So, a new transfer is upon
us and many changes occurred. So all of us that were in University
Heights are now District Leaders (Including me...yay). So, I left to a
"new" area. The quotation is because I got transferred to an area that I
have served before: Park Hill in Hemet. Yep, my first area that I was
in almost exactly a year ago...on bike...in the middle of summer. That
is so weird!!! I am with Elder Maughan. He is from South Carolina and
has been out for 3 months. So...
MONDAY- was a good old transfer P-day. I got to Hemet at around 10:30
to get out of the office ASAP. So after all the activities and settling
in and emailing and what not, we had dinner with the Bishop's. I
remember when they moved in last year. This week has been full of De Jah
Voo (or however it is spelled). Then, we tried to see Ken (an
investigator in the area) and went street contacting for the rest of the
day then we planned for tomorrow and did nightly calls with my
district.
TUESDAY- was my first DDM!
It
was pretty nerve-wrecking but I think I did alright. I did a training
of "Teach People Not Lessons". It turned out alright. It was a little
weird because our district has 2 sets of sisters and 1 set of Elders. It
was kinda awkward but it was alright. After we tried a bunch of people
and we were only able to get in with Juan, who is now a new
investigator. We had dinner with the Gonzales Family, which is the BEST
family in the Ward!!! Good times. Then, we got home, planned for
tomorrow and made calls with the sisters.
WEDNESDAY- was
a day full of contacting referrals. So apparently, this area had a
blitz last week and got a ton of referrals so we spent a good chunk of
the day contacting with them and setting appointments. We also went
street contacting (which we call Seeking With Faith) and had dinner with
the Dunn's. They took us to IN-N-OUT. only the best burger place in the
world!!! Then we tried some more potentials and got home to plan for
tomorrow and called the sisters.
THURSDAY- we
had a District Leader Training at the mission office so we carpooled
with all 4 DL's in the Hemet stake and took the 1 hour drive to
Riverside, had the 3 hour meeting, and drove back...stopping at
Chick-Fil-A on the way back of coarse since there isn't one in Hemet.
After the meeting, we did our weekly planning until dinner since it was
so hot. We had dinner with the Johnson's and since Gabby wasn't home we
went walking until our Ward Mission Leader picked us up to see Daniel.
He is super solid, he just has some things to work out.
FRIDAY- we
tried by potentials and some investigators with no luck then we had
lunch and went Seeking with Faith until dinner with the Sorto's. They
moved in 2 months
ago so I didn't know them. our appointment with Hector cancelled so we
were going home until we talked to this one guy and he asked if we knew
anything about electrical work for cars. Fortunately, Elder Maughan does
so we helped with that and it turned into a 30 minute discussion about
the Plan of Salvation. It was epic. Then we went home, planned for
tomorrow and called the sisters.
SATURDAY- we
spent some extra time preparing talks that the Park Hill missionaries
had tomorrow that I happened to walk into. Elder Maughan told me
Wednesday so it wasn't a total surprise. After Lunch, we tried everyone
we knew trying to find people to teach. Our ward mission leader gave us
money for dinner then, we went to see Hector with Scotty Campbell (The
assistant WML) It was good. He has some struggles (#Hemetlife) but we
can work them out. Then we went home, make calls and finalized our talks
for Sunday.
SUNDAY- was church. It was
great. Almost everyone recognized me and was super glad that I was back.
Daniel came to church so that was good. Our talks went alright. I had
that moment when I basically ripped my talk in half and did something
totally different. Daniel LOVED church. He has now come a few weeks and
we look forward to a baptism soon. After church, we had lunch and did
our studies since we had MCM at 7:30 and Ward Council at 8:00
and Church from 9-12. Our dinner had to cancel since they also wanted
to feed the sister missionaries in the next ward over in their
boundaries so we were the ones who had to cancel. However, the Gonzales
were more than willing to feed us. After dinner we had a lesson with
Adam Gonzales' Less active brother John, and tried some people on the
way back. So we found plastic junk on the road so we decided to throw it
off the road...but I threw a piece without looking and hit Elder
Maugham right in the face! He bled for 5 minutes and I felt SUPER BAD.
We're all cool though. Then we sent in our weekly numbers, collected the
sister's numbers and called them.
This transfer is going to be interesting. Who knows what will happen. Love you all. Until next time...
