It's good to hear that all is well on your end of the world. It doesn't surprise me that Gavin and Riley are still wreaking havoc. Andrew looks like he's getting big. It's good that Allison is having her C-section and we will have another baby. Still no name, I guess. They either don't have one, and are making you all think they do, or it's a good one that they don't want anyone stealing. Knowing Tyler, it's a little of both. It's good that Cameron and Shelby are having a girl, It's good that Cameron got a better job with troubled youth. It's great that Ethan is getting married. Like you said, now it's down to Breanna. What's Caleb up to? Find out the deets on that new family in the ward, fellowship them. Our ward sucks at that, and now you have a common element. Make them your best friends. Everyone out here has dinners with other families in the ward and fellowships each other. It's something that I noticed never happens in Utah. Make them feel welcomed and at home. Yeah, get us our plaques! Haha. I want something to hang on my wall when I'm 45 and unmarried rolling in doe. Haha. Just kidding...(about the rolling doe part. Maybe. #BussinessAdministrationProbs).
This week was...lame. Haha. We only taught like 10 lessons, which suckkkssss. We met with Alex and found out that he doesn't even know if he has a desire to know if the Book of Mormon is true, or even wants a desire. No matter what way Hughes and I put a spin on it, he was just like, "Maybe...". I was like, "Look, we're making some pretty bold claims here. Either this book is 100% true, or 100% false. There is no 60/40 going on here. And if it's true, that means that Christ's original church that he himself set up when he is on the Earth has been restored, that means that the priesthood authority of God has been restored to the Earth through a modern day prophet, and we have a living prophet today. That sounds like something that's worth knowing right? I mean, if the Book of Mormon is true, it will literally change your life. Don't you want to know if it's true?" He said, "That sounds good. I don't know." So we asked him, "If it were true, would you act on it?" He said, "Maybe. Even if it were true, I don't know if this church would be the church for me." I lost it a little bit and looked at him right in the eyes and frustratingly said, "Alex, that doesn't make sense. If it's true, your search for the true church and Gospel of Christ is over. If this is true, but not right for you, something is off, and it's not the book." So he's on the list to be dropped this week. Ugh.
But Vasti got confirmed yesterday. That was good. She's great. We're working on her inactive dad, and his non-member wife and her three unbaptized daughters. It's fun out here, hard, but fun. I'm glad you like the shirt. 16 year old kids walk around with the hoodie form of that shirt on...at the end of July. #CaliKidsAreDumbSometimes. It was like 107 degrees on Thursday out here and it was overcast. It was soooooo humid. It doesn't even rain here during the summer, it just pretends and makes it muggy. We're super blessed with a car. Haha. Sorry, Helmet Biking Elders. Transfers are in two weeks on August 10th. Hopefully I'll get bounced elsewhere. I really feel like my time in Woodcrest is done. I'm just going to prepare for the worst. Doubled in, First Time District Leader, Training, on bike, in August, in the hilly part of Corona. That way, if anything else happens, it'll be pleasant. And if the above happens, my boy and I are going to kill it. #BornForAdversity. We kind of dropped Judy this last week as well. She flat out said that she wasn't committing to baptism, and won't for awhile. So...we kind of don't have anyone to teach. Hahaha. I came in with no one, I go out with no one. At least I left it the way I found it. Hahaha. That's terrible. No, we worked hard and found people ready for the Gospel, and I learned a lot.
Glad to hear that Kylee is doing better. Tell her to just keep following what the doctor says. He know's what he's doing.
Yeah, time is rolling by. No biggie.
Love you, happy birthday

This is Cooper, our homeshare's dog. That homie loves me. He tried to make out with me, and I almost let him. #TheStruggleIsReal. Also, I need to work out. My face is getting fat.
