Exchanges & Adventures

Monday Monday Monday: Super fun day!! We played ultimate frisbee as a district, then some football! They both were way fun. That night we visited Carlos and Susan. They have the cutest famlily and hopefully once they get through this tough time they can start being taught, so pray for them!!! Then we went and did some service! 

Tricky Tuesday: District council was amazing! We talked about how to extend committments as well as how to keep our friends accountable and keeping ourselves accountable for our goals! Then we built a chicken coop for the Branch President with Hermana Jerman and Hermana Wheatley which was was fun!! Then we went and helped Cowboy Larry with some things around his ranch! Then we talked to Brother Wiley, who hasn't been to church a long time, talked to him and his wife, got to know them, and hopefully they'll come back to church soon! 

Welp it's Wednesday: Went and finished the chicken coop, then came back into town and got to work! Stopped by a lot of people with previous contacts, one of them said they would be at church and wasn't... Then we had a really productive meeting with our ward mission leader!! 

Thrive Thursday: I went down into the Atascadero area with Elder Brian! It was way fun to do some service for a lady in their area, and talking to some really cool people who weren't really interested, but we had good converstations with them!! Then we had dinner with the Johnsons and they are amazing!!! We had good enchiladas and then "The Tonight Dough" ice cream from Ben & Jerry's!!! Our message with their family was about President Nelson's talk about becoming peacemakers and it was way cool to talk about the impact peace makes!!

Flying Friday: Did quite a bit of service, but it was really fun and I love to see the smile on peoples face when we do service for them!! We had an amazing lesson with the Chavez family that we are teaching! They loved church the last two weeks and asked us to come back, we didn't have to ask for our next appointment!! Then we had an awesome door step lesson with Jose! We taught the restoration and it was so good, he loved it!! 

S.L.O Saturday: I got to be with my old companion Elder Anderson for the day! He came up from S.L.O(San Luis Obispo) and we had a crazy busy day!! Had service then went to another service, then went out to Lake Nacimiento and had dinner with the Ta'ala family which was really good! Then we just about got attacked by a dog... Then we set up a time to meet with a referral and a less active member!!! 

Super Sunday: I woke up early and made some Jalepeño poppers for our linger longer after church. We had the Chavez family come to chuch as well as Isabella, the sweetest little girl that we are teachig!! Then had the linger longer which was really good!! Then we had dinner at the Butterfields house and then went park contacting, talked to some cool people, but they didn't want to hear our message... 

Love this quote and was a great reminder to me that prayers are answered in God’s time not ours!!! "God loves you. He hears your prayers. He speaks to His children and offers comfort, peace, and understanding to those who seek Him and honor Him by walking in His way"

Sorry for the funny names for the days, thought I would try it... Hope you have a good week, love you all and remember God loves you too!!!!
