Here Comes The Heat

California is a very much different climate to say the least. It is very hot, dry, and the air is basically smoke (In Fresno anyways). People here call it "Smogville." Somewhat unsettling when I am running in the mornings. We have to drink a ton of water every day or else we die. It is typically in the 90s and it is still the Spring. YIKES. Maybe I will come home tan ;p (ya right. Ginger genes) Good news is, it poured all day on Saturday (which was also my half birthday!).

On to more spiritual things about the past week. We worked at a sweet service project on Saturday. We went to the Fresno State Bulldog Stadium and primed every single door that exists. It was a long four hours in the rain haha but afterwards I did cartwheels on the football field. Woohoo! It was super fun. We also found a couple more investigators this week which is super great! We are so excited to teach more people that are not already members. We teach a bunch of less-active and part-member though so it seems to balance out. Our investigator with a baptism date dropped us and it is really sad to see her do that, but she has her agency (freedom to choose). Also, my companion and I decided to do the PURIFICATION CHALLENGE. It is not as dramatic as I make it seem, but it is intense. It goes over the course of 40 days and we open with a fast (sacrifice two meals for 24 hours) to figure out what we should change to "purify" us more. It can be either sacrificing something or start doing something. Anything really! So we are on day 3. Hopefully my Companion and I stay together for another transfer (6 weeks), because next week is transfers! AH! I have been out almost three months now. I am almost done with training! WOW! 

Oh, another thing that happened is I gave a talk during sacrament meeting in one of our wards. We go to church for 6 hours every Sunday by the way since we have two wards and that does not include the meetings before and after. I have to go now, I am out of time. I love you all. Goodbye
