My Week

Monday: For our preparation day activity as a district we had a cereal bar and played basketball, and it was way fun! Did 4v4v4 and just had a good time! That night we went and gave a member a blessing, then went and visited the Carey's!

Tuesday: District council was great! Talked about having faith to find through our own efforts, and serving those in our areas! Went to Bob Kildee park for a comp study and someone was sitting where we usually do, but we went over anyway and she started talking to us, and we eventually got her info and sent it over to the Westlake YSA, so hopefully that goes somewhere! Went to Candy Cane Lane and met 2 boys named Nathan, which was crazy! Met with the Lovstedt's and that was great! 

Wednesday: Had district exercise and played a game called gatorball that is super fun. Then cleaned our apartment because we had building inspections Sister Sanchez was so nice and gave us some Rice Pudding(arroz con leche) and that was pretty good. Had a visit with Carlos a returning member and he brought us pizza! That went super well and then we went to work on Facebook! 

Thursday: Had fun asking people to be a part of a Christmas video we're making and had quite a bit of people do it! Had a great impromptu visit with the Kanogata'a family and they are super sweet! Had a couple of lessons fall through which was a little sad. But we stopped by the Evans to see how they've been, and she gave us some really good chocolate and gingerbread. 

Friday: Did lots of finding and didn't have a whole lot of success. Talked to a lot of people, but not a lot of people were interested in the gospel... We did talk to a guy named Bib who is super chill and loves to talk with us. We got there just as he needed some service so we were able to help him out with that! I had never met him before Friday, but were going to stop back by becuase he is interested in learning. 

Saturday: Did some service for someone that is moving out of our ward, and then went contacting up by her and talked to a couple of nice people! Went and visited an older member and she gave us some really good peanut brittle as well as some hot fudge to put on icecream! Then we had our ward party and that was really good, and really fun! After that we went and did some Facebook work! Went biking all over the place, but it was a fun day! 

Sunday: Had church, then was able to attend a review of a Elder Holland fireside that was last week, and learned a lot from that! Had a great visit with the Mackay family. Had the opporunity to go Christmas Carroling which was really fun! Had a great visit with the Tuimaualuga family! 

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas next week, and I challenge you all to find something you can give to the Savior this Christmas! 

Love you all, Merry Christmas from sunny California!
