Dear family and friends,
It has been an amazing week here in Hemet. The mission saying is "Hemet is Heaven" That is defiantly true. Anyway...
WEDNESDAY- we were able to start of the day
with 5 new investigators! #baptizingfamilies! It is always fun to find a
family ready to hear the gospel. We had an appointment that we had
scheduled a week ago canceled so we got to look for more people to
teach. We were also able to see a Less Active named John. He lives with
his brother and they are the best member missionaries in the world!!!
THURSDAY- We
had a great service opportunity. We helped a Non-member move from our
area to Fruitvale's area and she wants to start taking the lessons
.
Oh well, that is how missionary work is sometimes. The new investigator
of the day was Ireen. She is a great lady who loves Christ. Things look
good with her, she is just busy
. HOW!!! No body works here...or works in Riverside.
FRIDAY- after
studies, we had our planning session which is always fun. Then, we
spent most of the day looking for people to teach and visiting
potentials. No one was home today...bummer. But we ran into this awesome
lady who is in a pickle, but knows that she needs to come back to
church and follow Christ again. She is super solid... but lives in the
Little Lake Sisters' area
. Our area is too small... and in downtown so who knows where everyone lives. Again, missionary work is like that sometimes.
SATURDAY- we
were able to teach Regie...but he believes that Jesus is Black and said
he'll read the Book of Mormon, but we could tell he wasn't that
interested. After lunch, we were able to teach Hector who is going
through a rough time and needs Christ in his life. Everyone has
struggles in Hemet, but everyone is humbled to listen to our message so
that's good. We saw our most solid investigator, Daniel. He really wants
to be baptized...but he needs to work our some personal issues first.
We also saw Cameron and picked up his 9 year old daughter. They seem
solid.
SUNDAY- we had church. Only Daniel showed up so
we are working on getting more to church. After Church, I gave my first
Baptismal Interview for the Zone Leaders. That was fun. Then all of our
appointments fell through and no one was really interested to hear more.
After dinner, since it was later, we didn't do much for the rest of the
night. Then, I collected numbers for the district and did the nightly
calls. Goals are set. Work is ready to carry on!
So that was my week. It was also pretty hot...as usual, but it was fun nevertheless. I love you all. Until Next Time...
It is crazy how fast people are ready to leave and coming home. The package did come!!! Thank you soooooo much!! The pants were worn out and holes crept up. The bike is alright. We have a thing called "Mission Heat Alert Days". If it gets over 100, we get a text saying it is a "Mission Heat Alert Day" and they advise us to stay inside from 12pm-5pm. We try to move studies to that time and get rides with members to see people. Other than that, we call people to set up appointments and other indoor missionary work. Elder Maughan is good. He is from Eastly, South Carolina. His dad is a Kayak Designer so he got to ride a lot. He wrestled in High School. He does have Dyslexia but that doesn't stop him. Yep, I have settled in. Everyone remembers me so that's fun! Most of the people moved on so that was sad, but that's alright. The ward is great, better than last time even. The ward mission program has gotten better, more members are coming out, people are feeding us. It's great. Same apartment. I think I am good with stuff.
It is about the same when it comes to temperature. Hemet is kinda dry. Elder Maughan says it is a lot better than the humid South. It's "Hotter", but better. .....yeah I hope nothing happens to Tucker while biking. We got 2 people to church!! Daniel who we have been working with for a while, and Mark. It was the first time I met him so I have no clue about him.
