Paramount Studio's

Hey y'all, this was great!! 🤘✌🤘 we hit the payment a lot and
didn't see much success, but we still have our three baptismal dates
and they are super solid.

Well Last Monday, My Companion Got Dear John'd( when you are dating
someone on the mission, and they break up with you) and he took it
like a champion!

On Tuesday we hit the pavement and worked supper hard to try to find
new people and some people are just not ready but we keep working
hard.

And Wednesday thru Saturday we worked with our Baptismal dates and
that's a super blessing.
Well that just sums up the week
Oh... We went to paramount studio today so that was cool, we had a
tour and got to go on sets and stuff... Dr. Phill was there, and he
drives a cherry red Ferrari. Here are some pics
Love y'all stay safe 🙏🙏🙏🙏🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

BUSINESS IS BOOMING

How is it going ya'll, this week has been supper cool and we saw a lot of tender mercies of the lord. So on Tuesday I got my new companion, His name is Elder Zabriskie, He is from Idaho, he is cool.

On Wednesday, We went to go teach the recent convert Lessons to a little girl that got baptized my first week here and she is in a part member Family. So we went to go teach these Recent convert lessons and we walk in the house, and we were talking to them, then the mom gets up and just leaves. I'm like What tha Heck!! and then like Two minutes later she brings in about 6 Kids in her house and says pointing at some kids" these two have not been baptized yet"!! and know i'm like, What tha Heck!! So we extend the baptismal dates and they said yes. So they Will be Baptized on December 18. ( Shout out to my cuz Luis because that's his Brithdate)   and then she said that there is another kid who still needs to get Baptized, So we have a possibility of 3, and we are about to set a couple more this week. 


well That's mostly of all what happened This week!  Well the Legalized Marijuana, so that'

s very sad! We saw a little twelve year old doing it, i almost cried.

Well Have a great thanksgiving, we have dinner with some Samoans So we will eat like Kings. 

love ya'll, stay safe!!, Stay lit.

Transfer week

So this week has Flew By! 

so on Wednesday We taught the lady we met at the Buddha Shop and it was supper cool because as we were setting expectations with here, telling her that she would have to read out the book of Mormon, and she told us she is already in the Book of Jacob so that was so COOL! She is about as golden as you can get, she understands a lot, but the only problem is that she lives out of our area, and on Sunday Bishop said that we need to Refer her to the other elders, i was so sad.

And then on Thursday we were driving back from exchanges and saw this guy rocking out on the side of the rode, I would have gave him some money but i'm broke as well.

and then on Sunday We Had our Transfer calls and i am staying in the Carson Area for another six weeks So that is exciting.



oh sister Green Fell and Fractured her hip. She is 91 years old and she has the funniest stories.
one of her stories( a true story) is that her and her Husband worked at the Forum For 15 years. ( it is an arena that the Lakers played at and the Los Angeles Kings Hokey team) and her husband Told Pat Riley wife that she walked like a penguin ! and after that she made her a quilt. This lady was on First name Basis with the Kings Organization , and Pat Riley ( NBA Hall Of Fame Coach) 


Well everything going good.... Stay Strong My Friends

Gang Members

So this week Zoomed By super fast, so on Monday, We went to the Korean Friendship Bell that was So awesome I got some cool pics. 

This Tuesday, we spent all day proselyting we knocked about 100 Doors( im Exaggerating) But no one wanted to answer the door so i was kinda ticked about that, we would look at them thru the window and they would look at us and just sit back down, so that sucks! I Have Never Been So Salty In My Life!

Wednesday was a cool Day, We found some success, and set a couple of return appointments. and then on Wednesday Night we Had to go teach a little girl the recent convert lessons, and she lives in this community called Scottsdale. I'll tell you a little about this Scottsdale community... They have Guards Strapped up to the T who walk Around the Neighborhood. Its Mad Ghetto! So the guards let us in, you have to walk in Because you have to have a permit to Park. So me and My comp are walking and I Heard a noise from a distance,  It sounded like Someone was yelling. as i got closer, the noise starts to distinct itself. and there is a group of like 7 People yelling 
SUWOOPP!!! and AYE BLOOD. My Companion Doesn't know whats Going on(Born in Utah soo that says something) , He didn't even Know what they were saying. So I, Elder Patrick Having Been Born of Goodly Parents, Therefore I was Taught somewhat in all the learning of my father ( That's The First Nephi Quote... You like that Huhhh) Decided To Cross the Street. ( You can call me a life saver) Then we taught the lesson and got out of there. 

And then On Sunday we had Fast and Testimony meeting, That was good, and Our Good lady from the Buddah Shop was there so that was Sweet! 

Well Its Just been Another week in LA, Talk to Yall soon
Love Elder Patrick 

Oh the Mission Address is 
1591 E Temple Way Los Angeles CA, 90024 

ps. Pray always 





                                             

Breaking in Apartments

hey guys, so this week has been a eventful week, well ill start of from Last Monday. 

so last Monday, we went on a hike in Palos Verdes, and before we went there, the companionship that was with us wanted to go Eat some Filipino food. And My companion and i didn't want to go so we walked next door because i wanted to see the Buddah shop. So I walk in and the lady sees our name tag and ask what church we are from, and we tell her and she was like " i went to your church last week and i saw you give a talk, on obedience"  She later told us that she had started to investigation the church because he brother is a member so that was cool. 

So on Tuesday President kinda cracked down on the rules And on how some of the missionaries are taking advantage  of the Technology. so a couple rotten apples do spoil a whole tree!


So on Friday, i went on exchanges with Elder Lozada, he is a funny Guy. And our dinner appointment was at the one place you don't want to take missionaries, A Weeding Reception. it Was a Samoan Reception So the fed Us good. 

and then Saturday Night was a Crazy day. So the Every night The Missionaries in our district have to text in to our district leader, Who is my companion, and this one set of elders didn't text in. So we Called them like Three times, No answer. Call the Zone Leaders to tell them, They Called them, No answer. We had the AP's Call them, No answer. So they Told us to go to their Apartment to see if they are home. We go there and a lady wont let us in ( she hate us cause she ain't us) so we sneak thru the Garage and go to their apartment and Knock  the door, No Answer. So using my savvy skills I open the window and make my companion go in (its a nice apartment and you don't want to see a black kid climbing thru the window of an apartment. i didn't want to make the NEWS) so we go in and they are passed out. and we woke them up.

That's all that happened this Week.

FEMA Camps and Weird Houses

So how is it going Yall, this week has been an adventurous week. 
so i will start off telling y'all about all the people we are currently teaching, well we have been trying to find many people to talk to but we always get played. In our mission we do a ton of street contacting because tracking is not a very productive way to find people. well we talk to them they sound really nice, and we ask them hey can we come by your house and share a quick message and they give us an address we go looking for it the next day and the address is fake! 

Well  My companion and I were trying some potentials and we saw this Hispanic lady ( all of LA) so we are going to pass her by fearing that she doesn't speak English, and then i got and impression to try to talk with her, and what do you know, she speaks perfect English! and we taught her and her husband the first lesson so that was cool 

Now to My title, we were trying Former Investigators and we came across this dude and we went up to talk with him and the experience was funny. This Guy was talking about how in like a couple months The US Government is going to bust in our house and ask if we believe in god. And if we do they are going to take us to FEMA camps and basically kill us. I thought the dude was on drugs. and then me And Elder Ng went on exchanges, Elder Ng is a Elder from Hong Kong and he is so funny and we stop by this dudes house and it was kinda cool. 

well thats all that happened this week talk to y'all soon 

ps: Pray always 


Weird guys house, he might have been smoking some weed.

September 26, 2016

Hey guys this week has been great. Alot of cool things have happened. last Monday we went out to San Pedro and that was cool, and we had Korean BBQ and that was cool. and on Thursday we went to sister Greens and she is a lady that has been feeding the Missionaries since 1980 on every Thursday . On Friday I went Exchanges to Lomita and the Elders In that area cover a Samoan ward so We ate A LOT!!!! we Proselyted for about 35 Hours this whole week and we saw some interesting thing on the streets of LA. and On Sunday we Had a family from Panama attend church, so that was cool. And on Sunday Night I had to drop an investigator because he wasn't keeping commitments, so that was very sad.   And this is all that happened this week.
