2,000$ fines don't phase California. Inbox

 July 5, 2021

I am sure you have all noticed by now, it appears that my emails are progressively getting worse and worse and this is true. Today is a new day and a new week so buckle up because you have an exciting email ahead of you. (but no promises on how next weeks will be ) 

This week the Los Angeles Mission had some pretty massive changes. First and foremost we got a new mission president! President Egbert, he is a legend. We had our first Zone conference and let's just say, he killed it with the first impressions. We got to learn about his family, his interests and hear his testimony of the Gospel. I'm stoked to see what he does with the mission and the progress it makes. 

Now that I'm serving in a YSA (young single adult) branch we do a lot of driving. Our area is pretty big and LA traffic around downtown is insane, the bad drivers, the Crackheads, the busses, the scooter riders and the traffic. Gosh dang, you wouldn't believe me if I told you how wackie this place is but people love this place, hahaha.

Where I'm at in California there was a 2000$ fine if you shot off fireworks... it was just a threat though, every block was shooting off aerials hahaha the whole city had a haze from all the fireworks going off, pretty cool. 

- friends are progressing well

- got to have a visitors center tour at the temple with our friend

- found a friend that absolutely loves the Book of Mormon

- we were blessed with some super solid street contacting

- Crackheads are still vibin

- spent wayyy too many hours driving this week in LA traffic

- knocking doors is very spooky.. Definitely been praying a lot haha

- I am definitely a minority in my area and definitely wishing I payed attention in Spanish class, hahaha.

Ether 2:12

"Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written"

Hope y'all have a good week!
