So 6 weeks until I'm halfway done. Its hard to believe I've only been out 4 weeks and never, not once, missed an email. I've left the city and moved to Monterey county AKA wine country. I wake up to the smell of manure in the mornings and stare at the endless fields of grapes and lettuce and broccoli. I was with my MTC companion for 4 weeks and then got a third companion and two more areas for two weeks. Our area is the size of other peoples zones. (zones usually have like 20 missionaries and 5-10 areas). Our poor car has been putting in the work. The best part of leaving the city is that we get to enjoy the people a lot more. One week in to this transfer, we had a man come limp running down the street towards us. I, having been in the city for 8 months, knew what this meant. This man had to be on drugs and was coming to chase us off because we were monsters in his lost mind. Something similar happened about once a week in San Jose. But I said, why not go talk to him anyways. So I unlocked the door to the car parked across the street and told Elder Johnson to run to it if he was in fact crazy. But he wasn't. I was shocked haha. Turns out Louis had suffered a terrible car accident and is slowly recovering motor functions to one of his legs and he was way cooler than we expected. Anyways, just a cool story. Other than that, I've just been grinding down here in Greenfield. Enjoy some pictures of Monterrey and Point Lobos, a park nearish to us.
