Hola Familia!
 |
| Out in a California downpour, it felt great. |
How are you all doing? I’m doing pretty good! Just soakin' up the Cali sun
every day! It rained here so all the
smog and haze is gone. Now we can see the mountains and downtown LA which is sweet! That’s good to hear
about how you are thinking about doing another mission.
Well
this week went by very quickly. I can’t
believe it’s already P day again! We
had an investigator go to jail this week and she got sentenced to 5 years in
prison for selling like $20K worth of Meth, so yeah pretty crazy. It is really sad because she left behind six
kids. A couple are in and out of jail
themselves, but the others are just young little kids and they are now living
with their grandma. They are always
talking about how "mommy is a bad person". It’s really hard to hear them say that, and
we just try to help them as best as we can so that they aren't so sad about her
leaving.

Well, besides
that, all of our other investigators pretty much ignore us and they are not
making times to meet with us this
week. We have only had two set lessons,
and the rest of the time has been spent knocking

doors and riding around on our
bikes. We did participate in a Helping Hands service project on Saturday which was good! We helped clean up Whittier’s parks and raked
leaves and trimmed bushes, etc. It was
like four hours long, so I can now officially say I have done a service project
on the mish!
Last night we
attended a baptism for the B family. There were four people in the family and the
baptism was packed. The whole ward came. It started at 7 pm and we soon realized
that the B family and also the ward mission leader, Hermano C, weren’t even
there. Eventually
they showed up at like 7:20 and it started. It was actually a really good baptism! Elder M, our Zone leader, baptized one investigator
and then realized he had his camera in his pocket! So his camera is ruined and all his pics are gone! That was pretty sad.

| Elder H has a slack line and we like to practice in the park on P-day. |
We went out
to lunch with a member on Saturday afternoon and I tried octopus. We went to this seafood place. The octopus was pretty awful! It
looked like a purple mess with all of its tentacles and suction cup things. It was like eating a gummy bear, at least the
texture part, haha.
Besides that, this past week was really quick. I am also looking forward to calling home on Mother’s Day! I’m still not sure yet on the details as to
when I will be calling home, but I will keep you posted! Hopefully this upcoming week we will have more
success! We just need to work and pray harder! The Lord will put people in our
path in his place and time. So we just
gotta have faith.
Well I hope
you all have a great week! Sounds like
everything is going well back home. I
miss and love you all! Stay safe!
Love,
Elder Woffinden
