Dear Family and Friends,
This past week
has been fabulous! There were lots of good things that happened. New
investigators, Training (always fun), Summer coming to an end! It just
doesn't get much better than this. Anywho...
TUESDAY- we
actually had exchanges! I was in Echo Hills with Elder Beigle who goes
home in 2 weeks. We started with DDM then we went to Riverside because
the ZL's needed a new phone because they dropped it...from a tree...
after they threw it up...everything's all good, except they lost all of
their contacts so they had to start all over
.
Then we had a late lunch, all appointments fell through and after
dinner we took the member that fed us to see a Less-Active family. It
was a long day. Elder Beigle had to take Benadryl so I drove the rest of
the night because he was so out of it. Elder Rose and Elder Drebot
found 2 new investigators: Shantel and Angelia so the day went alright.
WEDNESDAY- we
had our once-a-transfer luncheon with Bob Davis. He is basically the
stake mission leader. After the luncheon we went to see Manny but he was
at school for the day so we went seeking in their neighborhood instead.
Then we found James and talked with him for only 10 minutes, he needed
to go to a rehab session to quit alcohol. He is doing great. Then we had
dinner with the Brown's which is always good with blue Jello and
homemade applesauce! Then we tried some potentials with no luck and went
home to plan for tomorrow.
THURSDAY- there
wasn't much that happened. We had studies then we went to do service
for the Historic Hemet Theatre again. This time we finished the bolts so
we got to sweep out the bottom of the stage. It was super bad. I was
coughing for the rest of the day. Then, we did our weekly planning, went
seeking and had dinner with the Gonzalez family. Super good as usual.
Then we had to rush back to our apartment because the ZL's had packages
for us. I got a little care package from the Hyde Park 2nd Ward Primary.
It was super awesome and unexpected. They gave me a Spanish and English
Book of Mormon to give. More details to come later.
FRIDAY- had
not much event. We tried some old potentials and visiting Alec with no
luck. After lunch we went to see some potentials in a certain area. No
one was home nor outside. We now know where not to go on a weekday
afternoon
.
We also found two random toilets on the street corner...that's Hemet
for ya! Then we went seeking and while we were we got a call from the
Little Lake sisters. They told us that they have an investigator for us
who lives in our area and she was taught the restoration and attended
church 2 times already! Blessings for diligence!! Then we had dinner and
prepped for exchanges!
SATURDAY- yep
exchanges again. It was my exchange this time, me being the District
Leader. I went to the Spanish ward to work with Elder Lewis. We couldn't
get in with anyone but we talked to a ton of people. Half of them
Spanish. I was able to even give out that Spanish Book of Mormon that I
got in my package! It was super sweet. After exchanges we went back to
plan for tomorrow.
SUNDAY- no one came to church
but
it was still a good day. After church we picked up a new investigator
named Gabriel. He is super cool. Then we went seeking. Right as we got
the number of contacts we needed, we got a flat (Well, Elder Rose got
the flat, my bike is "Ole Faithful"
)
and we were 2 miles away from the apartment. So we called a member to
come get us and 2 people offered to help us out while we were waiting
for said member to get us. On the way back, Adam (member) asked if we
had a Book of Mormon that he could give to a friend, so I gave him the
English one I got in my package. Then we had dinner dropped off and went
to see some referrals before we ended the night with reporting and
planning.
TODAY- so far we played
Volleyball, had lunch and E-mailed. Afterward we are going to play some
board games (we got laundry done in the morning and we shop for 2 weeks
worth at a time) have dinner with the Johnson's and see some Part Member
Families.
So that was our week. This upcoming
week is "Senior Week" where my boy (Elder Rose) gets to take over the
area for a week. He took over an area twice this past week so this will
be easy for him. Wish us luck and put us in your prayers.
Until Next Time,
