Dear family and friends,
This past week has been a good one, a wet one, but a good one. It went a little like this:
Tuesday- wasn't
really eventful other than DDM which is always good. The new initiative
is "Are you insane?" Meaning are you doing the same thing over and over
again even though nothing is getting done. It was interesting when
Elder Zeng changed the order of the meeting so that Accountability was
at the end instead of before the training. It was inspired because the
training before helped us solve investigator's concerns. We tried some
people but had no luck
Wednesday- was a
little more eventful. We had our weekly planning earlier than usual
because of MLC tomorrow in which we have to prepare for. After planning
and office work, which wasn't really anything, we were able to have a
lesson with Michael. He has a really young family and is worried about
not knowing how to raise a child. Even though we can't help him, we were
able to relate that the gospel and the church can help him since our
church is a family-centered church.
Thursday- was
MLC (Mission Leadership Council). Even though I am not in it, we still
came early to prepare, put supply orders together, and get the pizzas.
4-28" pizzas is a lot...and I ate a lot. Anyway, after the meeting and
cleaning up after said meeting, we tried to get as much work done as
possible. Being Office Elders means that we need to be masters at time
management.... still a work in progress.
Friday- we
had exchanges. I stayed in my area (again) with Elder Zeng... on the
day we needed to bring two truck loads of furniture to Corona (a 20-30
minute drive without traffic but come on...Californina...there is always
traffic) including a 3 seat couch, queen size bed and box spring, a
dresser, and a fridge...in the rain. Elder Zeng isn't exactly the
biggest and strongest elder but we were able to get the job done...more
or less. After that, we tried some people with no luck, but were able to
set up appointments for tomorrow.
Saturday- was
our full proselyting day of the week. We had a blitz for the Mt.
Rubidoux sisters with some luck for them. After we had lunch, we went
contacting for another 2 hours and saw Michael again in the process. We
invited him to church and he said he would. We also saw the Mamawal's (a
part member family) Bro. Mamawal is starting to warm up to us. It's
great.
Sunday- was Fast Sunday...even though Elder Stabler forgot. No one came to church
.
The Guyers were out of town, Yvonne was sick, the Pacillas didn't show
up and neither did Micheal. It was kinda weird, there were only 5 Elders
at church... Elder Merriman went to the YSA ward with some of their
Chinese investigators. After church and no luck visiting other people,
we had dinner with the Sandovals. That house is always a party. Last
time we all tried Habaneros (Even Elder Stabler who refuses to eat
anything spicy) this time they made homemade Salsa which was also spicy.
I love going to that house. That was about it for the rest of the
night.
Today- we played B-ball and chair
soccer for hours! Some of the Elders I was playing chauffeur for were
practicing for a musical number for our Multi-zones on Friday so we were
there longer than I hoped. We ate lunch, came here to E-mail, and will
go shopping, eat dinner and try by some people.
This
past week had been an interesting one... as all weeks in the mission
are and next week will be even more interesting as I go to Hemet, Moreno
Valley, and Jurupa setting up for Multi-zones. Isn't office elder life
great? It has definitely been a learning experience. I love you and
until next time...
