19 October, 2015 - Interesting week

Dear Family and Friends,

This past week has been really interesting. Crazy things has happened and more will come.

Tuesday we were inside for most of the day. With Elder Turner injured and out, Elder Warren ( one of my Zone Leaders) stepped up and took me out to work while my companion and his are injured for the whole week and I really appreciated it. I don't think I can be stuck inside for 10 days. Work in my area was slow but the work in the whole ward isn't too bad. It is kinda interesting to do work in both areas.

Wednesday was Multizones in Jurupa, which is about 20 miles but it took 50 minutes to get there (stupid CA 60 traffic). It was a really good training on finding people and working with the members. Elder Turner went and was on crutches, but he was in so much pain. Poor guy. That took up most of the day, yet we were able to meet a Recent Convert in the evening so it wasn't a total waste.

Thursday was weekly planning, which I basically did myself since Elder Turner is going home. The other Elders in the ward found a Less Active who had his name removed from the church list, but wants to come back and with the current situation, I was there for it. We had a Book of Mormon study with some Recent Converts and Less Actives. We were also able to find more potentials, but nothing has come out of them yet. Since Elder Warren is a Zone Leader and Elder Falou is injured, I went to Stake Mission Coordination Meeting. This might be a sign for leadership. I am purposely saying this so I won't get it until I am a little more experienced.

Friday Elder Falou and I got the opportunity to teach our beliefs to a Roles of Religion Class an Moreno Valley Community College. It was... interesting. I was out with him because Elder Falou wasn't officially on house arrest until Saturday night. Not much happened that day. Falou and I had only been in the ward for 2 weeks so we had no idea who to see.

Saturday I went with Elder Warren to see our potentials. One wasn't home, another said call today to set up a time, and we have communication with another. We also saw a few other Recent Converts and Less Actives. This week has been a long week for sure.

Sunday Falou and Turner were able to go to sacrament meeting, but that was it for them. After church we saw a Recent Convert family who were kinda upset at Falou and Turner... mostly Turner because he was there longer. Luckily, Falou had ripped his pants down is lower areas between the legs and it lightened up the mood. We have dinner every Wednesday with them and Turner will Skype from home to be in the wild and fun conversations.

Today we went to Riverside to get Turner's Itinerary and Falou went with President Mullen to get a new suit. We recently got back and we only have time to E-mail at the Library where there would be enough computers for the 4 of us.

It's sad that Turner is leaving and that Falou will leave soon as well. It has been crazy this week and next week I'll tell you the results from the craziness.
