Day: another brisk autumn day (it's 103)
Pushup Count: 307
Buenos días mi gente! Today starts my second full week in Palmdale and things are going great. We had a super busy week with lots of craziness, so I'm just gonna jump right into it:
- On pday we played volleyball and had a blast
- We did service at Saves and they gave us a bunch of food 
- We had zone conference in Santa Clarita so we got to drive down there with Elder Kemp and Elder Kerner. We told stories and laughed a lot, and Elder Kerner gave me sour gummy worms... My kryptonite 
- Two days later we had to drive back to Santa Clarita to do a baptismal interview. It went super well, the guy Marcos is super cool and super ready. Afterwards we got free food a yum yums and I saw my fried Elder Bolivar outside 
- We saw peacocks just chillin in a neighborhood 
- We have this super sweet old lady in our ward that believes really strongly in traditional medicine with like plants and stuff, which is super cool. She gave Elder Archibald some type of leaf to boil into a tea and she kept insisting that it would cure him. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to grasp the fact the he has type 1 diabetes and you can't exactly cure that 
but we decided to make the leaf tea anyways cause who knows, maybe you she was right 
. We boiled the leaves and invited the other Elders over to try it. It ended up being super gross and made all three of them sick... I was fine for some reason tho and in case you were wondering, Elder Archi does still have diabetes

I was fine for some reason tho and in case you were wondering, Elder Archi does still have diabetes- We did service at salvation army with a couple Elders from Lancaster and we had a blast making boxes of ridiculous amounts of cookies and pies. And a little bit of surfing on the cardboard cart... 
- I ate like 6 donuts in the last week 
- We had a lesson with our friend Eddie and we were able to teach a whole two points he's kinda lonely so he talks a lot... But his dog is adorable!
he's kinda lonely so he talks a lot... But his dog is adorable!- We got Starbucks... Super overrated btw who's knows maybe it's better if you don't take out the coffee
who's knows maybe it's better if you don't take out the coffee- One of our members bought us pizza for dinner so we went and picked that up and then ate way too much
- We told each other the plots of our favorite movies in Spanish for language practice
- We put a cockroach in the freezer to see if it would wake up the next morning like captain america... It did not
- We found two new friends who are super cool. We had the lesson outside in the sketchier part of our area and we talked about how amazing prayer is! They told us that they want to read the Book of Mormon, pray, and come to church. Super awesome because we were about to go all week without finding and we talked to them at 8 on Sunday night :)
That's all for today. Love you all!
Spiritual Thought:
Just a quick quote from Elder Uchtdorf:
"My dear friends and brethren, no matter how many times you have slipped or fallen, rise up! Your destiny is a glorious one! Stand tall and walk in the light of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! You are stronger than you realize. You are more capable than you can imagine. You can do it now!"
Mucho amor,
Élder Page
