Aug. 3, 2015 Week one here!

This first week was a ton of fun. Yeah I'm serving in a YSA ward in the Vista Stake and that's way nice!! Being able to relate to the people I'm around all the time. And we've had tons of activities so that's also way fun. My comp. Elder Wight is doing a really good job. I did almost get hit by a car the first night hahaha. Like literally 3 inches from getting clipped by a SUV. That was an adrenaline rush! But everything is going great. The only thing that sucks is running in the morning. Hahaha but it does wake me up and get my blood pumping. And we are in a car the whole time because we cover a whole stake. So that stinks too because "I want to ride my bicycle! I want to ride my bike!"

 The work is hard here because everyone knows who we are and nobody wants anything to do with us most of the time. But we always seem to find the "elect" as President Kendrick says. And they always are interested. A lot of our appointments fall through which is also a downer. So we have only taught like 5 lessons. And one was a set up for a Bible bash. FUN!! Haha he is a Catholic bible class teacher and he kept bringing up all these scriptures from the bible and we always had a comeback and he ended up with nothing to say and had us leave. But we still tried our hardest to try not to bash back. We do have some solid potential investigators though which is way nice.

 Every Sunday we go to Camp Pendelton and teach all of the military recruits there. And that was a way cool experience. Hearing of all of their stories is way cool. They're brutal though. But all of the guys up there are way cool. Send as much food as you want!!! Food is life.

 Anyways I have to go now but everything is awesome. I'll have more "inspirational" stories next week most likely hahaha. And I'm going to try to send some pics.

 Love always,
 Elder Miles
