Talofa friends and fam!
It was another great week in CLAM!
We had zone conference this week and Elder Dehlin got Samoan name tags which inspired him to go all out with learning Samoan. We've spent a good amount of time during meals and at night getting some practice in. Its been fun! We got to use a little Samoan at church yesterday with one of the members and the look on his face was priceless! He was shocked to hear some Samoan come out of our mouths.
Anyway, for the p-day and b-day last week we did some really fun stuff! We went hiking in Palos Verdes and got to see some more sweet views! It is really pretty being up on the Palos Verdes hill and looking out over the ocean. It never gets old! After that we went to Korean BBQ which was new to me. They bring out plates of raw meat and then you cook it yourself on a grill that's in the middle of the table. It was all you can eat so we stayed for two and a half hours just grilling some grub and chowin down.
Fun news from the week:
Our mission got approved to use uber. UBER! If that doesn't tell ya the work is progressing idk what will. For areas without cars or areas where parking is hard to find we can now just order an Uber. Plus it is a great opportunity to share the Gospel with the driver :)
Yesterday we stopped by an investigator of ours who is awesome! His name is D__ and he is 16. Something hilarious always goes down when we go over there. Yesterday's excitement was when he whipped out an albino mouse mid lesson. I'm sure you can imagine... "I saw a pilar of light exactly over my hea(squeak)OHMYGOODNESSWHATISTH
I think the mouse is going to be a meal sometime soon.
Anyway this week we also found another super cool investigator. His name is J__. He was actually found during a district blitz that we had last week and then we were able to have a lesson with him on friday. He grew up catholic but hasn't been actively practicing for a while. He is probably 25 and is excited to read the Book of Mormon and find out if it's true!
Have a great week!
