Week 36: September 12




Monday we had pday and we canceled the hike cause people wanted to go to Ukiah again, to play basketball so why not? It's fun, we also went and played frisbee golf which I love. And guess what ?! We saw Michael and Rose there and the park ! I love that family it was so good to see them and to know how good they are doing, when rose saw me she gave me a big hug it was sweet! We also saw the carsons they are awesome as well. We had a good time playing frisbee and elder out here he lives in Orem and he is my fav. We are really good friends, but president called him telling him his parents are getting divorced I feel really bad for him it's super sad cause they were sealed 7 years ago as a family. It's super sad to see but it's more and more common in this world. But pday was good.

Tuesday guess who came up on exchanges one of the APs his name is elder Hensley. Cool guy played for the Arizona sun devils football team. But we worked our butts off all day we went up to nice and Lucerne and upper lake we had a really good lesson with this investigator we finally met with, her name is Venus and wow she has changed 100% since the last time we saw her, she loves God now and puts him in her life everyday, it was a long lesson. We went and saw the mintons as well after that that took a long time to see cause they live kinda far, but we had a met with them and taught them about temples and testimonies and church and they really opened up they are a really really awesome family I love them a lot, after that we did a lot of finding which took up most of the time, we then went to the schribers home to eat dinner and mom guess what she made?! She made the curry broccoli and rice, and it tasted the exact as yours it was a little piece of home :) it was a good dinner that family is really cool she has something wrong with her body though, she is in pain 24/7 which is horrible but she is staying strong. We went to he church after and dropped the AP with his companion and they left after that we went to the labrashes and had a good meeting with them, they are loving us coming over now, we taught them about the Book of Mormon and they asked a lot of questions of how it was made and Joseph smith, it's amazing how much they want to learn now that they know that we are they just to help them.

On Wednesday we did a lot of finding during the day on lakeshore road found a couple people who could kinda be potentials, but that night I got really sick, had super big shivers and I got a fever all night and my lungs were clogged so that wasn't to good. Thursday We just stayed in cause I had a fever and I was in no mood to do anything.

But Friday was a little better so we went to the church and planned all day and tried to go see the Scott's  it they were not home.

Saturday was pretty good we went out and saw some peeps and then went to do some service for a member and did some yard work it was sweet, after we went to Denis and vessa s for dinner she made amazing Mexican food. And we taught them some cool stuff 😃😃 like always. We talked about callings and how important they are.

Sunday was church ward council in the morning it was really good we talked about a lot of people and got names to go see. Church was good until after when we got asked to speak next week!! 😱🏃🏃🏃 naaa it will be good 😀 I am going to speak on love. Pretty easy haha. But after church we went and saw this old guy who told us to leave haha. It was good, but after we went and had smoked salmon straight from Alaska at the larsons !! Yeah 🐠🐠!!

Today we are going to Ukiah again!! But this might be he last time I go there cause transfers are next week so I will find out Saturday where I am going !! So far 4 1/2 in Ukiah and 4 1/2 here! I am a 4 1/2 month guy! So for family home evening you could do  (Pressing Forward through the Plateaus: by Christopher Drake.)  It's in the September ensign. My thoughts on it is that as we do all of these out door activities and go hiking and cycling and any out door crazy sport that it requires some hard training or experience just like life we need to be prepared for the worldly adversity, and he talks about what he needs to do work out the muscles that he doesn't really work. And what of the outcome ? After doing all of those things there is pain of soreness after. Sometimes in life we try our hardest we do our best and after stuff happens trials come up that we have to work through we have to make those muscles stronger. Which makes us stronger and able to resist temptations. Those are my quick thoughts haha.

But I love you guys here is a little thing about love that Albert Einstein said " This universal force is love. When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.
Love is light, that enlightens those who give and receive it.
Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.
Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.
For love we live and die.
Love is God and God is love. "

Yeah! We went fishing this morning bright and early at the olsons dock! It was sweet. Caught a pretty good size one! Transfers are on Tuesday and we find out on Saturday where we are going so you will find out next week! It's crazy how fast it flies by yet super slow at the same time. Definitely the biggest hardest thing I have ever done haha. It's super fun though we have fun. We might go to the ocean next Monday and go ocean fishing with the larsons son. He just got back from Alaska. So it will be cool! The AP that came up said he would tell president to send me up to eureka ! Hopefully I go up there next hah :)

Pretty cool, well I hope all of you are doing really well, and know that I love you!! ️ with all the 🐎🐎's in Rohan
