Elder Sandberg: I love being a missionary!

Howdy howdy

Merry bussin Christmas!

Our apartment used to have 4 elders in here.

Of those other two elders one moved to another place and one finished his mission. So Elder Garrett and I have our own seperate bathrooms AND showers it is rightously awesome!

This week we have met and found a lot of people to talk too! That is really thanks to the bikes, so many people notice you and wave, and Im always waving and saying hi to literally everyone!

This week we had the great oppurtunity to give blood

After that we came home and I passed out! For about an hour.

Weve been doing a lot of service with sister morales she is so fun and goofy

We put up christmas lights for her, painting sheds, and building stuff for her.

She feeds us some dang good food too!

We are like best friends, shes already making plans for me to come back and hang out with her after the mission!

She wants a Purgola in her back yard but they are super expensive, I told her my buddy(cade Jacob/grey bear construction) and I can build her one after the mission (shes calling it our "plan de salvación)

She is very excited for that

Yesternight, we were in this little trailer park in which we have found several people in the past, but last night we saw a little house blasting music and we could see two people in there, so why not knok??? They are there! talk to them!

So we met two new friends who are brothers Rafael and adrian they are super cool, nice and really funny!

They let us in right then and there after which we then shared our message of the restored church of jesus christ in the latter days! They loved it

We got a return appointment and gave them Books of the mormon!

We shall seeee what happens next!

Elder Garrett and I clean almost everyday so the apartment feels good and healthy. Before, with 4 elders and only two of them cleaning and putting stuff away it gets a little too messy so im enjoying it right now!

This week we met a biker gang, they all had matching leather jackets with a blue flaming skull on the back!

The "founder" his name was Bishop he was way cool and super nice, he was riding a suzuki 600, his buddy had a honda CBR 600 rr and the third one had a husquvarna 450 supermoto!

We met them at a gas station and I walked over to them not meaning to talk gospel at all, I just wanted to talk about their sweet bikes.

I started talking bikes with them and Bishop said: Elders!!! Let me buy you stuff!!! Took us into the store and bought us tons of stuff

he kept saying: thats all your gonna get???

I was just: uhhh yeah hahaha

Then i grabbed more stuff, and he said: more dude more!

So we got lots of snacks that day

Which was nice after biking all the days.

Bishop grew up a member but isnt interested in getting back into the church, but he loves to help the missionaries,

So we sent his number off to the elders in san fernando where he lives so maybe one day :)

Elder Garrett really likes these things called Funko Pops, they are pretty cool! he has about 100 back home and hes collected 25ish on the mission,

He has sucked me into the addiction

I only bought two so far!
