Well it was a good first week of the transfer. Elder Figgins and I get along pretty well. He is 18 and still acts like he's right out of high school though haha. I wonder if I was like that at one point. Probably not haha. Just kidding I probably was. But he is a good guy, and realizes he still has a lot to learn.
This week we had a few St. Patrick's day parties. The best one was probably with the ysa where there were 5 non members there. 4 of which are willing to sit down and learn a little about the church. I don't remember all of their names right now. But I have them written in my planner. We are going to try to get in contact with them this week.
We still haven't been able to meet with Erika. But we still aren't giving up. We talked to her on the phone and she still seems hopeful. It's just hard when her dad isn't giving in at all.
No contact with Melissa this week.
I don't remember if I told you this, but every week on Thursday we go do service for a woman named Sister Demkey. She has a non profit horse ranch for kids with disabilities to ride her horses. But she is getting old, so we go up every week and scoop horse poop for her and fix anything else that is needed. She lives about 30 minutes into some hills west of Murrieta in the Murrieta Hills ward. We decided that we would do some exploring around her property while we were taking a break and I stepped right on a bee's nest. And when I realized it I was like, "Oh freak!" So I took off (which is probably the wrong thing to do) sprinting away, and didn't even get stung. There were thousands of bees coming out when I stepped on it. Pretty awesome! Then we found a 3 1/2 foot snake. Cool stuff. And of course I had to take a cool picture with it.
I gotta get going. Hope you all have a good week!
Elder Miles
