Last Week of the Transfer

Monday: 19th birthday!!!! But we didn't do anything super special. It was just a normal preparation day, nothing too big happened. I just went to lunch with the district at Chick-fil-A, then hung out at the church for a while and emailed and called family. Then I went home and opened some packages that I got for my birthday. 

Tuesday: Had a fun experience this day, we got out of the car and a lady yelled from across the street, and asked if we were Christian, and we said yes, so she wanted us to go over and pray with her because her father passed away a year ago and she was getting closer to finding out if he was murdered.... So it was nice that we got to pray with her. Then we knocked on the door we were planning on, because this house had requested a Book of Mormon, so we went to give it to him and he yelled at us for soliciting and didn't even let us tell him why we were there. 

Wednesday: We had a 6 week missionary zoom for all missionaries that have been out for 6 weeks lol who would've guessed. And that was super nice to see some familiar faces and be able to share and hear experiences with those that are going through the same thing as me. 

Thursday: It got up to 105 degrees here in Simi this day and it was horrible. Luckily we had weekly planning that saved us from going out in the heat of the day. Then we went and had a baptismal interview for Jorge. He passed!!!! We are still working on a date, but it's exciting that he is taking that step!

Friday: The exciting thing that happened today was I got to play basketball at the park. I have wanted to try finding something like this for a really long time, and we finally were able to do it! So we went to the park at 7:00pm and there were about 10 people playing and we talked to them and they invited us to play and we did and got someone's number afterwards!!! That was awesome!!!

Saturday: Called a lot of people that have been in contact with missionaries before, and a couple answered and we set up lessons in a couple days. Then we had a good family dinner! 

Sunday: Great fast Sunday and I love hearing all the testimonies! Then we had breakfast for break the fast, after YSA and that was some delicious pancakes!
