Weekend mayhem and San Diego



After waking up on a beach in Carlsbad CA, (Right outside of San Diego) We went to a donut shop. Where we ordered a dozen donuts from a nice asian man that made a comment after every donut we chose. Things like, "Apple Fwitter, wow you know your donuts."  and "ok, yeah dat's a good choice." are just a little taste of some of the things He would say to us. I think We were all a little wiped out saturday morning. This probably caused from our adventures aroudn the city of SD the night before. The Whole adventure started Around 5 pm on friday (after I had talked to mormons and ate dinner), when we piled (quite literally) into Chris' ford focus for an adventure to be remember. Well, I am pretty sure we will remember this. 
          Entering San Diego, we got a little lost in some of the neighbor-hoods, if you know what I mean. Well, once we found a place to park, Josh Started climbing and kicking off walls, Jesse, swung around a pole very showing his athleticism. Devan and I grabbed our camera's and began to walk about taking Pictures. Chris was just happy to be in a city where he could look good. 
       After walking around a bit, snapping pictures, window shopping, and trying ever free sample seen (Jesse) we were able to talk to some people about the gospel, it was great.  We talked to a lady that asked for some money, mainly we were able to pray with her and share the gospel in that manner. After walking a bit more, we heard some exciting music across the street. Raising our heads, we saw a parade of about 20 hare krishna dancing and chanting down and around the sidewalks. Obviously, Jesse ran across and started dancing with them. Throwing his hands about in the air. Josh  grabbed the opportunity at hand and began asking questions to the one of the ones passing our bulletins. This resulted in a good lengthed discussion of truth and more importantly the way of truth. After conversing we noticed a Girhadelee chocalate store and decided they would have nice, clean restrooms. It had a dining room which we sat in for a while as some of the brethren stood in line at the restroom. Well, as I walked out of the restroom. I saw something that brought certain joy to my face, a banana split!  I guess one of the waiter gave it to our group  for free when I was gone. He came over once more, brought me a spoon and said "I figured your group was the most deserving." we praised God for that. 
         We eventually found a beach, after washing the car with window wipers that are found at gas stations. Josh slept in the car and that's where we meet back up with the second picture. The first picture displays me in La Jolla (another district/sub-city ) on a cove. We all had great quiet times overlooking the crashing waves, declaring the Lords strength. It was really fantastic. We finally visited the sight where many high-school students got baptized this last elevate (summer camp) trip. Long story condensed, we slept in grass next to a beach, ate more donuts (left over), met Devan's (ate lunch), talked politics and came back to campus. Ate worked out, hot spring-ed it up, ping-pong, and much more. Well thank you for listening to my life. God Bless.
