18 July, 2016 - The Heat is on!!!

Dear Family and Friends,

It has been a great, hot, exciting week full of new experiences! It has been a blast! Anyways...

MONDAY- was just like any other p-day in Hemet: Basketball, E-mail, shopping, all that fun stuff. Then, we had dinner with the De Tomaso's. We also helped them move some couches afterwards since they are a little older. It reminded me of Office Elder Life😜. Then we tried contacting for the rest of the day and planned for tomorrow.

TUESDAY- we had a quick DLC at the Zone Leader's apartment since Elder Drebot was sick for most of the week. Then we got in with a member referral named Alec. He is super solid! He is open and accepts all that we had taught him! Then we tried by several people with no luck and we helped the ZL's: they needed a body to babysit Elder Drebot while Elder Chapman went to a lesson they had scheduled. I babysat this time. Then we went contacting and had dinner with the Gonzales' and taught a less active named John Gonzales while we were there. Then we went home to plan.

WEDNESDAY- was a good contacting day. We couldn't get in with anyone except a recent convert named Joseph... who I baptized with Elder Cornia last year (memories) and Kathy who provided us money for dinner the next day since she was going to a funeral. We had dinner with the Brown's, which is amazing as always and tried some more people with no luck then went home and planned for tomorrow.

THURSDAY-  we did our weekly planning... with brownies. Then after lunch we got to see Alec again and saw Tiffany and taught her the Restoration. Then we visited potentials and went contacting and used Kathy's money to get dinner at Carl's Jr. Then we went with our ward mission leader to see Daniel. He is doing well, but we need to push back his date due to word of wisdom issues. Slowly but surely. Then we went home to plan.

FRIDAY- we had our Multi-Zone meeting. It was super amazing! We had great training on contacting referrals, becoming passionate disciples, and having faith to do the Lord's work. It was amazing! That meeting was from 7am-5pm so it was rather long. We had dinner and went contacting for the rest of the night. Then we went home to plan.

SATURDAY- we saw Alec again in the morning. We went contacting and then we went with Scotty Campbell to see Leigh and her boyfriend David. It was a good lesson. Then, he went with us to contact some referrals. He also took us out to get smoothies. It was a relief from all the heat. Then we tried some people, had dinner with the Campbells (Scotty fell asleep while we were there because he works swing shifts at Big 5 and had 4 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours so he crashed on the couch. Then we saw the Redfern's, a less active couple. Then we went home to plan.

SUNDAY- we had Daniel and Mark come to church. It was great! After church, lunch, and studies, we tried some people and got in with Becca and taught her. Then we had dinner with the Ika's. First time I ever had a whole lobster. It was interesting. Then while we were contacting, we ran into Martin, who really wants a change in his life. He is super cool!

Well, that was the basics of my week. This upcoming week we have ZDM and have exchanges with the Zone Leaders. It is going to be a fun week. Love you all! 

Until next time...
