May 1, 2017

So this week has been interesting.... there has been moments this week

where I just wanna say Skr Skr... but shout outs must come first !!

coming the CLAM!!! We are definitely gonna hang out on a Pday

👊🏽✊🏽✊🏽The CLAM only recruits the Best☝🏽💪🏽💪🏽👌🏽... Welcome to

the Fam !! Your gonna give all my VC tours 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yeah so this week has been pretty interesting. So my first Skr Skr

moment happened on Tuesday,  we were out talking to people and we

started to talk to this little Pakistani lady 🇵🇰and we were talking

about religion, and some of our differences and some of our common

ground. And we were like "can we come and share a lesson with you" and

she was like "Sure". And we gave her a pamphlet and said "could you

read this" well we start to walk away and the lady is like " let me

get you something" so we are like ok 👌🏽 some water  💧💧. This lady

comes back and gives us a Qumran. I've never dropped something so fast

in my life when she gave it to me.. I was like no 👐🏽🤚🏽

🙅🏼🙅🏼🙅🏼, then we try to leave🏃🏿 , and she was like promise me

you'll read it.... nah fam.  She was supper nice though !

Also on Tuesday night we were able to set a baptismal date with our

investigators Philly... he is 21 Supper awesome funny  kid, but he has

to get married and stop drinking ❌🚫🚫❌ 🍹 ✋

So We set the date for the 4th of June so we have some to work with him!

On Wednesday we got a text from our boy Roman saying that he doesn't

want to meet with us anymore, so we stopped by to figure out what his

concern was, and it was on tithing. So we got all those matters

figured out. But then on Friday, he calls us and I ask how he was

doing with smoking no cigarettes and he told us that he smoked 1 at

work, he went  a week without smoking cigarettes so that made us

supper sad to see him give into temptation!

My next Skr Skr moment happened  on the way to an appointment we saw

this cop 👮🏽and I was like let's go tell him to check out Mormon.org

( All cops that I have talked to speak to us with supper high respect

because we are doing the work of the lord, and they are all supper

nice, we respect their authority and they respect ours ) well this guy

I guess was talking to his girlfriend and got supper offended that we

tried to talk with him and told us to get out his face. This guy

wasn't even a real cop, this guy looked like he patrolled the mall

parking lot on Thursday nights in Palos Verdes and hated his job . But

I respected his authority ✊🏽 and turned the other cheek like Jesus

taught! So after I got disrespected/humiliated ,I was not the happiest

camper , so we were walking to our next appointment and I heard

someone banging that 2pac (Because that's what people do here in LA ,

they put their music on blast and roll down the windows, I have

basically heard Kendrick Lamars new album, and future . )the lyrics

said "keep ya head up".... I thought that was supper amazing!

Then my Skr Skr  senses started to tingle on Friday as we were

walking to one of our appointments and we see some people hotboxing so

we just pass and I see someone signal in the car so I just pass by,

but on the way back to our car they roll down the window and was like

" Aye you tryna hit" , as soon as she rolled it was like a fog machine

that got hooked up to her car! "We were like nahh"  then she was

acting all ghetto... My comp from Utah has no idea what's going on...

but we had interesting conversation with those people

Yo I was so stoked to see john get Baptized! And she see Mavi.... I

mean sister Ontiveros come to the CLAM!! I know the church is supper

true! I am so glad to be serving Gods son! I love it out here ❤️❤️!

Oh BTW I'm got transferred to the HP Zone, I'm in south central so

that's live 🔫🔫🔫

Oh some one in the Ward got drafted by the Bucks the other day! ✊🏽✊🏽
