Aug. 31, 2015 I DO LOVE THIS PLACE....

This week flew by again. I am almost done with my first transfer, and that to me is crazy!

The weirdest things go on here in Vista. This week our Zone leaders found this huge bag of weed just sitting on the side of the road. We are so protected in Utah, I have already seen things that I would never imagine haha. (nothing bad) but just weird. But I do love this place. It already feels like home, and normal to wake up every day here. I think I am pretty much adjusted to the daily schedule so everything is normal. I still am getting used to the running every day part though. I dread it every night. Not fun.

The people here do get pretty hyped about football. There are NFL fans and college fans. Mostly college fans though because they know that the NFL is over rated haha. But you see the spirit for the teams here for sure. But everybody gets along no matter what team you like. Unlike those U of U fans back home. So I like that a lot. Surprisingly there are a lot of BYU fans here too! So that is really cool. You see a lot of flags on cars or stickers, people wearing shirts, etc. I like that.

We were supposed to have a baptism this upcoming Saturday but Gilberto didn't show up to church again and refuses to let us get a member to give him a ride. So that is very frustrating. More so disappointing. So we have to push that back another week .. again. Lili is doing great though. She is so close to getting completely off smoking. And we moved her date a day closer so she will be getting baptized on the 18th. And then there is a girl named Ashley that we picked up last Sunday that is going to get baptized as well. We just haven't been able to set a firm date yet. But that should be here in the next 2 or three weeks. The missionary work is on fire right now! Can't wait for all of these baptisms to follow through!

 Well anyways I have to go now. So I will talk to you all next week!

Love always,
Elder Miles
