B is a revolutionary and secedes from the zone

howdy. mom, to answer your question, no, elder halls isnt my companion. he hasnt been for 3 months now, and im not in the same area, i left 3 months ago. gina, this is my first little mexico. all the other ones were rich white peepuhls, except MLK, which was little africa. african shops lined the streets and there were only 2 white people there. here in HP is little mexico. im leaving in a week to south central.

a week-ish ago, elder tuttle and i were looking for an apartment for new missionaries so we went to talk to the manager of one. we knocked on the ghetto door, the normal one already open. we could see the people inside, could hear the TV, voices, everything. they saw us and all got up and left because they saw missionaries. elder tuttle still isnt quite used to how people respond to missionaries knocking on their door, he thinks theyre just not home, so i told him to wait and see if she would answer. we knocked and knocked and called in and everything, and no one answered us for 5 minutes. then i said, " were looking for the manager for the apartment for rent" and without hesitation the lady opened the door and came out.

i had an entire large pizza for dinner one night. and used most of a bottle of hot sauce on it. delicious.

a couple weeks ago i drew up a rough draft for the Huntington Park Zone. us 8 elders (6 HP and 2 at USC) have split from our mother zone, Central, and formed our own zone. we hold weekly zone meetings like normal, have zone p-days, like normal, we even made a copy of the declaration i wrote (the original is on a yellow napkin from wendys) and sent it to president. we are thinking about annexing the koreatown elders, and will be getting at least 2 more new ones next transfer. our declaration is signed by all the current missionaries, and we uphold our freedom. The Central zls have tried to force us back into their zone, but have little power to enforce any of their idle threats. Elder porter (central ZL) has declared war. so be it. Viva HP Zone!
