Most houses that we decide to knock
on have aloe vera plants outside.
It is an indicator. They love
plants... I love them.
One time we saw a lady whack off a
leaf/stem/arm of this plant and drink its juices. So I STARTED A NEW TRADITION!
Along with wearing the Stockton sombrero that has been passed and worn by the
generations,
every time you leave Stockton you
drink some aloe vera! We will probably wait because it is still small,
but still! I am excited.
DAD! Stockton isn't really
scary! Weeelll at least where I am. It is almost exactly like North
Sacramento but I LOVE IT. We live right next to a delta (probs where they dump
the bodies) and it is really cool because there are lots of boats and
machinery. It is also like old town California. All the houses are
different too. I want to start a home pinterest board, but I don't know
if it would be too weird to be taking pictures of peoples houses. Probably illegal or something! Also there is a college! The Pacific.
I remember when I was on my going to college somewhere near the ocean kick so I
can surf, I looked at this university! And now I drive past it
everyday! It is fun. I love California though! I got to go to
Lodi this week for exchanges! It was really cool because it is the place
where grapes are grown. So I saw field after field of grapes vine plant
things. It was awesome! It was also really cool because there were
trains driving through the town all night! I loved it. We are going
to go visit their pulga when we are next in Sacramento together because I hear
it is AMAZING!
Remember that guy who was marking in his Book of Mormon? Ya we passed him
off to the young single adult ward so he can grow in that environment. We
have now sworn to not teach anyone who speaks English again because it is
painful passing off people!! We are teaching a man named Jxxe
Sxxxxxz. He speaks SO FAST and SO MUMBLED that after each lesson Hermana
Shawcroft and I just look at each other. It will be a miracle/inside joke
forever if this guy gets baptized because we don't understand him at all.
But I love our lessons because we always walk over to the park and talk.
I always feel happy.
We are teaching an amazing family of parents and 2
young boys, a toddler girl, and she is expecting another baby. They were
planning on coming to church but the Saturday before they didn't answer
anything from us and didn't show up to church so we figured she was having her
baby. It was funny because every time someone didn't answer us or a lesson
fell through we figured that they were having a baby. Ya it was
funny. But she really wasn't having her baby so.... not too funny
:( But good times.
Lots of love, wish mom a quick
improvement of health, and give everyone a hug for me!
Love Hermana Sheffer!
