome and has an awesome testimony of the church! The work
is slow but sure here and I love it!

Here are
answers to a few of the questions I asked Zach:
- Do you have a car? Yes for half of the week. My comp is the designated driver so I don’t ever drive.
- What do you do for exercise? I do P90x and we play basketball on Mondays and Fridays with members.
- Do you do much service? Yeah, last week we helped someone move and also helped hang some shelves in a guy’s garage. We usually do some every week.
