Well it sounds like BYU is pulling their classic choke nation. Transfers are happening tomorrow and we got our transfer calls last night to determine where we are going. Turns out I'll be staying in Arleta for another round with Elder Terry. Which means that I'll be able to finish him off (this is his last transfer.) So I'm going to be 5 peating. I'm pretty excited to stay in this area its an awesome area and a lot of the people we are working with are progressing really well. I feel like there is definitely a reason why I stayed in this area I'm thinking that there is something I haven't done that Heavenly Father is just trying to help me do. But we will see, I'm definitely going to be paying closer attention to the small and simple miracles that happen in this area.
Somethings that have happened this week is 1 I got to try pulpo for the first time (Octopus). It was pretty cool not gonna lie to be able to try something like that. It was cooked Peruvian style, which I'm not sure what that means because I've never had any other style of octopus before. But It was still really good. Also we had an event at the Visitors Center where me and Elder Terry sung in the choir. we sang a couple of Spanish classics such as Recuerdame and I think that I'm ready now to join a mariachi. Haha just kidding. It was really cool though a lot of Hispanics were able to make it.
So a day in the life of an L.A. missionary looks like this: 6:30 we wake up and then head to the stake center to go exercise and play soccer with the other elders in the zone. Then from there we come back plan our day shower eat breakfast and start personal study at 9 then at around 10:15 we are out the door working on the ward list usually to verify if members actually live where it says they live. occasionally we have a lesson or two in the morning but not to often. After that we have lunch at 12:30 and then around 1 we start comp study and then at 2 we start language. After that we either do online proselyting lessons and part member families until dinner which is usually at around 6:30. Then after dinner we usually have a couple lessons to finish out the day. However in L.A. there are also a lot more events and opportunities to find people so often we will try and prepare for and participate in those. For example the Visitors Center event. Then at 10:30 we go to bed.
Well it sounds like its been kinda a bummer week but remembering that we have the gospel and the atonement of Jesus Christ always makes me happier. Love you all hope you have a good week. Les Quiero!!
