1st transfer gone

 I've been out here as a missionary for 3 months, and I've been here in Compton for 6 weeks, 6 great weeks!!!

Transfers are tomorrow!!!

I'm staying here in this area and Elder Robledo is leaving for the San Fernando Valley!!! He has been here in ghetto for 6 months so he is pretty stoked to leave

It's been great I've learned so much from him, he was district leader here so I went on every exchange!! Those were fantastic learning experiences!

My new companion is Elder Garret I haven't met him yet, BUT!! all the other Elders love him

Although we are getting our car taken away, not because we don't deserve it simply because some sisters are moving into the zone!!! And they are taking our car

Please pray for them, although I know they are gonna be just fine and do great!

Every zone needs sister missionaries, spiritualy, sisters bring sense and brightness to a zone, they are very important.

We are all different kinds of tools, tools for the lord to bring forth this work, and Heavenly Father needs all kinds of different tools to accomplish this work

Sisters stole our car

So we will be on bikes! Which I am super stoked about!!!!

 

For the past few exchanges elder robledo left the area and I stayed so I've become very familiar with this leading this area.

One exchange we built a shed for our bishop and I used power tools! Including a Milwaukee impact, and a Milwaukee nail gun! It was definitely much needed for me bishop would say in a thick Mexican accent, bRrothar sAndBarhh we now put up These plywoods .

I had a blast doing it!

2 exchanges we got into an intense bash!!!, we just stayed calm stated some facts, let them get their anger out at us, simply bore our testimony and dipped!

One of there names was brother Davis he was very authoritative, he told us he was he was taken down to hell forty years ago, I asked him why, he told told us he was muslim living in the middle east, getting high on 5 different drugs everyday, and spending every night at the whorehouse. Wide eyed, I simply said that does sound like hell. He said Mormons were sinners and I bore my testimony of the Book of mormon and our latter day prophets and we parted ways.

Our friend rodolfo is getting baptized this Friday!!! Elder robledo says he hasn't progressed much until I got here

I'm very proud of rodolfo, 6 weeks ago the idea of him getting baptized seemed like a pipe dream!

Holy Crap the gift of tongues is real!! I've only been learning Spanish para tres meses y la idioma esta muy Buena! Y entonces yo puedo eseñar, y ayudar nuestros amigos para sentir mas Paz y mas gozo en sus vidas, y tambien para venir a Cristo, este Cosa es bien importante, Pues que bueno nos vemos a todos en la proxima semana!

Everyday I have a new crazy experience

I'm doing great!!!

Food is great!!!

Todo bien hermanos y hermanas. :)))

I miss yall

Much love
