This week was
good Monday we had pday which was really good we went down to Ukiah and drove
the sisters down cause they are low on miles and we played some hardcore ball,
wth the whole zone it was really fun, we celebrated 2 birthdays so that was
really that night we went and tried to see the labrash family and they said to
come by Wednesday night so we said okay!
Tuesday we had
district meeting we were taught by my companion elder southwick since he is the
district leader. It was good we talked about introducing the Book of Mormon and
different way that's we can introduce it to people's life's and help them out
personally, after district meeting we went on exchanges with elder oiler he is
super cool guy. We went and did some finding and less active finding we were
able to teach with one less active it was a good lesson and he said he would
come to church so that's cool.
On Wednesday we
went less active finding and went through the whole list and we were knocking
on the door and no one aswered of course but we were walking to the drive way
and the lady came home and instead of you know seeing us and we seeing her and
she knows we saw her we think you know she is going to come and park in her
driveway but she looks at us and swerves and keeps driving up the road pretends
that she didn't see us haha, it was funny a lot of that happens here, people
look and is and they think that we have the Black Plague haha. But it's slowly
starting to cool down next tomorrow it's only supposed to be 85 degrees, yay.
But we went and had dinner with the rodriguez family again they have us every
Wednesday and we usually have the same thing every time pasta with this weird
sausage, it's not bad. But we had a good lesson with them after and there care
takers Connie and tom always listen to us they belong to another church and
they are super cool people they like us a lot haha. They always are super
excited for the message at the end. After that we went to the labrashes and
they are a super cool family I love them a lot we had a really good spiritual
lesson with them we got both of them to open and share some personal things and
we shared some personal things, my companion shared about testimonies and I
shared about the temple and how I have had a really hard with the temple and
going to the temple and just enjoying it, but now starting to love it each time
I go, it's a process but I the feeling of peace in your heart when you go and
knowing that you are where you are supposed to be even though we aren't perfect
that's where we are supposed to be, if we were perfect nothing would stop us
from seeing Jesus and the father haha. But I told them also that I love the
temple cause that's where the family is sealed and how we were sealed together
as a family and how special that is to me and how Important it is to me. But also
the importance of being able to save others on the other side of the veal and
feeling there presence and knowing and feeling there joy as you do those
ordinances. The lesson was really good they agreed to read the Book of Mormon
with us when we come by, so yay!! I think one of the things that they are going
through is that they weren't really raised knowing the church they went when
they were kids but they stopped going when they turned 18 and now they feel
embarrassed to go to church cause they think that they will be judged cause
they don't know the church that well, but the next time we go over we will tell
that, that is okay. It's a huge learning process and we are all learning and
right now is the perfect time to start. But yeah it was a good lesson, I think
that my trial personally right now is keeping the faith, so many people are
badgering us on if there is a God and if everything is true and yeah, it's a
struggle. But I just gotta keep looking ahead and keeping my head. Cause I know
it's true.
But on Thursday
we went less active finding and didn't really have success but we were able to
have dinner with the east hams and teach there 11 year old sun he is super cool
he has a disability but he is very smart we are teaching him he wants to get
baptized. It was a really good lesson we taught him the plan of salvation.
After that we went to Denis and vessas house to see how they are doing and we
taught them about Callings cause they are going to get one!! Yeah! Love that
family, they make some bomb Mexican food.
Friday was good
we planned all day and messed around with the other missionaries planning with
us haha. We planned a good this week though.
Saturday we
went to a baptism up in lowers lake because the middle town sisters had a
baptism!! It was super good middle town just had a fire and it is very burnt
the whole place is in ashes so so sad,
it after we went and saw Tami but she wasn't home Maurice and Tami are
main investigators they kind just kinda disappeared which is super sad we will
keep trying though.
Today was church and we had a good time we taught the
first lesson in gospel principles we then went and visited members and saw how
they were doing, and we had a good dinner with bishop and his family is was
awesome this week was really good I love you guys !!
Hope everything is well. And if your wondering why I sent
this tonight is cause we are going on a hike tomorrow morning and we asked the
zone leaders if we could send them off tonight !! Sorry if you were going to
email me questions, I will answer them tomorrow if you have any haha, tell he
kids I love them !!!
