A Trip to Madera and Our Flooded Parking Lot

Feb 5: Today was awesome! We were able to have some awesome lessons with different people and 3 of them said they wanted to get baptized! Sweet!

 Feb 6: Today we got an oil change. We had some meetings as well. Pretty normal day. 

Feb 7: Today was another really good day. Pretty normal though. Not too much happened except I totally saw a drug deal go down. We were on the top floor of an apartment complex. A door below us has a lot of people walking up to it and walking away. Look down. There is a hole in their door grate. Saw money go in and then a few seconds later a dime bag come out! Sweet! Next time we might drop a picture of Jesus off on the door if the druggies aren't home hahaha. 

Feb 8: Had another good day. Again, not too much happened. 

Feb 9: Today we went to Madera! It is a city about 20 miles north of Fresno. We had some addresses of Hmong people who supposedly lived there. Hmong speaking missionaries hadn't gone up there in at least a year though so we went to go check it out. Met some cool Hmong people. Mostly saw Mexicans and got to practice my Spanish that I learned back in high school. It was super fun though. 

Feb 10: Another normal day. Found some cool people to teach. A member and his wife had a barbecue and invited us over. Ate duck for the first time. It was pretty good! 

Feb 11: Church was really good today. We had our Ward Conference so that was fun! Also, when we got back to our apartment tonight the entire parking lot was flooded. Looked over and there was a geyser shooting water 30ft in the air. Turns out someone knocked over a fire hydrant then left hahaha. It was pretty insane!  

Love y'all have a great week!
