Glendale, California:  Week 49

This week has been a great week for hiking! This week we went on 3 hikes. One was the same one we did last Friday with the Armenian hiking group, one with a different Armenian group for ages 18-30, and one this morning with just us missionaries. And they've all been great! 

The 18-30 one was cool because it was just a little group of friends that we fit into well. It's a great opportunity to get out and speak some Armenian with people. I'm so glad the quarantine thing isn't around anymore and we're actually allowed to do that. 

Then the hike we did this morning was amazing! It was 7 of us missionaries and we woke up at 4 to head up to a place called strawberry peak. There were no strawberries, and it was super dark and freezing. Then the trail ended so we just started going straight up the mountain, and there were tons of thorns everywhere so our legs got pretty beat up. I know that probably sounds awful, but it was a blast! The wind was insane, easily the strongest wind I've ever been in. My comp and I made it to the top just after the sun started coming up so we got some sweet pictures. 

So that was definitely the highlight of the week. Nothing too interesting other than that. We are continuing to meet with the guy we met from the hike last week as well as some others. 

Hope everyone's doing well! Bye,

Elder Clayton
