Elder San Diego

Elder Chen and I at the Cultural Celebration 

Hello, Y'all!  It's been a really fun week!  Tuesday, at the end of the day we played basketball, hung out with the zone and had a pizza party lunch thing. We also got our mail. That evening, my companions and I went to go find former investigators. We also did some street contacting until we had to go do an exchange with some elders.  Wednesday, we went to go find less-active members and investors until we had an appointment with Keith (who's a conspiracy theory man).

Shout-out to Elder Cook and Elder Lalli for being so humble, strong, and helpful as they experience one of the hardest things while on a mission. They had to leave Puerto Rico and the people who they love and cherish. They also had to experience something that we shouldn't go through, but there will be times like that where we need to turn to Christ and ask for help because we can't ...
