Hi guys :) so this week was good, we had lunch with some members from Temecula that wanted to see me before I leave. They are the best. We went to the fish shop. I have been wanting to go there ever since I got here. My whole mission I've been craving fish and chips with clam chowder and I finally got it!!!! It was so good:)      So this week Sister Stout (The lady we live with) left to go on a month and a half vacation to her cabin in Island Park Idaho. So she wanted to take us out to ice cream before I left. She told us to be at Handel's ice cream at 3:30 and we even left the house the same time as her. So we show up and are standing in line... just waiting. Finally it's been about 15 minutes and she's still not there so we called her and she told us that she had decided to go somewhere else with her granddaughters without telling us.. so we got stood up by an 88 year old haha. She is such a funny lady. So we got ice cream anyways:)      On Saturday we ha...

Hi guys      We had a great week this week!!! Last pday right at the end, I was playing volleyball and I landed on my foot super hard and I think I bruised the bone. I could barely walk on it but I still went out and worked hard. Even with a little limp haha :) we had our last lessons with Mario and Janet before their baptism this week! Seriously it was such a beautiful baptism. One of the best I've ever been to. They were so happy and still are!      Saturday was kind of a crazy day for us.... so my companion has been having some problems with her stomach. She feels like she's going to throw up all day and feels like her food stays in her throat after she eats it and doesn't go down to her stomach. At nights she hasn't been able to sleep because she feels like she can't breathe because all the food is stuck in her throat. So I called the mission nurse and she came over to look at her. Then we got sent to Urgent Care! We were in the hospital for hoursssss. ...

Wow this week went by super fast. Crazy.      We got to help check all of the cars this week at some other zone conferences. It was kinda fun. Learned some things about cars that I didn't know. Not that impressive tho because I didn't know anything about cars.      We have been helping prepare Mario and Janet for their baptism and they both passed their interviews yesterday!!!! It was super cool, they were awesome and soooo excited. They want to go to the temple to do baptisms before I go home so that will be super special for me:)))      Also it was the 4th of July!!!! Best day of the year. Well my comp and I got invited to the Del Mar wards breakfast. It was fun to go and hear patriotic music haha. That was the day Lyse got home!! proud of her :') we did service that day and had a lesson. All the missionaries were supposed to be in a church building by 6 pm. We had a little missionary "party". We just played volleyball and some people grill...

We had a crazy week as usual. We are seriously so busy every day.      We had to take our car in this week to get the oil changed and stuff and while we were waiting for it to be done we went and studied by the ocean. It was super peaceful.      This week we had exchanges with our Stls and it was funny because I was with Sister Langton, my previous companion for the day. It felt kinda weird honestly but it was fun. We had a bunch of service that day and we got to see some of the people she was close with while she was here.      We had a great 2 lessons with Ben this week. He is still trying to believe in God and so we told him that he needs to start living the commandments and see how his life changes. So we taught him the word of wisdom and the law of chastity and we committed him to live them both for 1 week and see how his life changes. He is doing great so far! He also fasted yesterday. It was super cute bc when anyone would ask him how ...
