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

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

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.
