| Valenica at night |
Sorry about last week, we were in the library and it had an hour limit on the computer since I couldn’t get a library card since no one has sent me a letter to my apartment which address is, by the way, 27800 N. McBean PKWY Apartment 357 Valencia, CA 91354.
Yeah, it’s pretty crazy, I’m down to like 244ish. It goes up and down by like one or 2 sometimes but that is the average. The work is pretty good. We knock a lot of doors cause in this area there isn’t like a shopping center or any other gathering place for humans, um yeah. We found this interesting guy he is kinda atheist but then he said too many coincidences happened so there has to be something. So he read like 40 or 50 religious books and then wrote his own. Kinda showing the similarities of them all but he said he was interested in what we had to say because normally he wouldn’t but for some reason he felt he should listen to us. So that was pretty cool and that was like at 8:55pm just before we were about to head home for the night.
The companion (our mission doesn’t use any abbreviations so no dl, zl, ap, pday, nor any slang so no greenie no whitewash no father son grandfather or died like when someone goes home they died may they rest in peace and all that jazz) he is a very patient guy, very quiet and organized and he is rubbing of on me I’m more organized than I have been in ever and I write neater too. He is a great match for me cause he is funny and loud sometimes but we do have different views on things sometimes but we discuss them and then we are good. He is very smart; he graduated at like 15 or 16 and is going to be a mech. engineer so yeah it’s pretty cool. Yeah a lot of people said that there a lot of them (mechanical engineers) but its ok. One member is a cop and another is FBI and then a member has a daughter and a son in law that are cops so we have people we can call if need be and then also I handle myself well too haha. Well we didn’t do a lot of interesting stuff this week just a lot of knocking and a lot of planning. And well, we had a short lesson on prayer with investigators, Ernie and Leticia, it was good. I committed them to pray as a couple ... Elder E did most of the other talking though. Still working on the teaching part but as you all know I talk to anyone on the street no problem. Elder E says I talked to people on the street right now 21 days out on par with him after he has been out for 8 months yesterday. So yeah that was pretty fun. We do feel the Spirit a lot though as we go about our day. During our 3 hours of study we pray all the time. And yeah so we have been trying to find people so they can hear the greatest news they can, the Gospel.
Well alas, I have ran out of time once again. Well I’m getting better but that is alright I will be super-fast ...... two days before I go home hahah! Well I love you all and hope y’all are well have a good week!
Love
Elder Hyde
Q&A with Elder Hyde
What are you currently?
Listening to - MOTAB and a few acapella groups from BYU that do hymns and that is it.
Eating - food just depends, bagels, meat, frozen pizzas, I just eat as much and I work out every morning and then walk around a lot so yeah I have lost a lot of weight but trying to not lose to much too quickly
Drinking - water.... yeah a bit of root beer at members’ houses but other than that water
Wearing – clothes - oh, I have to send all of my t- shirts home except one because there cannot be any logos on them at all. So yeah would be great to have more than one shirt and also did I leave shirts at home, white shirts? Because it seems like I have a lot less then I thought I did and it was the same at the MTC so I didn’t lose any. I got here with like five long sleeves and only four short sleeve or maybe less.
Feeling - I feel fine. Every so often a little discouraged cause no one wants to talk to us really
Wanting - homemade mommy food and a framed family picture, t-shirts no logos whatsoever
Needing - more letters so I feel the love
Thinking - I love you and am glad that you taught me how to be a good person
Enjoying -working and just being in more of a really church environment
Weather- Bloody hot like 90's to 100 it got up to 105 two three days ago
Who's driving- Elder Ehninger cause A. he is senior and B. he knows the area........ I am having a little bit of dad feelings where I really don’t like not being in control of the car
