Season 5, Episode 6 2-29-16

Dear family and friends,

Found out transfers, I am going to be in the Rocky Butte Ward. That is literally one Ward away from where I am at now. I get to move just one over. I am kinda sad. I love this Ward. But, I am really excited to go. It is basically the same kinda people. It is in the same building as the Alameda Ward.

We had a bomb week.

Monday-

We started the week off good. We had a cool p-day. Then we taught a bunch of lessons. We had lessons at 6,7, and 8. We taught this recent convert family from Syria. They feed us probably the nastiest thing ever. It was this spicy stuff wrapped in a leaf. I didn’t want to be rude, so I just kinda bit, swallowed it. Then I tried to finish the ones on my plate. After I ate a few this way, he said,  “Make sure you chew the leaves, or you will get indigestion.” I wish he told me earlier, because I got indigestion. Haha that's what I get for choking down this nasty food!

Tuesday-

We had a sweet lesson with this man named Stanley. He was such a bro. He was this old guy who, was a way cool guy. We were hoping to teach him more. We had a great lesson. 

We gutted Wednesday-

We had a good day of finding. It was a long day not too much success. But I was a good one.

Thursday-

We were on exchanges with the Spanish Elders. It was a good one. I did what I could to help out as best I could.. We taught some cool people. We found a sweet miracle.

Friday-

We were planning for week and we were able to put a guy on date. What a relief we worked so hard for it. We got one right at the end. It was an awesome experience.

Saturday-

We taught a bunch of cool lessons. It has been a blast to serve here. We taught a bunch of good people.

Sunday-

We had a dinner with the Spanish elders. I ate like 14 tacos. It was so good.

Love, 

Elder Astle
