Email from Elder Johns Week 6
Found out something interesting about highland this last week... the big ridge that cuts the town in half is the San Andreas fault... Lovely.
The weather this week has been miserable. Triple digits every day, topping out at greater than or equal to110 degrees, and it has been cloudy/muggy too (which is odd for here). Because no one is outside during the day (except elder Clark and I of course) we've been tracting. Tracting is not a very efficient method of finding people. But it can be interesting. You are never sure what is going to happen. I've had a few doors slammed in my face already but it's more humorous than anything. We've only had a couple people agree to have us come back.
Yvette's getting baptized this Friday. I'm pretty excited. We have everything planned out. It was going to be last Friday but there was a scheduling conflict.
Things are going good with the investigators. We don't have anyone else on date for baptism though.
Last week the Smart's (the people in our ward, not the Mission President) made me my "greenie dinner" where everything was green, green noodles, green rice, green chicken Alfredo. It was pretty good. But it looked like, as they put it "A leprechaun puked on my plate".
We get fed basically every day by the members. I haven't had a bad meal yet. However, I did have a "full but must eat to be polite experience".
We were over at an appointment with the Perez family (an older Part Member couple). We didn't have anyone on the calander for dinner, and they went and got tacos from a local church thing and got some for us. So we had like 4 tacos there, and then we got a call. It was another family in the ward and they said "are you coming over for dinner?". They had actually signed up for the next day, but made a mistake. So we were like "yeah we'll be right over". I was freaking out, I had eaten more tacos than I thought was wise already and Sister Lorentz cooks alot of food. Elder Clark as we were driving told me to do the "samoan shuffle" with him. which consists of rocking back and forth to "help with digestion" well, It may actually worked because when we got there we had another huge meal of salmon patties (my favorite.... <sarcasm>) hot wings, deviled eggs, and other stuff. It was all pretty good. and I didn't explode which was suprising.
But anyway. Despite the heat, Elder Clark and I are still getting work done. Alma 37:6-7
Out of time to write more. There is never enough time to do anything.
Please write me letters
