Week3

Monday: Halloween was great! We had service for a lady in the channel islands area, we cleaned out a room in her house that had been poorly taken care of, so it was a little disgusting. Then we had a district activity, where we played signs, and other party games which was fun. Then chilled inside because we weren't aloud to go out. We had a mission zoom about family history, a zone challenge of calling, posting on Facebook, and other things as a competition to keep us working even though we couldn't go out. Then President Carter told some fun stories from his ancestors on another zoom!! 

Tuesday: We had a nice lesson with our friend Margaret, who has been reading the Book of Mormon, praying a lot, and seeing answers to those prayers, we're just working on getting her to church! Stopped by Israel, who is someone that is interested but super busy right now. We shared a scripture with him real quick then he had to go. 

Wednesday: Had a lesson with a returning member, Sister Sanchez. Who is the sweetest lady, and loves visiting with us. We're trying to get her to meet with Bishop so she can attend the temple! We talked to a lot of people, and not a lot were interested. But we keep trying and eventually we'll find the one!

Thursday: We had weekly planning, and we're able to assess where our friends are at, and how we can best help them progress. We had a great member dinner with the Lassen family and got to know them! 

Friday: District council we talked about praying with faith, and the role of the Book of Mormon and it was super good! Then later that day we did some Facebook work and I was talking with a man from Nigeria who is interested in the Book of Mormon, so we texted with him about it, then sent him the missionaries number in Nigeria! We're gonna ask him if he reached out later today and if not, we'll have the missionaries there reach out! 

Saturday: Had our Friend David come to the Saturday session of Stake Conference and that was awesome!! He said he enjoyed it, so hopefully he continues to want to come to church!!

 

Sunday: Stake conference was great! The talks were centered on the covenant path, and the blessing that come from attending the Temple! Along with how staying in the covenant path will not only bless individuals but also families!! 

So I encourage all of you to attend the temple! I know as you do you will see the blessings that come from it, and the amazing comfort that you'll be able to feel in such a crazy world!! 

Love you all, hope you have a good week!!
