Hotter than juarez!

My goodness!!! What a week it has been! The phrase "days feel like weeks, and weeks feel like days" is super accurate! This week has been amazing though! We've been busy busy busy, lots of service, contacting, and the first lesson!!! 

We're still doing the same old service, working at a distribution center with nonmembers mostly. We are able to do service with members now, which will be really nice for getting more contacts. We've been doing a lot of calls with members as well, and as of a couple days ago we can meet with them outside their homes which is MILES better than online, at least for me! I have the worst luck with online contacting, so Christmas definitely came early! And we had da FIRST lesson! It was with a really cool investigator who already has a Christian background, and it went well! The spirit was real and she definitly felt it! Hoping to get a second one set up and make some good progress. 

We did find some more positives and negatives that come with our apartment. The positive is that we have a pet squirrel(who've I've named Todd) who will sit on a branch right outside our window as we listen to talks, he never has any input, but I'm sure he's learning alot. The negative is we have discovered a pretty bad hornet problem. Hornets litter the pathway/alley up to our apartment, and in the shed right next to it, we've found a hornets nest inside as big as 1-2 regulation basketballs soooooooo, video of the attack and eventual defeat with flyswatters coming next week! 

Our fun and quirky local hornets nest

Other than that, things are pretty normal, there are a couple wildfires really close to town. so smoke is everywhere, its 100°, the sun is red always, every train horn is getting weirdly, indescribably creepier every night, so fun times! It basically feels like the end of times! We had to walk to a dinner appointment and got turned around a half a mile in by a very upset Saint Bernard (apparently there's only room for 1 saint in this town). And Todd continues to hold the fort down! 

That's it from the sandy beaches of Laurel, feel free to leave hornet removal tips in the comments down below, and hope y'all have a great week!
