It has been another week here in Riverside, California. It has been a good one with great spiritual experiences.
Tuesday- Today
was actually an early day. It is the beginning of the Multi-zone
conferences throughout the mission so as an Office Elder, I assist the
vehicle coordinator to inspect the cars to make sure all the cars are
clean and working properly. That starts at 7 in the morning. We live 40
minutes from the first one in Hemet (my first area)... without
traffic.We needed to pick up the vehicle coordinator an hour before the
inspections to load everything. Let's just say that we woke up at 4:30am.
It was good. I got to see the missionary that I was training. It was
good to see each other again. He is on the same path as me. He is in a
trio so he is on companion #3 and #4 and in his 3rd area...this is his
3rd transfer. Anyway, after that was done we were able to visit some
people even though we didn't really have any luck.
Wednesday- Today
we had weekly planning. It is the only time we can squeeze it in
without interfering the multi-zones. We helped the Spanish Elders
inspect their car so that they can save their miles for when they go to
their multi-zone tomorrow. After planning, we were able to see Yvonne
Chavez who is loving the gospel. She is getting close, but Bishop wants
us to slow down to make sure she fully understands what she is getting
into. We also got to contact some people we are working with and set
appointments for later this week.
Thursday- The
Multi-zone was in Jurupa which is only 20 minutes away so it wasn't as
bad as Hemet. We also finally got our 2014 Chevy Cruiz back. We were
supposed to have it back like 8 weeks ago but things keep popping us
since our car is the first to go if something happens to another car
else where then we would just use the office 2015 Chevy Silverado. It
is a nice truck, but bad MPG. We went to visit some people at bishop's
request and saw a semi-active family, the Browns, that bishop asked us
to visit to give 12 yr old Andrew a good priesthood influence...even
though wrestling with him probably wasn't the best thing to do. Hey, he
kept coming back. He reminds me of Tucker...is that bad?
Friday- was
our own Multi-zone. It was in Moreno Valley (my last area). It was good
to be back. The conference was super good. It helped us work with the
members better and help our investigators read, pray, and attend church.
The rest of the day wasn't much since the we were at the multi-zone
until about 4pm or so. Gotta love the day-long meetings.
Saturday- Our
full day of proselyting without office work. We went street contacting
all morning, visited a lot of potentials with return appointments or
"Come back Later" responses. The fun began after dinner, which was at a
fundraiser dinner for the youth. It was a spaghetti dinner with an
auction of goodies and service. After dinner we went to see 2 PMF
(Part-member Families) the Mamawals and the Pacillas. They are both
doing good. The Mamawals were in a car accident but they are all ok.
Sunday- was church. We had MCM at 10am then PEC at 11am and church started at 1pm.
So Yvonne Chavez and the Pacillas' came to church (the 9 yr old being
the non-member). It was a good Sunday. After church we had dinner with
the "best" family, the Best's. We had an appointment that fell through
so we went street contacting the rest of the night.
Today- is
P-Day! So far we have played Basket-ball all morning, ate lunch, got
our car washed and currently E-mailing. The rest of the night includes
shopping, dinner, an appointment with Maria and Angel, and an
appointment with an investigator that the Spanish Sisters sent to us
yesterday with contacting in between to fill in the cracks.
It
has been a busy week in more ways that one, but the Lord's work is the
Lord's work. The upcoming week includes 2 more multi-zones, some
appointments and regular missionary work. I love you all. Until next
time...
