Chino, California: Week 75

This new transfer is off to a good start. We've been working with the members a lot more recently because President Hall is making a big push to help get the members more involved in missionary work. Also my trainee has been doing more of the leading as we go out and talk to people and do lessons and things, he's doing great. We've been super busy, it's definitely one of the most exhausting times of my mission!

On Friday and Saturday we got to help out with youth conference that the Chino stake was doing. It was actually super cool! On Friday evening we went to serve dinner, and they had this huge fancy setup, and it was Cuban style, with all sorts of cool decorations. They had meat, rice, beans, and fried plantains. Near the end of the meal they even had one of the members of the stake and his wife come out and teach some Cuban dances, and got the youth involved in it. They'd been dancing as a couple for years and it was really impressive. 

Then we went back on Saturday afternoon to serve lunch, and it was Chinese, with orange chicken, egg rolls, etc. So delicious. Again, the decorations and music made it seem really authentic. They even had live goldfish in bowls at each table. For breakfast they did France (crepes) and dinner was Italy (lasagna), but I wasn't there for those. Such an awesome activity!

Have a splendid week!
