This week has been totally awesome! I'm in Oxnard right now with Elder Shields. He is such a bro. He is basically a copy of me. He looks like me, is the same size as me, has the same interests as me, and is 9 days younger than me. We get along awesome! We have met and taught a lot of really cool people too.
Wednesday: People gave us a ton of random free stuff today. This one guy came running out of his house to us holding a giant can of fruit. This other lady gave us a bunch of avocados, and some kids sold us some candy bars. There is a guy here named J. He wants to get baptized but is on parole. He has changed a lot and has really taken hold of the atonement. He is looking at 2016 to be baptized but may be able to get off parole in January if his trial goes well. Pray for him! He is so amazing and deserves all the blessings of heaven.
Thursday: We met this sweet family today. They are really cool and we taught them the whole restoration lesson. I can see them getting baptized no problem. We have a return appointment with them tomorrow. We have a ton of neighbor kids in our complex. They basically love us. They are pretty cool. They try to get us to say dirty things in Spanish but we just say silly stuff instead.
Friday: One of the neighbor kids had a birthday and they gave us some cake. It was really good. We gave her a dollar for her birthday. We walked through an alley and I saw my first bullet hole in a wall. I've seen like 30 since then. We are in the ghetto part of the mission. We see some crazy stuff. It is the coolest thing ever.
Saturday: There was a big boxing match today so all the people had it on their TVs as pay per view. It was $70 to watch. People just blew through so much money. It was a really big deal. We had a sweet lesson with a neighbor kids named Jesus today. He and his sister came to church with us on Sunday. Jesus is really funny. He reminds me of Gustavo.
Sunday: We saw a zombie today. This kid was walking down the street with a crazy limp and it looked like he was missing an arm. When he saw us looking at him he started running at us and yelling crazy stuff. It was super scary. It was like a scene straight out of a zombie movie. There were some girls that drove by us in their car the other day. A lot of people think it is funny to yell sacrilegious phrases at us. These girls did it, but then the light turned red. It was really funny. We walked right past them and gave them a big smile and a wave. They were super embarrassed.
Being a missionary is super cool. Stay classy everybody.
Love Elder Jamison
