Another week down and another month mark hit!!!!! Can't believe I've been a missionary for 11 months now, it has gone by way too fast!!!!! But this week was a good one!!!
Wednesday: As a district we played some soccer, and it felt weird playing again, but it was really fun! Then we drove down to Atascadero and played some basketball with other Elders from our zone!
Thursday: I had an exchange with Elder Pope. We drove over to Morro Bay, helped some Elders over there with service project, and then came back and had a lesson with Isabella!! We had our apartment inspections, and then had the opportunity to do some service at the local homeless shelter! Started teaching Fred, who has an awesome mustache, and we're looking forward to teaching him more!
Friday: Did some service up in San Miguel, had a good time with that, helped out at a fundraiser for the SLO food bank, tracted quite a bit, and didn't see much happen...
Saturday: Called a friend from social media. He lives in Zambia and loves the Book of Mormon, but it's sad because there's no missionaries in his area... I was on an exchange with Elder George, we drove out to Shandon, got in contact with one of our friends named Rylee, hopefully things start picking up with him!
Sunday: Got invited to a non-members birthday party, ate a good lunch to break the fast!!! That night we had a great member dinner with the Ivie family. We got a new bishopric so that was a cool change to see!
Monday: Still weird that it wasn't preparation day, but it was a good day! Went to Zone Cenference, had an amazing time there! It was really focused on finding joy in the gospel, and helping others realize they can feel the same joy! We also talked a lot about what the difference between having a testimony and being converted is, which was a fun discussion to have!!!
Tuesday: Talked with Moses some more(Social media friend), had a couple lessons fall through, but we were able to set up appointments with the Gazardo family again, as well as Carlos and Susan, so hopefully those will go through this week!!
Love this quote that was shared at zone conference: "Knowing by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ is important and necessary. But earnestly coming unto Him and giving our whole souls as an offering requires much more than merely knowing. Conversion requires all of our heart, all of our might, and all of our mind and strength" I love you all and invite you to find ways you can more give your whole souls to Jesus Christ, it will truly bless you, and help you find more joy!!!
