Smelly tomatoes

This is crazy it smells like rotting tomatoes everywhere here! The harvest is finishing and there are just extra gleamed tomatoes everywhere rotting in the streets. Anyways it good we've been in the smoker for another week. Its been really dark in the mornings and orange. But we also had a super good week for missionary work! We stayed busy and that was awesome! We had some good lessons and contacts with a lot of people we hadnt talked to in a while. And even found a new person! I gave a talk yesterday morning at our kind of church on youtube it was awesome! I talked about receiving revelation and person scriptures study. So yall should be reading scriptures. You'll see miracles! I have!

  Last thing, Saturday night we pulled off on the way home and picked a bunch of prickly pears!! And then i juiced them in a cloth and got a whole two ish cups! It looked like i was killing something then i drank the blood. It was pretty good and tasted super healthy. I also translated the prophet said to plant a garden into cebuano. Any way i love you all!

This week was nice. We had zone conference and it was super good! We talked a tonavout receiving revelation and the hlly ghost it was super interesting and super awesome. And also it was in person which was super nice! And we drove through a very burnt mountain pass to get there! We also talked about how important it is that we are talking about baptism so it isnt such a big thing and so that our friends are more confortable with the idea. It was a good zone con.

    This week we did a ton of service too it was awesome and lots of fun. Overall it was an awesome week. My apples are still doing super good so no complaints. It was a little slower of a week and more boring but i just feel happy to be where i am for the time being as long as i can. I saw some super cool connection with nephi leaving the land of jerusalem and going to a better land of promise. I havent given up hope on going back to the Philippines but depende sa ginoo unsay buot sya.

I love you all be safe and have fun!

The prophet said to plant a garden

This week was pretty good we have been trying to use Facebook better because we are running out of people to call in our area book. So we are starting to see success from that. Also we have been trying to work more with members this week. It has been really awesome to actually meet people in our ward! One day we were talking about the plan of salvation and the song amazing grace and it is awesome! Gods grace is so amazing for us woo-hoo. Also we had outside parking lot church today! That was a ton of fun! It is really nice to take a break and enjoy church. Our mission presidents wife told us to eat more apples and I have seen lots of blessings from following that advice, mostly that I now have six solid apple saplings growing and a couple more seeds still germinating. Also in the childrens hymn book number 237 it says. "the prophet said to plant a garden"! So yall need to plant some apples or something, I guess its a little too late most places but you could buy some apples and grow some trees in your house over the winter I guess. Anyway i love you all bye

Intersteller! Cornfield chase

This week was wack!! On tuesday it started raining ashes like snow and it got so smoky we could see about a mile ahead of us! And some elders from our zone got evacuated then on Wednesday a ton of elders got evacuated and came to our zone from vacaville which i learn means cow ville. So we had twelve elders in our house it was super crazy. Then they returned home and it started to stop snowing ash it is still pretty smoky though. Because of all the ash in the air it looks like intersteller when we drive through the corn fields to our area its a nice drive and i saw an emu the other day. And while we were driving home tone night we heard a zooming above us and realized it was a UFO! It was crazy! It was either aliens or one of the drone things from interstellar. Also we tried doing family history with lots of people this week and a lot of stuff fell through but it was still good and we were able to just talk and build our relationship with a lot of people which is good since its so hard to do over the internet. Talking in person is the best! And we had a baptism last night it was awesome! And in a swimming pool!! I love you all! Be safe and watch out for all the crazy things happening.  Also i forgot to say but we now have 

9 elders in our house so thats crazy. 

AP for a day

This week was awesome! It was kind of slower. We tried using facebook better and drop off notes to a ton of people!  We also made brownies for some people! On thursday we did interview with our president that was nice he is awesome and we also went on exchanges with the assistants it was really cool to go a day with him. And also we met some awesome members! They were doing little things as missionaries without even being missionaries! They were cool. He also told us how much he appreciates us being here during this time. That was the coolest part of the week because of how sincere it was and how strong the spirit was. Im glad im here right now and that i have this opportunity to be a missionary wherever i am. I love you all bye bye!

Me and elder earl he lives with us now. Also we dont have to wear ties anymore 🤏💥

From homeless to a mansion

This week we moved again to a house about 15 minutes from our area we are living with some other elders now and it is super fun and a super nice house! I don't know how long we'll be here. This week we found some new people and now we are teaching them one of them really wants to be baptised which is awesome! Also I dunked a basketball today so I am pretty happy with my morning workouts. This week was pretty normal other than moving it was a good week. Im going to learn chinese because im living with s chinese elder. So 再见 我爱你们 和我们的天赋也爱他们。

My plants in the Philippines are doing well. 

Mosiah 18

5 Now, there was in sacremento a river of pure water, and the woodland elders resorted thither, there being near the water a thicket of small trees.

This week was pretty crazy we got kicked out of our house because our lease finished and we dont have a house to move into so all our furniture is at the church building for a little and we are living with 3 other elders in a small apartment with 1 bathroom. It is pretty crazy. Also we baptised A man named Fred in the Sacramento river it was pretty cool. Fred is super into the book of mormon. The book of mormon has some crazy conversion power! You should all make sure your reading it because it is super important. Also im getting super swoll living in a sixman apartment. And this morning i dunked a volleyball so my life is going pretty great. I love you all and hope you have a great week. Dont forget to read your scriptures.
