Dear Family and Friends,
So
another transfer is under way in the California Riverside Mission. So,
Elder Rose got transferred to Riverside and I am staying put here in
Hemet. I will be training a new missionary...again...for a 3rd time. I
must be good at it or something. Any way the week went like this...
MONDAY- was
any other typical P-day. We played Ultimate Frisbee at a park in San
Jacinto and played card games with the Diamond Valley Elders and the
Valle Vista Elders. It was a ton of fun. Then we had dinner and tried
some people with no luck.
TUESDAY- we had a great DDM. I
had Elder Rose give the training and he did a great job! I don't know
why he is always so down on himself. But afterward we tried people with
no luck. Dinner was Carl's Jr ( we had members give us money) at the end
of the day.
WEDNESDAY- was an alright day. Elder Rose
had an appointment in Riverside so I was with the Valle Vista Elders for
a few hours. Then we helped a member pack up some boxes of books, and
by boxes I mean a ton of boxes! This lady had 1000's of books collected
over the years. We spent like 3 hours boxing them up...and we were only
half way done. Then we went seeking and had dinner at the end of the day
since our dinner cancelled.
THURSDAY- we did service
at the Historic Hemet Theatre again. It was fun finding old posters from
the good ole days. Then we saw our golden investigator, Vicky. She is
super ready. Hopefully she will be baptized next Wednesday. Then we
tried some other people with not as much luck. Then we had more money to
eat dinner at McDonalds. We just haven't been in member's homes to eat
this week but this next week is packed so we're good.
FRIDAY- we
did our weekly planning and tried some people like we always do. We saw
golden investigator #2 Kiah. He is doing great! He had an amazing
miracle. his left arm and leg were paralyzed from a stroke 8 years ago
and during the 3rd hour when he stood to introduce himself he had
unusual strength and was able to extend his fingers on his left hand for
the first time in years which qualifies him for physical therapy! Super
amazing! The gospel is changing his life. Then we had dinner with our
ward mission leader.
SATURDAY- I got the call to train a new missionary @7:28 am.
The rest of the day was rough, no ne was home and we cleaned up the
apartment for the new missionary. Then we found out that Elder Rose was
being transferred to Riverside.
SUNDAY- we had 2
people at church, had lunch with a member and his family since he was
having a baby blessing. Then we went to the hospital to give a blessing,
us being the elders in the area. Then we spent the rest of the day
packing and having dinner with the Tanuvasa's. Everyone was shocked that
Rose was leaving. Everyone was expecting me to leave...
TODAY- we
said goodbye to some members and sent Elder Rose off to Riverside. Now I
am with Valle Vista Elders and E-mailing where tomorrow I will pick up
my greenie in Riverside.
Well that was my week!
Until next time...
Yeah, so I'm staying put in Hemet. After this transfer will be 9 month
in Park Hill. I am training a new missionary again. Don't know why but
I'll have fun with it. So I might be in Park Hill for Christmas, at
least I will for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I don't know who my new
companion is but I hope he's part Asian. Elder Doi is a 1/4 Japanese and
Elder Rose is 1/2 Pilipino. It would be cool if the trend continues but
we'll see. Look forward to that package!
Yeah I'm still a DL. It is just weird to train again back to back, not a lot of missionaries do that.
