Sorry for not E-mailing last
week, I had done a terrible time with time management but I learned
from my mistakes and I won't let it happen again. Anyway, this past week
has been a little slow, but the work was still done, nonetheless. A
summary of 2 weeks ago, the rain made missionary work a little more
interesting. It was kinda unexpected, but it was still fun to bike in
the rain.Other highlights include helping a less-active return to
church, continuing to find people who aren't ready for the gospel,
continuous progress with current investigators such as Ed and Carol. We
had a fun time on a Blitz in the Hidden Springs area. Found them a few
people to contact. Fun fact, a member of the bishopric served in the
same mission as my companion's (Elder Doi) Dad. It was a cool
coincidence. As well as a 6 hour meeting with Elder Hamula from the
Seventy. It was super good. So for this week:
Tuesday was my P-day in which I didn't make time to E-mail. I got a haircut, cleaned the apartment, shopping, all that good stuff.
Wednesday we
had a service opportunity with the Salvation Army. I have always
enjoyed doing service for them since I got here and they love us as
well. We had a lesson with a referral named Hugo, but he wasn't
interested afterwards. Then we went walking around trying to find more
people to refresh our teaching pool. Dinner with the Nunley's was a lot
of fun as usual. We talked about the temple since Sis. Nunley is a
recent convert.
Thursday We
had our D.D.M. meeting due to P-day being on Tuesday, our usual day. We
had Ed come to our weekly Book of Mormon study...after we went to
picked him up. He lived just down the street so it wasn't that bad.
After that, we met up with Daniel, an investigator, had dinner and
started working on those people that the Bishop wanted us to see.
Friday we
had exchanges. I stayed in my area and Elder Langley came to my area.
Elder Langley is 23 and a great example of a missionary. He is on his
second transfer and coming out at age 23 isn't easy. We didn't have much
luck today. No one was home, bad time, etc. It was still a good day
anyway.
Saturday was kinda ruff in the morning. We got 2 referrals from the Spanish Sisters and only one said to come back maybe on Thursday.
I hope so. No one was home until after dinner where we took our ward
mission leader to see Ed. And He said He'll go to church and we had a
member planning on picking him up.
Sunday Ed didn't come to church
.
He told our member that he needed to take care of him mom, who is
rather elderly. Church was still good. I haven't realized until now how
hard it is to get people to come to church. I thought it would be one of
the easier parts of the work. Anyway, after studies we had dinner with
the Hanson's and got back to work looking at the Prospective Elder's
list with not much luck if any.
Today is
a normal P-day for a change. We played basketball in the morning, we
are E-mailing now so I won't forget or make time for it. After P-day we
plan on seeing Jay (17) and Daniel (31). Not super solid but we'll work
on that.
So that is what life is like in Moreno
Valley. I can't believe that we are already half way through this
transfer! Time flies so much! Well, I love you all and have a great
week.
Yeah I did a terrible job with time management this last
week but I'll do better. I think I felt the earthquake. You don't feel
it much here. Members keep asking me if I felt an Earthquake and I am
like ,"Uh...no?" To busy working I guess. Yeah it rained a bit, but all
the gear I have is working well. The overshoes really helped a ton. I
don't like having Lake Perris in my shoes. We seem to play basketball a
lot early in the morning and on P-Day. My Zone Leader, Elder Foy, wants
to make me "an unstoppable, unblock-able beast". We'll see how that
turns out.
Oh I need some money on my Chase card for bike repairs.
It gear guide at the back wheel got caught by the chain and bent it into
the bike wheel. I got it to the nearest bike shop and they said that
the estimated cost would be $80-$100 including labor. I'm not sure how
much money is on the card but I wanted to let you know just in case. I
have been borrowing another Elder's bike who isn't using it right now
since he is in a car. The repairs is estimated to be done tomorrow
afternoon. Just wanted to let you know. It is an used bike after all,
but I am trying to take good care of it.
