Back At It!

This week has been long; it's been eight days since the last P-day. But anyway, let's get to it so I don't make y'all read a fluffy email.

I had to say goodbye to Elder Lovejoy... truly heartbreaking. He's an amazing elder, and I'll definitely keep in contact with him throughout the mission. I'm going to miss working with him.

Later, I went to Fresno with Elder Tingey while we waited on our new trainees! Elder Tingey is a literal angel and a stud. He's so easy to work with and keeps the spirit along the way. We did lots of finding at Woodward Park and got bashed a few times, but that's expected. One guy kept joking with us about the Book of Mormon musical, which was hilarious. But we had lots of success, and most people were really nice!

Finally, I got my trainee, Elder Bunker! He's a stud and is trying his best to improve every day! He is very sensitive to the spirit and has a strong testimony of the gospel. He's from Cedar Falls, Iowa. I think I've never met someone from Iowa before. He likes writing and is working on making a book.

We had breakfast at a lady's house, and her dog ate my pancakes! So no pancakes for me. Her dog's name is actually Ada.

We had lots of great lessons this week and met some wonderful people. We also got harassed by the occasional chihuahuas. I hate chihuahuas. I just bend over and act like I'm picking something up to throw at them, and they run off. Elder Bunker is really scared of dogs—haha.

Also, my sister Josie "Smelly Berry" had her birthday Friday, so make sure you wish her a happy birthday! She's the best! She's really a sweet girl if you can get past the occasional attitude or her nap time. She's always fun to hang out with and loves gifts!

Every day, we use Meta AI to make AI-generated photos and then put our daily contact goals on them. It's hilarious to see what it can generate.

Hope y'all had a good week! Love y'all!

—Elder Berry

Hey Is For Horses

It's ya boy Chips Ahoy, and I wish y'all a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone's been doing well and you're finding a way this year to make Christmas centered on Jesus Christ. This week has been very good! We've had lots of service opportunities! We got to help a member paint his house as well as set up some stuff in a lash studio. This week we had a zone conference completely centered on Jesus Christ. It was really nice getting to hear people's testimonies and their favorite stories of Jesus Christ. I liked this zone conference, and personally, I'm not the biggest fan of zone conferences. I feel like it's a long time to sit. Speaking of a long time to sit, apparently, I've never realized how much I fidget when I sit, and let's just say my companion is not a big fan of that during personal study. We watched this video called "The Christ Child," which is a really good depiction of the nativity and birth of Jesus Christ. I really felt the Sp...

Free V- Bucks???

Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I apologize for not sending an email last week, but here I am. These past few weeks have just been different than the rest of my mission (in a good way). I've been out for about 9 months now! I'm halfway done with a sister mission! Jkjk This Christmas season has been quite remarkable, and I can't remember a time in my life so focused on Jesus Christ, especially on His humble birth. I feel the Spirit every time I read and ponder on His beloved coming into this world. On Christmas, we actually didn't have any plans besides some that morning, so we got with other elders and went caroling for about 4 hours and saw tons and tons of members and friends. Everyone answered the door except one. It's funny because we sang the same song, "Silent Night," each time. We got Burger King too, and it was lit. We got transfer news, and I'm staying in Exeter, CA. Elder Quigley is leaving, and I'll be with Elder Kes...

That's Why He's The GOAT

Anywho, sorry if this email isn't my best work. This week was good down here in Exeter! This week was fun because we talked to lots of people! However, it's so hard for some reason to find people to teach. People will talk to us and stuff but aren't interested in anything to do with the gospel. But we've had lots of success with members and less actives. We went up to Three Rivers in the mountains to clip some goat hooves for a lady we've been teaching, and it was fun! I would grab and wrangle the goat between my legs while the lady, Ashni, clipped the hooves. It was fun until the goat got bored, looked up at you with a blank stare, and tried munching on your shirt. Later, we helped with the chickens, and I got pooped on, of course. I remember when I was younger in school, we went on a field trip to the OKC zoo and had a "zoo snooze." We stayed overnight, and it was hype! Anyways, I remember going into the bird enclosure and getting pooped on by some parro...
