Week #43 - Santa Rosa, California - August 17, 2020

What’s up? It’s Elder Dyal here. Well, let me just get straight into it. This week we haven’t really done anything because, well I try to do stuff. So, we had exchanges with zone leaders and I was leading the whole area with my group and was super embarrassed because the whole time we haven’t been able to get in contact with anyone… call and noone answered, going by people houses and they weren’t there. So that was fun, we just wasted a bunch of miles. Ummm, so let me think… So this week, this is what they whole week looked like basically. But one think is that our ward mission leader, we noticed he was looking super worn out, super tired and stressed, so we decided to throw him a cute little party where we wrote cute little notes, and snuck into his house and gave him a “heart attack” on his door. And we brought food, and he cried. Probably the best thing I’ve ever seen. But he’s literally the best ward mission leader I’ve ever seen. His name is Hermano Merando. He’s so amazing. Never seen anyone better than that, never seen anyone cuter than him.

But anyway, let me think what else happened this week…. Oh, yesterday on Sunday, we were able to have 7 lessons, which was nice because the rest of the week we had nothing. It was mostly with members because a lot of members don’t have the opportunity to take the sacrament, so we go over and give that to them, so that was nice. Also yesterday, Esperanza and Montserrat, who are the 2 investigators who dropped us after they read the entire Book of Mormon in a month, which was super freaking cool. Never seen anyone cooler than that! But they dropped us after reading about polygamy on the internet and then had a lot of doubts and decided they didn’t want to talk to us anymore. We decided we weren’t going to let her do that, so we made a bunch of brownies and went over to her house, a pretty bold move! We wrote some notes that apologized but that we could talk about it now if she has questions. It was kind of awkward after getting to her house because she opened the door and only had a towel on after getting out of the shower… And she was really caught off guard and freaks out. We were like, “Hey, here’s some brownies,” and we didn’t know what else to say. So we gave her the brownies with the notes and left within 30 seconds! But later she messages us and she’s like, “Hey guys, it was nice to see you. It’s not your fault and you’re always welcome at my house.” So that’s cool! We’re back in, WE’RE BACK IN! That’s nice.

Besides that, I’ve been trying so hard to just get lessons going, but it’s been a struggle. So I guess really, that’s our week. We did take some good pictures. I’ll add them below.
