Hey Everyone,

We had a real good week. Our p-day is cut short though cause we helped a family get a bunch of their stuff loaded up cause there moving to Utah, so we helped them out all morning. So that was super fun. We've been doing these super crazy circuit workouts and They’ve been super intense.

We taught a really good lesson to a lady this week. It went super well and she is going to do really well in the gospel. She needs it in her life for sure. She’s been through a lot but the gospel can definitely help her.

One thing that has really been bugging me is just getting our appointments launched... we will set something up with our investigators, they will be super excited, we will call and remind them, and we will show up and they won’t be there. It’s definitely frustrating, but whatever..

I had this super drunk lady come up to me on the bus and grab both of my hands and ask me to pray for her. I was so tired at that time so i was just like sure. It didn’t even surprise me. Im just so used to having random stuff happen, that it doesn’t even make me laugh any more haha. It’s just like, ehh, seen that one.

We got to watch Johnny Lingo yesterday. That was super fun.

Oh I have a girl that’s crushing on me haha. She’s 4 years old. Her name is Genesis. She’s a really funny little hispanic girl with a super deep voice. Her mom and brother just got baptized. We go over there quite a bit with the spanish Elders. It’s funny, during sacrament the only way she will sit still and be quiet is if I draw pictures with her. its fun. I’m used to a bunch of little kids all around me, so it is really familiar, hahaha. Brandon is a really good place. I love it here.

Anyways, things are going well. I love being a missionary. I love the gospel. The church is true, and I want to give a birthday shout out to my mom. July 31st. Happy birthday old lady! Love you!
