  How's it going? I hope everyone has been well.  On Thursday we had a member call us and ask us to help him out with a "service." It turns out he's an Instagram influencer with about 13k followers. He posts videos about the church and a lot of them are controversial. He had us film 2 quick videos with him. One was a crazy edit of us. It was a parody of another video that recently went viral. And then the other was a video about what to do when the "Mormon missionaries" knock on the door. We didn't think too much of it, but now about 4 days after the videos were posted, we have about 10 million views between the two videos on Instagram and Tik Tok. Yeah I never really thought that would happen on my mission. We've had so many people message us and say they scrolled into our video. Apparently in the comment section we've gotten a couple death threats, but there's also people that think it's the coolest thing in the world. But the best part...

 Back at it again with another week! This past week felt super fast and it also felt really hot   But the work doesn't stop and the biking doesn't stop either  This week was crazy because we hit all of our goals except no one came to church. I woke up on Sunday morning without a doubt in my mind that we were going to have at least 2 friends at church. But then both of them slept in   But we're going to keep working with them and it'll be better next week. Then to add onto the disappointment we already felt that day, the Golden Knights lost the Stanley Cup Final   Please send some prayers down this way. Las Vegas is taking it pretty hard. We thought that when the Stanley Cup finished we would be able to talk to more people, but we were wrong. Still no one wants to talk to us because now the world cup is going on. Shoutout USA though. 4-1  We had to drop a lot of our friends this past week because they weren't progressing. It was pretty sad but...

  What a week it was! Biking in the heat, getting a little sick, and most people not wanting to hear the message. But it was still good  It's finally starting to get pretty hot. This coming week the high is on average 107 and we're still going to get out and bike it   Please pray for us that we don't die!   But the good news is that basically everyone gives us water bottles. And people tend to be nicer because they see us out biking in the heat. We've been struggling to find new people to teach, so if anyone has any ideas on how to find people in an area where most people have a decent amount of money, please let me know! We know there are people out there. We're just trying to figure out the best way to find them. We did find this awesome new friend named Neri this week. We had to send him off to California because that's where he lives, but we found him while he was here for a horse dancing competition. Basically, he's a horse dancing jockey   S...
