Hello Family and Friends!
This has been a pretty slow week... But some good things happened!
Early this week we went on exchanges with the Elders In Fraizer park. The District leader came with me in my area and my companion went with his companion up in fraizer park. Let me tell you, Fraizer park is usually always 20 - 30 degrees cooler than bakersfield, the District leader was a little nearvous to go on exchanges because of the Bakersfield heat! BUt he did good. He got really sun burnt though! We saw a lot of less actives and stuff, ate dinner with the Tydryszewskis. Brother T is so funny, he has an electric lawnmower and has some pretty tall weeds and so he got his Samuri Sword (cuz he's a nerd) and went out in his back yard and started chopping down his tall grass with that. It was pretty funny, He let me have a few tries.
Also this week we had to talk to a Part Member families son. He is in the 4th grade and has been suspended 3 times already this year. So his parents wanted us to talk to him because he looks up to us. So we did. It went really well. His mom is a non member so we hope to make some progress with her.
We did some service at the durrants house this week. We took that kid, since he was suspended he had nothing better to do than to pull weeds with us ha ha. So we put him to work. While we were there we got some text messages from our investigator Lyndell the one with a baptismal date... she told us that she didnt want any more lessons. The whole quitting coffee thing was too hard for her and she is going through a whole bunch of health problems and its all adding up and she doesnt want to have to deal with it... But we are going to try and get her back on the path and keep going, she knows its true, she just doesnt think she can quit coffee, but she can. While we were at the Durrants we were going to Install a little water fountain in his front yard. So my companion picked it up and it is put together in parts and half of it fell off and the part that holds the whole thing together broke into a bunch of pieces. So we spent the next 2 hours super glueing that all back together ha ha! But we got it all figured out.
Saturday and Sunday were pretty easy days. We got to just hang out at a church pretty much all day and watch conference. Saturday night some members made us BOMB food. He made brisket which he had been smoking since 4:30 AM and he also made something called ABT's or Atomic Buffalo Terds. Its a hollowed out jallepeno which cream cheese, 4 mexican cheese, a lil smokey in the middle, wrapped up in bacon, then covered in brown sugar... WOW. They were so stinkin good! He also invited the Durrants to eat at his house and he had a good time! They started watching my youtube videos like the scooter one! So embarrassing.
Sunday night after conference we went and ate at the Durrants and we made Navajo Tacos! It was super good, after that i made them all Blintzes. They all seemed to really enjoy them!
Other than that that was pretty much it! it was a good week and i really enjoyed conference. I want to get tickets for the next one and actually GO. I think it would be SICK!
Anyways i love you all! Write me lots because i only have 19 more times that i will be able to write you! ha ha!
Love
Elder Samuel Crapo
