Ice cream🍦 ice cream 🍦we all scream for ICE CREAM🍦
The Mercier Family lives in one of Elder Miles' first areas. They are amazing & take such good care of the missionaries Sister Mercier has become the ICE CREAM lady for these elders!! Whenever she's close by she makes sure to treat our boy & his companion.
We are so grateful for the wonderful families in the California Carlsbad Mission!!
May 30, 2017 Yay!!! A letter!!....finally:) the threat for no more ice cream worked apparently...hee hee
Hello all!
I apologize for not writing the last two weeks! Last week I literally forgot. And I need to this week because Sister Mercier said she wouldn't get me ice cream anymore if I didn't write...
Not a ton has changed since last time though. We haven't been able to meet with J Lo for about 3 weeks now. So we aren't exactly sure what is going on there. The family that is fellowshipping her has been out of town so we haven't been able to talk to them. I hope things are going ok for her.
We have made contact with a really promising Part-Member family though! Their last name is Best. And the husband is a non member. He was really open to us. We mainly just talked about random stuff. Not really about the gospel. So when we visit them this week we will focus more on that. But I do think that he is super solid.
Elder Lundquist and I are doing great. He makes me trunky talking about me going home and stuff haha. So we are working on that haha.
Well today we are busy so I am going to have to get going now. Hope you all have a good week!

Caves, Fish🐟 & Squirrels...
This was a cave that the elders went down last week. We probably made it 40 ft down before it got too tight to squeeze through rocks.
Me and elder Yeck fishin for some bass. They were hitting hard!! The females had started making nests and were hitting anything that came near them....
Funny story about fishing. So there were all of the these ground squirrels, they were everywhere. And I assume that it was the males doing this, but they would go and attack the younger squirrels & one of them ended up breaking both back legs of one of them. We watched this happen & started walking toward the injured squirrel to kill it to put it out of suffering. And when we got about 5 feet away a HUGE hawk swooped in and grabbed the squirrel and flew off hahahahaha. It literally went maybe a foot over my head. Scared the crap out of me! I wish we got it on camera. It then flew off and ate the squirrel...
May 8, 2017 See ya on Sunday!!😄😍💞
Fam!
Sorry I wasn't able to write a letter last week. Things got busy and I didn't get the time. I will be at my bishops on Sunday to skype. I will have Sister Jacox call mom to set everything up.
The last two weeks have flown by way fast. We've basically just been trying to figure the area out and meet the members. The missionaries that have served here over the last year haven't been very impressive. Our ward mission leader had requested that the area be white washed with two new missionaries to get the work started up again. So when he found out we came in he was pretty excited.
We currently have one investigator named Jennifer Lopez. Haha yeah I know. She's 17 and is a friend of one of the daughters of the Mitchell family in our ward. She has had some lessons with the missionaries before. Her parents are a traditional mexican catholic family. And they haven't been very supportive of her getting baptized until she's 18. Sound familiar??? She turns 18 in August but graduates high school this month & will be attending the U of U in the fall. She loves the mormon culture. And wants to be baptized. She just needs to be more open with her parents about it. Sister Mitchell is going to talk to her mom about everything because they are good friends and have talked about it before. Her birthday is about 2 weeks before she would head to school, and we feel like it would be good to be baptized a few months earlier to get into the habits that you need to have as an active member of the church. We have taught the Restoration and another lesson on baptism. Comparing the Book of Mormon to the Bible and their doctrine concerning it. She's super elect and prepared. It will happen, just a matter of time.
We have met some cool members though. It's a gold mine that hasn't been cracked in about a year. Hopefully some good stuff happens!
I gotta get running now. See ya on Sunday!!
Love y'all

Today we went ice skating as a zone! Super fun and nobody split their eyebrow open this time. So I would say that it was a success.
