SoCal or SoHemisphere?

Merry Christmas!.. Almost. 
This week was so fun!

The fires have made life very entertaining and the smoke has made the sunsets and the moon look super cool! Plus this week has NOT felt like winter at all! It's been hot! It was like 85 degrees all week long. 


The fires haven't changed anything really for us yet but it's been crazy to see how many there have been and how they just keep burning! I think there have been 5 or 6 fires around here so far and all but one have been on the other side of the mountains so I think im safe. Earlier in the week the fires were lighting up the sky with a red glow so you could see the silhouette of the mountains and then a red sky. It was so cool looking! I should've snapped a picture but we were in a rush.

The Christmas devotional was another exciting part of the week. We got to watch a Christmas movie and listen to talks and eat tonnnnns of food! It was lots of fun and got me super pumped for Christmas!


Saturday and Sunday were the BEST! On Saturday we spent the whole day just finding because we haven't been able to find anyone lately. So we just walked around our area just talking to everyone we could and it was entertaining to say the least! We met this guys who was crazzzzzzy! Elder Patrick couldn't pass up the photo op so we got this gem ðŸ˜‚



And then we saw a house that had lots of really cool Christmas decorations so we went up and knocked on their door. We started talking with them and it turned out to be a grandma and her grandson and the grandma eventually let us know that her grandson was a baseball prodigy so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play a little baseball. So we played catch for a little bit and he pitched and he turned out to be super good! I took a pic just in case he becomes a huge MLB player someday. 



Then we found a cool mural so once again we had to take pics.





Then after all that we had dinner with bro Vasquez who feeds us every Saturday. 


Then on Sunday it was awesome! We had TWO people just show up to church and want to meet with us! And one of them has a sister that just got back from a mission in Mexico that's teaching her about the church so that's going to be an awesome help!

Have a great week!
