Week #42 - Santa Rosa, California - August 10, 2020

Hey everyone,

So, one day on the mission of Elder Alex Dyal, the investigators he was teaching dropped HIM because of questions over polygamy. Depression soon hit because they were super amazing investigators, and that just kinda sucks. But he had the FATtest rebound week EVER.

No seriously, we found the coolest family ever; the mom is an inactive member and the rest of the family is AMAZING and is reading the BOM like crazy. We also found 3 other cholos who are super cool! So in total, we found 7 people to teach this week! 

The biggest tender mercy that lifted the depression of losing our investigators was some guys we met at a gas station. There was this guy on a motorized bicycle wearing a fish net and mobs by us and parks. We go up to him to talk and possibly get a picture with him. His friend comes up to us speaking Arabic but just the same 3 words over and over again. Then he tells us in his OWN words that he speaks: English, Italian, Arabic MEXICAN, Spanish, Hebrew, etc, etc. He asked us what was on the back of the dollar bill, we were like, "What?" He says, "Your mom". And then he paces around the gas station for no reason and comes back to us. Meanwhile his friend is karate chopping a sign and drop kicking cigarettes. We asked if we could get a picture with them and he was like "for 10 dollars." (We took one anyway.) We went back to our car as he mobs off on his bike, but his friend just sits down on our car. We had no idea what to do, but then he went, "I have to go to the bathroom" and he just walks away. (Picture attached)

Honestly, I really needed something that funny this week. Have a good week.
