Hello Everyone,

YOSO, You Only Serve Once, serve your hardest. So, I'm now out here in California. It was like 100 degrees when we landed, it has cooled off now though. My first area is Rancho Vista. I'm right in the middle of the desert. Also, I got whitewashed my first area. My trainer Elder Alldredge and I are both new to the area, and the area book records were not the best so we are still trying to figure out what’s going on. We have met most of the progressing investigators that the last elders were working on, we think. We taught two girls on Friday.  Ilene is 12 and her sister Ronny is 11.  They accepted to be baptized, but they would have to talk to their mom first. We were told they already got permission but we were pretty sure they haven’t, so we are meeting their mom tonight. Hopefully their mom will join in on the lessons.

Met most of the ward members at church yesterday and they were pretty nice. The stake president is in our ward and we have dinner with them tonight.

The place I'm staying in is pretty awesome. It is pretty much a 1 floor house. It's not huge or anything but it is definitely bigger than an apartment. We have our own washer and dryer so it’s pretty awesome. Did I mention that this is a bike area? Yeah, that's not fun so I'm grateful for the enabling power of the atonement. I still miss cars though. Yeah, so that’s pretty much it.

Love,

Elder Larman
