Mission With Jewkes: 5 September, 2016

Dear Family and Friends,

It feels like I just E-mailed all ya'll yesterday. Well, it has been a short week since I last e-mailed (5 days to be exact). This one might be shorter than other ones but you can see why. Anyways...

WEDNESDAY- was our temple trip as I had said last week. It was super amazing to go. We ran into some sister missionaries from the Rancho Cucamonga Mission. That was kind of fun. Then we ate at Café Rio, it being the only one we can go to. We weren't able to see anyone after that but it was still a good day regardless.

THURSDAY- we went contacting in the morning since it was cooler. Then we did our studies, ate lunch and did our weekly planning. Afterwards, we tried by a few people, got in with a Less-Active member who hasn't been to church in a while due to health issues. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ to invite the spirit in her home. Then, we had dinner with Bishop Minor which is always fun. Afterwards, we knocked on some doors with no real luck. A few doors later we get a call from a member who wanted to drop off money for dinner so we ended the day earlier than planned. Then we planned for tomorrow.

FRIDAY- we did our studies and then after lunch I got to babysit Elder Frisby while his companion, Elder Porter, was at a doctor's appointment. We had him for about 5 hours. Traffic got really bad on the way back from Riverside. We got to use their car for the day so that was fun!

We only got in with A Recent Convert, Daniel. He hadn't been to church in a while and we were just checking up on him. Then, we ate dinner at Carl's Jr with the money from yesterday. After that, we got ready for exchanges. I was leaving the area, allowing the Greenie to take over the area. He was so nervous but I knew that he would be alright. When I called the sisters that night they thought I was crazy, but I have faith in my companion.

SATURDAY- I spent the day in Valle Vista with Elder Porter. We got to see their investigator, Jeff, who was getting baptized the next day. Then we went to do some service with the sisters but by the time we got there it was all done. So we stopped by some yard sales on the way back for lunch. I found a pretty cool tie! After lunch we tried by people with little luck. We visited a few members and had dinner. Then we exchanged back. Elder Rose found a new investigator, Anthony, during the day. I knew that he was able to do it.

SUNDAY- we had MCM, then church. No one came this week

. Some people just don't understand that they need to come to church in order to be baptized. Then we had a member feed us lunch. Then we did our studies and tried some people before it got too dark. We found some solid potential. I hope something comes from that.
