selfie and i got caught in the back ground

this week has been awesome! i am in the branch centinela and it is right by the ocean so it is sweet! i love this sector. the part that sucks is that it is a bunch of hills! haha walking all day is kinda fun at times. i did get my new comp and his name is elder copling and he is from herriman utah and he is way chill. we will have a good time together! he has about 17 months in his mission! from what i have seen i love this sector. we do run into so many drunk people and people that are on some crazy drugs! haha its funny!

2 nights ago my comp was contacting a guy and he was crazy high or something and this guy started hugging my comp and my comp went with it because it was pretty funny and he kissed my comp on the cheek and we told him we had to go because our mom was waiting for us and he was like yeah whatever! haha it was so funny. we have stuff happening like that a lot so it has gotten to be kinda normal now. i can tell this transfer will be sweet!

this week we had 2 investigators that went to the church with a date for baptism. we found carlos this past week and he is a young man about 22 years old and he is going to be baptized the 18th in april and we have a old lady that is going to be baptized 11th in april so its pretty cool! you see the progress here so its pretty cool.

i am happy to be here and i know this is where i need to be. i just got to do what mom tells me a lot which is keep being strong. 

i hope you guys have a flippen awesome week and a happy b day shout out to chelsea and love you guys.
