- exchanges with E Iurato! visited some peeps. met this guy in the middle of the road, that was dope. he was like "whatchu got?" and totally accepted a Book of Mormon n stuff. it was pretty sick. visited this other guy! likes weed. and the BoM! and church tours. great times! whatta homie. too much love for e iurato. idek bro. i love him so much
- went to the gas station after exchanges. met Taylor. he made us get drinks and snacks so he could pay for us. pulled 3 dollars out of his pockets, a billion coins, and a bunch of cigarette butts. didn't have enough, and then tried to give us a check for $200. sheesh bro holy crap. he's just willing to give us everything he owned. what more like Christ can someone be? he definitely didn't have any teeth, was homeless, and liked drugs. but such an amazing of a person. we tore up the check.

- so, we get to this dope sushi place for my birthday. this guy walks out and is NOT having it. he was nice to us, but was ticked at whoever was inside. i didn't care, i just wanted sushi. the server lady was hilarious. super brash, but also super sweet! she was also mad at that guy, didn't know what his problem was. idk bro i just wanted sushi. i gave her some words of comfort, said everyone has their own choices. then, i got sushi. she could definitely come off as mean but she was actually dope. poked my stomach too. love that lady she's cool. and i love sushi.
Teaching Updates
- sand! so great when in person. epitome of our MP wifes graph for how often we should visit people. went very well, answered her questions, got her really thinking about how this is the true restored church of Jesus Christ. good times!
- miner! also went well:) he joked a lot about giving me weed brownies. love the guy. had some concerns with the baptismal interview questions, but he's so open and willing. want him to get an answer soooo bad. hmnrg. he on date for july 9th now.
- potential new guy, he down to learn. heck yeah. uhhh we'll call him taco. NOT racist, he just wanted to buy us tacos at this good taco shop 
questions our beliefs, but is totally down to talk and learn!
- toptight is now bro shed. i didn't love the name and we started calling him by brother then his last name so that's cool! his answers are all still kinda just "sure" type stuff. he's thinking and praying about baptism tho so hopefully he feels of the importance of all of this!
- visited this new lady and her bf n stuff. great times! she doesn't exactly believe in Christ, just a higher power. so willing to learn tho, and said she kept feeling the warm fuzzies about us. let's heccin go. kept saying "i'm super interested!" and wanted to come to church too. best case
