Dear Family and Friends,
This past week has been a
good one! From 4 investigators to church to a baptism coming up on the
2nd. We are super excited! So this is how the week went...
TUESDAY- we
went to Riverside to pick up the new greenies! We had a lot of fun!
There were 3 of us training from Hemet so we all rode together! We had a
lot of fun. My new greenie is Elder Briggs. He is from Burley, Idaho
and is 6' 4"! The only bad thing was that Elder Briggs' bike got stolen
the first night in Hemet 
, but he has a bike to borrow until he can get a new one.
WEDNESDAY- we
had our weekly DDM. It was about having the faith to baptize converts.
It was a good one. My district now has the Spanish Trio so our district
went from 4 missionaries to 7! WE almost doubled in size! After lunch we
went to get Elder Briggs some food since he didn't have any. Then we
started teaching Zackary and Julie. They seem sincere but hard to catch.
Then we went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat. It was a lot of fun! We had an
investigator and a Part Member Family attend so it was a good
missionary opportunity.
THURSDAY- we had our weekly
planning and had a lesson with Vicky. She is doing awesome! She is
getting baptized this Wednesday! (Nov 2) It is super exciting! Then we
had dinner with Bishop Minor and went out with our Ward Mission Leader
and saw Eric. The lesson ended up in a bash about how the Fall was part
of the Plan of Salvation and that it needed to happen. Eric didn't think
so... but he said he'll come to church.
FRIDAY- we
updated our referrals after studies and tried some people before lunch.
Afterwards, we tried some people before we went to service. We went to a
old folk's home and helped run a Fall Festival. We were in charge of
the Cake Walk. The prize was a whole cake! Not a piece, not a single
cupcake, but a whole box! It was crazy! A table full of diabetes! Then
we had dinner with the Gonzalez Family which is always fun!
SATURDAY- we
went to see Zack and Julie...they weren't home. After lunch we found
Davion who is on date for baptism. We asked him why he wanted us to
come back and he said that something told him to invite us back. I think
it was the spirit...
.
We also had a lesson with Kiah, our other golden investigator ready for
baptism. The lesson was short since he didn't have time but it was
still good. After that our ward mission leader took us to Hometown
Buffet! Super good...until I literally ate too much and threw up...so we
stayed in the rest of the night.
SUNDAY- was amazing!
We had 4 investigators to church...FOUR! It was fabulous! Kiah, Vicky,
Eric, and Jaime all came! We were super excited! Vicky also had her
baptismal interview and she is all good to go. Then we went out with
Scotty to see some people but no one was home. Then we had dinner with
President Minor from the stake presidency. They always feed us right!
Then we reported our numbers planned.
TODAY- we had
breakfast, did laundry, played some board games with other elders and we
are E-mailing right now. Then we will shop, play more games, eat dinner
and have a zone activity for the whole night since it's a holiday!
Super excited!
Well, that's the life in Park
Hill (Hemet)! I miss you all, Happy Halloween, and Happy Holidays (they
are just around the corner after all)
Until Next Time...
