I did get the package by the way and it was pretty awesome I got it Friday actually and well opened it Friday haha the watch is super awesome I have 4 blue watches now all different shades of Blue that helps me match my ties so that is pretty legit it's also my first automatic watch which is pretty cool! Good pick Madison and Morgan did a sick job and picking out some legit ties for me good job Morgana I heart your face! Thank you for the birthday stuff you are way to good at spoiling me haha.
Well lets see I had another awesome week with Elder Hansen. We are still getting along really really well so hopefully that continues. For example, today in personal study we were screwing around and I fell back in the chair I was sitting in and broke his desk - pretty legit. Last Tuesday though I had leadership training all day until dinner then the rest of the evening was pretty normal. Wednesday we had some lessons with a less active member and a recent convert that both went pretty well. The recent convert is pretty awesome - she was planning on killing herself with this giant spear she made but then before she did the missionaries found her and knocked her door and helped through everything. Now she is awesome and healthy and not wanting to die - cool story. We also made a trip to the mission office that day to take some other Elders down for an interview with the Mission President and later in the evening we went by some former investigators. Thursday we had District meeting where I gave a training on church attendance and how to help people be comfortable coming to church and how to conduct church tours. It went pretty well so that was good. Later we had our correlation meeting with the ward missionaries, then we went to a lesson with an investigator named Pascual who is an interesting fellow with a crazy past. He is super into jewels and has thousands of dollars in them and just throws them around like they are nothing. Its crazy. I held a giant handful of diamonds and other gems - it was nuts. But he is an odd one that isn't really progressing as an investigator - he definitely needs help so we keep going by and hope that over time we can help him and that he will join the church. Friday it rained super hard. Actually all weekend it rained really hard - I don't like the rain. It's lame but somehow my companion and Elder Peterson who was with us for the day, and is also an awesome missionary, talked me into knocking in the rain. It was wet! Very wet. It rained like crazy here. The streets were flooded and people in California don't know how to drive in the rain so it was exciting. Later in the evening though we had a lesson in the evening with Hewie and a member named Brother Moultin that went super well so we're hoping he keeps progressing. Saturday, despite the rain, we had a really good day. We found a new family of investigators to teach and taught them a short lesson, and went by a bunch of less actives and had some really good lessons with them. That was awesome to have a great day despite the rain. Sunday was really good - both Hewie and his daughter Adriana, who is adorable, came. She is 4. It was also fast Sunday so we had a great testimony meeting which is always good. Also it was my birthday so that made it fun. Nothing too exciting happened. We did have dinner with a member but I didn't mention it was my birthday. If I hadn't gotten gifts from home actually I would have not noticed it as being any different then any other day of the year but it was actually kind of cool in a sense so I didn't mind. That was my stellar awesome week though!
As usual I love the heck out of all of you stay safe have a fun party Sunday tell everyone I said Hello Ryan have a safe trip stay away from the alcohol for me and Kathy don't kill my sisters please while he's gone!
Love Elder Erdsen (a combination of Jensen and Erdmann)
