We had some big changes and an awesome week!
First off we had transfers! My new companion is called Elder Gonzales, he is from new york city he is so much fun!
The best way to describe him is a goofy gangster mexican.
Weve been working super hard this week, we got a car now and this area iS HUGE!!!
the transfer before this area was a biking area, which to be honest, that was very nonprofitable because it would take 2-3 hours to bike all the way across, and even 30-45 minutes in car.
So, the past 6 weeks this area has been suffering badly. So we are basically in a "white washed" area, now "white wash" is a mision lingo slango term which means: two missionaries get taken out of an area and two completly different missionaries take their place.
Elder gonzales doesnt like to drive so he made me desginated driver, which has been great because I love driving especially because i have barely driven for 7 months.
This new area is way fun we have met a lot of steriotypical californians.
The latinos are super nice!!! And there is a lot of them
My new apartment is way fun because there are 3 other latino native spanish speakers and the are sooo goofy! And my spanish is getting a lot better by the second, i still got a long way to go though.
Elder Gonzales and I have been working our butts off knocking doors, finding, talking with everyone! And we made a new friend this week, his name is michel hes from Peru and hes about 26 years old and already super diggs the book of mormon.
The book of mormon is truly our most powerful tool in conversion, not just for investigators but for our selves too!
I would like to invite all of yall to read just a little bit more,
Because this book truly has the answers to life, when we read and ponder the words, the holy ghost will whisper to us softly the things we need to know and to do. Heres a passage I read the other day.
Mosiah 2:41
41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.
Goofy story of the week
We parked our car on friday ready to visit our friend, prayed, hopped out, and started walking
We then found this sweet pull up calisthenics thing, which had a paper that read "free or trash"
Elder Gonzales said "dang I wish we could take this home, this would be awesome!!!" I then said "lets do it!"
I always have tools in my little backpack so i wipped those things out took it all apart threw it all in the trunk, and when we got home that night at 9:30 I put it all back together and now we got a sweet pull up rack, a true miracouless blessing from our heavenly Father.
Thats the week!
Love yall peace out!
Elder Sandberg
