Monday: Had a super fun preparation day! As a district we went to a park, had a picnic, and then played some sand volleyball! A couple of us were diving all over the place which made it super fun and led to a lot of laughter!! I got to talk to my amazing family, then went and set up an appointment for an Easter message with someone, so that'll be awesome!!!
Tuesday: Had interviews with President Carter which are always awesome! Came out of the interview with confidence to do the work and some great things to share with some of the people being taught! After interviews we tried to talk to a lot of people that have met with missionaries in the past, they were all really nice, their hearts just aren't quite soft enough. However, we did talk to Jill! Her and Carlos(husband), are super nice, love the church, but are already a part of a different faith. We have never been able to talk to Carlos, but Friday is his day off so we'll get to meet him then!
Wednesday: We had an amazing lesson with Judy, talked about Baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, Priesthood authority, and how somoene receives the Preisthood. She liked the thought of it, said she'll ponder and pray about it!!!!! Then we drove to Oxnard, picked up our new RAV 4, then set up a visit with our friend Vicki!
Thursday: A day that was full of meetings and studies... We had distrcit council on Thursday becuase interviews on Tuesday and conflicts on Wednesday, then a mission zoom about humility and how that can help us in misisonary work. Helped an older lady with some small chores, then had a great visit with the Maddox family!
Friday: Had a fun zoom visit with a recent convert Natisse, then a great lesson with Vicki! Talked to some really great people, who just weren't interested in growing their faith in Jesus Christ.
Satruday: Had the oportunity to attend the Lamb of God perormance. Which is an orchestra and choir that portray the last 3 days of Christ's life and His resurrection through music. It was amazing, I love the way that music invites the spirit! We had Vivki there with some fellowship and she loved it!! Then I got to call my brother Trevor for his birthday!
Sunday: There were great talks on keeping the commandments and the blessigs that come when we do! Elders quorum was all about covenants; the symbolism, promise that we make, and the blessings God promises us!
I stumbled upon this quote this week and thought I would share it, "We are taught many small and simple things in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to be reminded that in total and over a significant period of time, those seemingly small things bring to pass great things.” Jesus Christ Himself describes that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. We should all strive to keep the gospel simple—in our lives, in our families, in our classes and quorums, and in our wards and stakes."
