New Transfer is a Petting Zoo

HELLO ONE AND ALL FROM GOOD OL' CALI, USA! HAPPY 4TH!!! 🎆🎉🇺🇸Hope y'all are enjoying ribs and BBQ and whatnot. I'll be here eating tortillas ;) ✌🏼

So we had a lovely week full of lots of random things!! I got to hold a parrot and a turtle and a couple of not annoying dogs! That was fun :) haha

So cool things: we found this former investigator who's super cool! We had like 3 lessons with him this week and then he came to church!!! So great :) his name's Victor and he's a kinda loquito but he's cool. We're thinking he'll be able to be baptized pretty soon here! We also met this referral named Marlin. We had a sweet Book of Mormon lesson with her when we first me here and we threw it DOWN!! It was so good, but then at the end she goes "wait... How did you find me?" Hahahahaha awkward.... That sometimes happens with referrals, especially when they come from, say, Texas and have been in Pasadena for like 2 whole weeks and you show up asking for them by name... Yep. Good stuff. But anyway, we've been looking for a lot of new people this week and haven't had tons of luck, but it's been alright :) there are fun things every day that keep us happy even when all our plans fall through and people reject us hardcore.

Living with the English sisters is a hoot and we love them :) Sister Newman is from Ethiopia and Sister Christiansen is from Florida and is basically a twig. They're both a lot of fun and they're adorable :)

And of course, this week was full of more yummy food, including (but not limited to) the BEST chocolate ice cream of my LIFE, pupusas, and a black roll made of squid ink from a Taiwanese bakery?! Haha tasted like garlic bread though! Haha we et lots of great stuff out here ;)

Love y'all!
