Elder Cody Greenburg: Transfer 3, week 3

That's crazy about Kylee. I hope all goes well. I know that it will, but for sure do a blessing before hand. Always include the Lord's help. Satan is very good at making us think that we don't need to use our Heavenly Father's and Christ's help.
This week was good. We hit Standard of Excellence again, and Mark and Diane got baptized! They're super awesome. I love Mark. He has such a dry humor and is really sarcastic. Their daughter Lauren (in the green dress) got baptized about 3 years ago, then she married her husband Ryan (in the grey suit) last month in the Manti Temple. So they've been investigating the church off and on for a couple of years and we finally got them. We were just the guys who tipped them over the edge after years of other missionaries hard work. It was a weird week as well.
We dropped William because...well, he's racist, sexist, and a conspiracy theorist. Haha. He's a 24 year old black guy that refused to make and keep commitments. He believes that the white man is keeping black people down by controlling the food industry and feeding everyone crap food that is making us dumb. Now, I love conspiracy theories as much as the next guy, but that's just waaaayyyy out there. He told us that Mormon's are cool because we practice what we preach, but that it "hurts his spirit when there aren't a lot of black people at church." He said that he just needs to draw a line and say, "What's Africa is Africa and what's Europe is Europe". So I told him that the Bible was translated by European's and that if we're following his line of logic, he didn't believe in the Bible anymore. He told us that the Bible really came from Africa. It was...interesting. Haha.

We have Vasti on date for the 22nd this month and she's really solid. She's just waiting for her cast to come off, and just has to keep coming to church. It's been a good, but weird transfer so far. Elder Hughes is a good guy. He taught me have to play a card game called "Golf". We play that a lot on lunch hours or at night before bed.
I might get transferred, I might not. If I don't, it'll be a hard 7 weeks because we'll be going back into finding mode. That's the price of baptizing all of your investigators.

We witnessed some lady back into another car on a street outside Azuree's house on Wednesday. The police didn't get involved because Cali police just don't care. Haha. Everyone speeds because they know that the cops have better things to do than to give speeding tickets. I've gotten used to driving in Cali. I'd probably be considered a jerk driver in Utah. Soooo many last minute lane changes. Cutting people off doesn't even scare me anymore. "Oop, there's that guy's finger. Byeeeeeee." Haha.

Yeah, I ran into my friend Jeff Hofeins old companion selling Vivint outside Mark and Diane's house. He was comp's with Jeff for 6 months, and Jeff was his best man at his wedding. They also taught Al Fox. So...they're dope. Haha. I haven't got that package yet, but I'm sure it'll get here.
