No transfer this time!

We had transfers. Elder Vang and I are staying together for at least one more. After that he'll probably leave and I could possibly train. That would put me at about 22 1/2 months, and then I would leave somewhere for 6 weeks. That would be fun, but it sucks to be put into an area for only 6 weeks and know it. It makes it hard because if someone hasn't come after 3 weeks, there is no way to baptize before you go home, so it's really hard to not die. I'm glad with the way that transfers are working out. I'm happy to be with Elder Vang for at least one more transfer. The work is slowly picking up. We're organizing a blitz in our area and a lot of the members are really excited about it. They were asking how they could help and how it all works. They're going to try to match the number of missionaries that come so that we can split rather than just jumble up companionships. I really like this ward and the people are great. I really like Corona.

I'm not sinking, I'm just kicking it at sea level.

This week was tiring. No joke, I got home last night and slept from/ went to bed at 9:30. I spent 6 hours in meetings yesterday alone. That was crazy. Then we had crossfit this morning. That hurt. But I got to go to Riverside. I want to finish my mission there so bad. I miss Riverside. I had so much fun there. That's like my home. It's a shipwreck, but it's my shipwreck. The sister's in my district are baptizing like crazy. If they keep it up, they'll be baptizing every week for a month straight. That's really good. We're kicking it hard here and working where we can.

Only 6 months to go!

6 months to go. I still feel like I've been out 6 months. Dang. Whatev. We're going to kill it and then peace out. I feel like that's how your mission should end. Just be there one day, then not the next. Set people to be successful in the gospel and then disappear. No glory, nothing to brag about. Do your job, bring people closer to Christ, keep in touch, but disappear when someone blinks just a second too long. Anyway, that's this week. We went to a minor league baseball game on Friday. It was cool. It was in Lake Elsinore, and a ton of missionaries were there. It was good to see everyone again.

Got antsy and did some stuff today. 


Saw a baseball game on Friday. It was cool. Tons of members from Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. I miss them. I saw a ton of missionaries as well. 



Sometimes I don't shave until like 5:55 on p-days. I just wish you guys could really appreciate this shot


We call him Baby Face Smith. Because he's got a booty, doe.

Looked in the back up camera on our Cruz and saw a pleasant surprise. I cut Elder Smith's hair.
