Riley #75 - Huntington Park, CA - 4th of July, Superstition, Saving us some Goat
July 7, 2014
Dear Family,
Thank you for the letters. We are running low on
time today, so I am not sure how much I'll be able write. Sounds like an
exciting week with Mollie's homecoming and waiting on Jake's letter.
Independence Day was pretty normal for us. We turned in at 6 and started
our weekly planning. There were a ton of fireworks. It seemed like
every block had their own show set up, and there was smoke in the
streets.
Our neighbors had a ton of fireworks. It kept on going a few
hours with loud music playing. The fireworks were pretty good. Much to
my surprise, we actually managed to sleep through the night. We had
music on and the fan going, so it wasn't too noisy.
It was a little difficult to meet with people because of the Fourth
of July. A lot of them had family over or were busy with something.
One
of our investigators recently found out he has cancer. He isn't too
concerned about it, but his family apparently have some sort of
superstition he participated in to make him better. It required
slaughtering three goats and roasting them. Sounded pretty good. He said
he'd save us some goat.
We just took the pictures right now, so you're pretty lucky you got them.
Love,
Elder Bowman
