Week #37

Hey all!
This was another fast week here in California and a great one! 

Recently we have been working good with our ward mission leader and trying to minister to those in need of help in our ward, it has been working pretty good and has helped some to feel welcomed to come back to activities and church events. 

On Wednesday we had zone conference and it was very good. We talked about working with members and how it says in Preach my Gospel that working with members is the most effective way of doing missionary work, when members help to find people and the missionaries teach the members' friends. Our mission will no longer be street contacting or tracting for some time. We recently had the missionary department come and observe our mission and this is an adjustment they had us make. It will be a good chance to explore different ways of teaching others. 

On Saturday we went on splits with a priest from another ward and  it was awesome. We took Steven to a baptism for an awesome lady and he really enjoyed it. There was someone that came up to him at the baptism  and said, "are you feeling peaceful since you've been at the baptism?" And he said "yes" Then the brother said, "I know every time we feel peace it is God telling us that where we are is where we're supposed to be and that we should do that which we feel is peaceful." It was so awesome and Steven is ready to be baptized soon! 

Yesterday we had Steven, Liza and Beth all come to church .It was awesome and they all loved it! We have such an awesome ward because they welcomed all of our friends so nice. 

All is going good and I hope that you all have a great day and week! 

Love,

Week #36 Sunday Church Miracle

Hey guys! 
Hope you all had a great week! Mine was great! It was also really busy. 

So on Wednesday we helped these 2 ladies out pulling weeds in their yard and we offered to help and they let us! We helped for about an hour or so and then had to leave but came back to help on Friday! They are super nice and really appreciated all we helped with. We invited them to our ward barbeque and it was neat because they came. The ward was so awesome and talked with them and made them feel comfortable! 

We are still teaching Steven and he is so amazing and loves our message we share about the gospel. 

On Thursday I got to be in the ysa (young single adults) for a day and it was a blast! We taught this girl that is new about the Restoration and had a member there and it was one of the best Restoration lessons I've had. Everything was going really well and she said when she came to meet with us she said she felt welcomed and felt the Spirit. Then we got to go to institute with her and I loved it so much! It was an awesome lesson about prophets and apostles being unified as one. We saw a video called United in Rome and it was awesome. It showed the unity of the 1st presidency and 12 apostles. I loved it. I know that we have modern day prophets and apostles leading and guiding us today. This is Jesus Christ's original church once again restored on the earth through His prophet Joseph Smith. 

On Sunday we had 4 people at church! I was like wow that's so awesome and definitely a miracle. We had Steven, the 2 ladies we helped weed and a guy just walked into church. It was a great meeting and they all really enjoyed it. We are meeting with all 4 this week again! 

Today we were able to learn how to fence as a zone. There was a member teaching us! 

Everything else is going great! Have a wonderful day! Happy St Patrick's day yesterday! I love this gospel and know it can bring all true joy! 

Love you all!

Week #35

Hello! 
Hey guys it was another fast week here in California! It's finally starting to stop raining so that's good! 

I heard that the Rome Italy temple was dedicated the other day! That's awesome there is a temple there and it will definitely bless many people over there! 

We had a good week and met with a lot of people. The other day we met this guy who plays the harmonica super good. He started playing a whole bunch and it was awesome! He used to perform a lot around here for city events. 

Well, I'm excited for conference coming soon! I've been listening to all the talks from last conference to get me pumped up for this one. I love conference so much! 

The other day we had a little fishy meal. But it was really good. It was a whole fish. It tasted really good! 

We have been meeting with this guy named Steven and he is so ready for the gospel. He is super humble and is super nice to us. We had a great lesson with him the other day and the spirit was so strong and he loved the message. 

Today we got to go bouldering again and we went with a priest in our ward it was awesome! 

Love you all! Have a great day! 
Love,
