Talofa tagata uma!
Hello everyone!
This week has been da best!!
I'm loving it down here in Lomita! Being in a Samoan ward has been tons of fun! They aren't lying when they say Samoans feed you a lot! I think I need to practice my Samoan tho. It's tricky! Pronouncing the names is an adventure! I'm still trying to figure out how to say Brother Ho'onuikaiminaokapono's name 
One of the first things we did this week was we went to an assisted living center and played BINGO! I never knew bingo could be so intense! The patients get pretty into it and like to make fun of each other when they can't hear what number was called. It was lots of fun!
One of the investigators we are working with is a Japanese investigator named C__. It's been a lot of fun to teach her so far! She doesnt know too much English so Elder Killian does most of the teaching but it gives me a chance to use a little bit of the Japanese Elder Killian has been teaching me! That's been way cool! Everyday we have a mini language study where he teaches me a bit.

This week we've got to help a couple of really interesting people move. On Thursday we helped this couple that was living Anaheim move into our ward boundaries. They were meeting with missionaries in Anaheim so we inherited some new investigators! They are from Iran and have been living in America for only a year or two now. They're English is really good but they're first language is farsi so we might have the farsi elders help us teach them too. The other person we helped move is a Japanese lady but she has lived in Peru most of her life so she knows mostly Spanish and some English. We were talking about where she was moving and everything and found out she is moving to Utah! She is a flavor developer and said that Utah just had its first "flavor house" open up so that's why she's moving there. I had no idea that flavor houses were even a thing.
Sunday was great too! Because I'm covering two wards I get to go to church twice. We start off going to the Samoan ward sacrament meeting which is all in Samoan so I can't understand what they are saying most of the time But then after that we normally go to the English ward but this week during sacrament meeting the stake president got up and made an announcement that the sewer backed up and the church was flooding! So they canceled church and we all went home!
Today for p-day we went bowling and then Elder Killian taught us how to make gyōza!
