Monday: Last district activity of the transfer we went to a park ate some pizza, and played some sand volleyball which was super fun! That night me and Elder Novac had our last visit together with Bishop Johnson's family!!! Also found out I was being transfered all the way up north to Paso Robles.
Tuesday: I had quite the busy day. Woke up at 6:00am to get to the Newbury building, went to the mission office, got to see Elder Jackson(MTC companion)!!! Then drove with Elder Horne (Stud Spanish missionary) all the way up to Goleta, got to see some old friends there as well, then squished in the back seat of a truck and drove for an hour and a half to Santa Maria, got to see Elder Cosentino (My trainer), Elder Anderson (dope companion) then drove all the way up to Paso Robles! Super fun day, it was a beautiful drive, God's creations are amazing!!
Wednesday: Me and Elder Clawson drove down to Arroyo Grande for a doctor's appointment that went well! We got back and had an amazing call with our friend Bunny, she us a super sweet old lady who has so many questions so we're going over tomorrow for a lesson with her!! Went and tried to get to know some of the other friends they had been teaching, but weren't able to talk to them...
Thursday: The whole zone helped unload an entire Semi-truck full of food from Salt Lake. It was so hot, there was so much food, and it was so fun!! Plus some of my district was on the local news!!! Then we had more service at the ECHO homeless shelter. It was amazing to see people so happy to have a meal and have them leave with a smile on their face!
Friday: Helped a local legend (missionary known) Cowboy Larry. We fixed his fence and helped with some smaller jobs! Then we went and helped the Atascadero Elders (Pickrell and Brian). We helped a lady move into a house and they fed us lunch! We took a drive out to the middle of nowhere, met a couple of less active members, and set up a time to go share something with one of them and do service for another!!!
Saturday: Had the first District Council of the transfer, it went super well! We talked about the importance of the restoration of the gospel and how to share it! Then me and Elder Clawson went and pulled weeds in a ladies front yard. Then as we were driving home, saw another lady pulling weeds, so we pulled over asked if she needed help, she asked how much we charged, when we said free she said, "Are you Latter-day Saints"? Of course we said yes, helped her out, and she wants to learn more about the Plan of Salvation!
Sunday: Our Easter service was amazing! Had a couple really good speakers and a nice musical number by the primary! Then we walked around and talked to those who were out, spent some time in Downtown Park and met some cool people!!
It was amazing to remember the Savior’s resurrection and the gift that it is to us all!! I encourage you all to listen to "The Greatest Easter Story Ever Told" by Gary E Stevenson and recognize what a blessing the knowledge of the Atonement that we have is!!
