Q: The best thing that has happened this week?
A: Hmmmm, well, one is that we were doing work on Tuesday night, I think, and we were visiting less active members and it started to rain a little. As we were walking out of the apartment building we were in we saw a family trying to get into their house because they had accidently locked themselves out. (I know they lived there ‘cause they had talked with the manager to get a screw driver to try and get the window open) But the kid was too short and was standing on the other side of the rail on the second floor and his mom holding his shirt. So I did what I do, I helped. I did not realize that I am actually quite good at breaking into apartments because I got them in in a hurry. Hurray for long arms and problem solving! haha. Then we also found a new investigator this week, her name is Angel. She is 17 and is dating a less active boy from the North Hollywood 5th Spanish ward. She is willing to listen and learn and read so we should be meeting with her later in the week. Hope she actually read and prayed.
We did as much as we could with it being New Year’s this week. We had a 7 pm curfew for New Year’s Eve, but for some reason the New Year’s Eve day they dropped the curfew, so yeah. The member wouldn't let us leave until we watched the ball drop on New York time zone so she was all fretting about it and then they go to turn it on and we had missed it! So it was a bust, haha, oh well.
Our investigators are doing pretty well. It’s the members I am more worried about right now. We don't have a ward mission leader right now because ours, about a week or two before I showed up, decided to become less active. We have an assistant ward mission leader but not a WML. The ward is an interesting ward, everyone either goes less active, moves, or dies. The Valley is a sad place at times. Elder Burgess has been in the area for 3 months so we are thinking that he will either transfer this one or not .... yeah that was deep, we know.
We have finished our 2 weeks of winter and are now back to summer, haha. It is about 75 outside right now and it is 11am. Your trip sounds cool. I think that it will super fun and I will be going on a trip this weekend too! I will be going to Sherman Oaks on an exchange with the District Leader, so yeah it will be a fun trip. They are on bike too so we will enlist one of the other two elders who have a car to drive us to the exchange.
I love you all too, I miss you and I pray for y'all as well. Well, I would like to send photos but the LA county library's computers have so many restrictions it won't let me in to my card to send photos so um I guess it will just have to wait for a slide show when I get home.
Love
Elder Hyde
