Week 52.....A Year Serving the Lord


So it's Thursday now so I missed a lot, but pretty much the news for the most part is now elder steenblik is serving here and he is liking it quite a bit, he just came from serving about 9 months in the Baltimore zone so it's new for him he hasn't left maryland, until now.
We have had a pretty good past couple days we have been basically just trying to get the area rounded up with loose potentials running around the area book app planner,I am now trying to shift over to using phone planners instead of paper,
Lets just say It took a long time to plan this morning  that we have introduced him to a couple members of our ward so far.
We rode bikes a lot today and we hadn't rode bikes in awhile and I about threw up because it was so hot and muggy and exhausted of pedaling up what seems endless hills.
We stopped by some cool members the peris family and and the mom, she is from Idaho falls and they just got done visiting family there
We were sharing a message with them and they have a little 1 and a half year old baby named Evelyn who just started walking, well mid spiritual sentence she crawled on the couch and fell off backwards so she had a good little screaming session then we went back to it. So that was fun.
There was a lady who wanted us to bless her house because she saw a snake in the backyard, she's a little crazy, good thing she's the sisters gator.
We never actually went over there to do that but it's an as you wish thing so when she wants us to we will I guess . But if I bless it I am going to say that I have a feeling that you doing drugs attracts snakes and I bless that if you stop they will go away.
My faith is sufficient
Well anyways that a little bit of the days I missed and it's about today as well.
Goodnight.

Friday- so today as Got up and got ready we got the car today so that's awesome because it said it was suppose to be high humidity and 91 degrees soooo hot really hot
We had a couple things set for today we had lunch then we went to the leasing office to check in the new missionary which costs 45 dollars and someone had also taken a fire extinguisher and sprayed it all over the entrance to the complex, (super funny people.)
We then went to a gator named Andrew and he had lost his scriptures again for the 4th time and then we asked him where he was reading last and he opened up a random page and said about the end of mosiah. I got fed up with it so I may have told him off in a nice way, after that he said he would read from the beginning and not lose it.
We had a dinner appointment with a young family the Galarzas they both served a mission in Bolivia and then came back and got married, they have to kids who were both sick so hopefully I don't get a cold or something, but anyways we got to talking about kids and they said they are naming there next son after me they have it planned out
Killian Wolfe Galarza. Kinda interesting name but they were serious about it so I rolled with it. 




Then we had a sick lesson with Matthew. Who has almost quit smoking he said he has had 5 cigarettes the past 3 days and now has 2 cigars left and he is done. That's pretty good from being 3 weeks ago 2 packs a day kinda guy, he is super excited for baptism.
After that we went to street contact in the city so we were walking around and I saw this glass beer bottle and thought I would do a good deed and kick it off the sidewalk and into the grass, so I kicked it and it slid into a curb and it was lowd and it shattered everywhere and some old guy sitting on his porch just yelled what was that, it was dark and hard to see so we just walked away before anyone saw it was me. So that's me changing the world one flat bike tire at a time
Anyways it's time for night time.

Saturday- got to and from the get go we walked and walked so much we have received a list of new rules and emphasis on previous ones and it will take time to adjust now, anyways today was basically a lot of hard work and walking but we picked up 4 investigators and set solid return appointments.

Sunday- got up exhausted this morning from walking last night and breathing heavy on the humidity when walking is not good so I have a little cough now, but none the less we went to church, we got there and Matthew came to church again. And the sisters had someone come to church then we went to work after church, we had missionary coordination and we went with the sisters to our ward mission leaders house, him and his wife and his son and his sons girlfriend were there, we ate and we got to talking about his sons mission and it turns out that his son Nick Padilla had served a mission in Australia and Cody Babneau was his zone leader in one of his areas
So it is a small world after all then we went and a sister wanted a blessing and so we did that and went to the vineyard, we were walking down this street and these 2 kids were playing curb ball which I guess in the ghetto you get a basketball and 2 people stand on each side of the road an try to hit the opposite curb with the ball. So elder Steenblik was on coltons team and I was on Aliyahs, of course we won and then it was time to head back and by the way In 3 days I will be at my 1 year mark
so yep goodnight.
