The MTC lied. (he's kidding)

Anyway, this isn't actually an iPad mission. It was a bit of a shock, and it's hard suddenly not having the resources that were available before. Instead we have lots and lots of cars. It seems like nearly everyone has a car. I guess it's probably a gain weight mission.

We're in Palmdale, in the very south of the mission, in the best ward ever. It seriously is a good ward with good people. Palmdale is a really interesting town because it was planned very specifically and is very new. The roads are named really well as long as you're on the main ones, but turn into nonsense once you actually go off of them intowhere the houses are. There are so many little roads named all kinds of things like Cantlewood or Jupiter or Vittorio. But they don't follow any naming scheme! It'd be so hard to get around without a GPS, so I'm glad we have one.

We haven't had a whole lot of success, but that's okay. It's just the first week. We've transferred into an area where there were sisters before, so we spent some time cleaning and have been meeting people and trying to sort out the sisters' plans that they left behind. We did meet a super cool old lady from a referral though! She's in her 90s and has tons of medical stuff going on, but she loves the pamphlets and wants to get baptized! She would have come to church on Sunday, but her doctor said to wait. I know that she's still around so she can receive the Gospel.

It is really hot here. It's not worth it to walk around during the day or anything so we just drive around to houses where potential investigators and part member families are. Most of the good work we'll do is going to be in the evening, once it's cooler and people are home.

God be with you!
