Life is always an adventure in the Moreno Valley

Hey,
This week has been...interesting. We finally met with Jesus this week. Turns out that he wasn't in jail like we thought. But nothing has changed. He's still with his girlfriend that has the emotional maturity of a 6 year old. We were in a lesson last night with him and she refuses to leave his side, but she only berates him, curses at him, and has a constant scowl on her face. We're talking about Mosiah 2:20-25 and how Heavenly Father has given us everything and even if we served him absolutely perfectly, there is no way that we'd be able to pay him back, and she just out of no where calls him a liar and sucker punches him right in the jaw. Jesus gets pissed and dumps a whole glass of Kool-Aid on her and all Hell breaks loose. They're rumbling and pushing each other and Jesus' parents are yelling in Spanish, and a few words that I do know weren't good. Rampton and I are just chilling on the couch trying not to get stabbed (she went to jail for stabbing Jesus) or get a lamp thrown at us. Every time I go over to Jesus', I just think, "What...the...crap is my life right now?" After a phone call to the cops and 45 minutes later we're late for dinner and I've aged a year. Rampton won't let us drop him so we go over and endure and hope he gets the guts to break up with her and throw her out. He almost did last night, but the cop said that since she paid rent for the week, he can't throw her out because then it's an unlawful conviction. They both told the cops that it was just arguing and that no violence actually took place, even though she straight up punched him in the jaw, but whatever. We're going to have a "get your butt in line, or you're dropped" lesson. Every time we go over there I witness straight domestic violence.
Serene is super solid, though. She isn't getting baptized for a little bit, though.  But...she admitted that she has a huge crush on me. Yaaayyyy...if it escalates I have to inform President, which could result in an emergency transfer. I told him about it on Friday when we had interviews and he said to just watch my step. Which I agree with. It's not going to be a problem, though. She's Tyler's age and has 3 kids. #Pass. I saw Meet the Mormons on Friday as well. It was pretty good. There is a section about a football coach from Maryland and McConkie is from Maryland. He knows them and pretty much everyone in that section. They're in his homeward.
Honestly, I'm kind of struggling with depression again. The area is fine, the ward is fine, we have investigators, but the stress of all that comes with the work is just starting to get to me. I hate using the phrase "burnt out" because it means that you're giving up on yourself and the Lord, but most days are pretty hard for me to get up. I don't think I was actually up at 6:30 this entire week. Biking isn't bad, my knee is giving me a little trouble, but it's probably nothing, and nothing about the area, its people, or the work in and of itself is bad, but for some reason it's just eating at me. Anyway, this just happens from time to time. Today might be hard, tomorrow might be hard, the rest of this transfer might be hard, but one day it won't be. So I'll just hold out until that day and pray for the strength to endure.
I'm excited for Jared to get his call. Hopefully it's this Wednesday. I'm glad that Kylee is doing better.
Anyway,
Love you guys,
Cody
