Heeeey mom!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat week!
Lots of meetings. I'll give you a run down of the week:
Monday: Pday we drove Decker Canyon all the way to the PCH north of
Malibu. Way pretty! I'll attach some pics for you. We had exchanges that night
with elder Gates and Elder Hofheins, and we had to pick up some reports from a high
councilmen, so we were late as usual...
Tuesday: I spent the day with Elder Gates in the Dos Vientos and
Conejo Canyon wards. We did a lot of walking, so my footsies hurt because of
the sliver incident but all is well!
We got to talk to quite a few peepz, so it was nice. Good good missionaries.
Love them!
Wednesday: President and the assistants came down so president could
do interviews for our zone. While he was interviewing, we trained the
missionaries on stuff we learned last week from Bro. Heaton and stuff like
that. It was way good! Shortly after we had a stake meeting with T.O. and
president Castro, so that was good. But nobody really cared about the report
that we tediously put together for them.. Then president trained the Ward
Mission Leaders and we sat in, and then went home! We were at the church
from... well, lets see... 11:45 to 8:45. We left for about 20 min to get McDonalds
because we had to cancel our like one dinner appointment that we had for the
week... Great! Hahahahahahaha that’s our life! Meetings.
Thursday: We exchanged with Westlake. Elder Hatch came with me, and
it was good! We got a call from our office telling us to go give a blessing at
the hospital ASAP. We drove over and checked in and found the lady, but we had
to wait while she went into a procedure, so we talked to a catholic guy about
the Book of Mormon, and gave him one. Then we went in to see Tamy... She was in
a motorcycle accident with her boyfriend (Both from riverside, she’s a member),
and they flew 70 feet, he died on impact, and she broke both hips, and arm, a
leg.... she was pretty beat up. We said hi, and she immediately said, "my
boyfriend Scott is dead..." and started crying. Broke my heart! But we
were able to give her a blessing, then be on our way. Crazy day!
Friday: we planned and got our new zone t-shirts! They look so cool!
I'll send you a picture. We helped set up chairs for the road show in T.O. for
EVER while trying to teach our recent convert matt, then had dinner with Kristi
Eide in Malibu Lake with our ward mission leader Chris. It was great! Really
good day. Then Elder Brodie got to give a baptismal interview for some other
missionaries. So good!
Saturday: We went to Ventura and met Elder Perry! He was so cool! He
shook all of our hands, and talked to us about working with ward members. So...
you better be telling those missionaries who they can go see! (Less active or
non-member!) DO IT! :) But it was a good meeting. We had dinner with Jun, who
just is coming back to church. Really good day.
Sunday: Church! pretty good! Love it! We have a great ward.
But that’s our week! Thanks for sending more shirts... I appreciate
you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x 100,000,000,000!!!!!!!! You are the best!
Could I still snag some money from you too? You rock.
That’s pretty much it for me over here. Good week! Lots of exciting
stuff. Busy busy busy.... Keep in touch! I love you tons.
