Dear family and friends,
Well, we are almost at the end of another transfer. It is kinda cool to end a transfer on General Conference Weekend. Awesome!!!
Tuesday was
slow but we managed to see some people. One member found a new place to
live via miracle. She needed a bigger place to fit her whole family and
she bought a place for $6,000. BOUGHT, not RENT! That's awesome! It was
slow, but we needed some time to tidy up the apartment for inspections
and I had to pack to go on exchanges tomorrow.
Wednesday was
exchanges! I went to the Echo Hills Area (About 2-3 miles south of us)
with Elder Reyes. We also had apartment inspections. It was weird being
inspected because I wasn't even at our apartment. We both did good, just
need to sweep the patio, which we never stepped foot in. We saw a lot
of their investigators and had dinner with their Ward Mission Leader. He
is a really good guy. Our area did really good as well so it was a good
day for both of us. Since my companion is a DL and our district is full
of sisters, we only do exchanges once per transfer.
Thursday was
our weekly planning which isn't that bad, we are just inside a little
longer. Once we got outside, we did teach a family of 6, sort of. The
parents weren't really involved. Unfortunately they are moving out of
our ward by the end of the month, but the kids will be baptized by some
lucky missionaries. We had dinner with the Bishop, who is the only
bishop I ever had that constantly uses the word "Dude". He is really
awesome. He took us to the oldest restaurant in Hemet. A Chinese place
that has been running for 45 years.
Friday kinda
sucked because we had planned so much and they all fell through except
for one. Bishop also asked us to stop by a lady in the ward who recently
had an accident. We stopped by and the ward already provided blessings
and they are on top of things. We did have an excellent BOM reading
session with a less active. We are currently in the Isaiah Chapters and
he knows a little more than we do. Why doesn't he come to church?
Saturday was
kinda the same thing. We did manage to get some paperwork done though.
(YAY) We had dinner with some members that collect almost anything. The
wife is in the process of buying antiques to re-sell at a Rummage Sale
they have in their senior community. The husband is planning to do
missionary work there by handing out Book of Mormons. The members here
are good with their missionary work. They always bring at least 1
nonmember to church every week.
Sunday was
the Primary Program!!! It reminded me of home and how great primary
was. We also had some good lessons on repentance and being a good role
model for the young men as Melchizedek priesthood holders. Also, our
zone leaders had a baptism at our building so we helped them set up and
clean up. We had dinner at the Stenzels and their 3 boys are 14, 16, and
17 and they are just like any other set of brothers who always tease
and goof around with each other.
Today we played Volley-ball with both zones in the Hemet Stake, writing e-mails, and doing the usual P-Day stuff.
Next
time on "Mission with Jewkes" : General Conference where 3 new Apostles
will be called, our quarterly trip to the Redlands Temple, and transfer
call for the upcoming transfer. Stay tuned and don't miss out.
❤Elder Jewkes
