Evan and friend Elder R So on Sunday I woke up super early in the morning and i sat there for a long time trying to decide if it was me accidentally waking up or whether I had heard my companion talking (I was dreaming that we were doing companion study). The reason I didn't want to get out is because I am on the top bunk with no ladder so it takes some effort to get in and out of bed. Then we had district meeting which was taught by a companionship, it was pretty meh, but someone made an excellent point and nd I was like WOOOOOOOAH! which actually occurs almost every day here I am always learning something new, and I love that. Also we were talking about the creation and one dude said he was thankful he was for how green Utah was and I was like, "NO BOI". Anyway afterwards we had our branch meeting, he announced us noobs [ new arrivals for us old people ] which was two districts, and then who was leaving, I think there were three districts leav...
We were able to go worship in the temple this week, which was fantastic, it is always super peaceful in there. We also saw quite a few members from the Prospect park ward and the Baseline ward, which have been previous areas for both me and my companion. It was also good to be back in Redlands again. We also have been caroling quite a bit recently, it has been super fun to sing a christmas song, show people a light the world video, and then invite them to learn more, and ask who else would like a song sung to them.

We also went caroling with the youth, which while there aren't that many, they are lots of fun. The invitation Sunday, yesterday was alot of fun, we had a lot of member families we are working with show up, it was really good to see them make it out. We also made a trip to Don...
My favorite thing as a missionary is the miracle of people you are trying to get into contact with replying to your text, or returning a call. And that happened this week, so put that in the record books. I met the bishop and he is awesome. He is a chemical engineer who is an inventor on the side. He made a coconut milk to biodiesel thing that is self sufficient and it is in Tonga. He also invented a nail polish remover that doesn't strip the nails. He named it after his daughter. Meanwhile we had a bit of an ant genocide, the elders left some trash when they left and we just found it. We followed the trail of ants, so one of the Elders in the apartment got the Windex and sprayed them down. We have won the war. We also did service for a man with a turtle named Toby. Everything else is irrelevant. We had an excellent zone conference, I learned how to be a missionary, it was great! We learned how to receive revelation, as well as helping the investigators ...
