Experiences & Transfer News!

Wednesday: Last preparation day before transfers!!! We played tennis, it was really fun!!! Then we were able to visit Jade who said come back on Monday, then we had ward coordination which is always a good time! 

Thursday: Exchange day!! I was with Elder Brian up here in Paso and it was so fun!! We had a short visit with Barbara, shared a scripture with her and she said she was going to be at church, but didn't show up... then we had a really good conversation with Julian who is super cool, met his wife Mary, hopefully they come around!!! Then we had a great lesson with Mayra and met her husband Rafael! We gave them a Book of Mormon and Elder Tate will be stopping by them tomorrow to check up on them!! 

Friday: We met Josh who said he was down to go to YSA activities, hopefully he's been going! Then we knocked a lot of doors, didn't see any success, but that's alright! Then we had an amazing Thai dinner with the Walrods, and visited with them, then had a visit with the Zinns and their friend Don who participated well, and knows to much about the church to not be a member. 

Saturday: We helped set up a June Teenth celebration down in San Luis Obispo which was really fun. Then we attended a Catholic baptism of our friends kids, didn't quite get the chance to tell them why it's not needed... It was all in Spanish so I was lost the whole time. Then we had an awesome lesson with Missy, she really wants to be baptized, but when we tried to give her a specific day, she wasn't too sure... but very Spirit filled lesson! 

Sunday: Father's Day was awesome! I got to talk to my dad, which is always a good time! Church was great, we had 2 great talks about earthly fathers and how they are like our Father in Heaven! We had a great dinner with the McCauley family and they are so sweet and we got to meet Bro McCauleys non member mom! 

Monday: Last District Council was great! Talked a lot about Charity, how we obtain it, and how it helps us in missionary work especially with our friends! I had a great call with a friend from Facebook, so hopefully I'll be able to continue to meet with him! 

Tuesday: We had a fun service in San Miguel laying some bricks, it got pretty hot, which made it tough. Then we did a lot of stop by's, didn't have much luck. Had our lesson with Missy fall through, but she rescheduled for Thursday! 

I love this scripture from Alma, that talks about how God really does take care of us! 

Alma 31:38

"And the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ. Now this was according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in faith"

As long as we pray with faith, God will provide us with whatever we need! It may not be in the way we want it, or when we want it, but He will provide!! 

Found out that I am being transferred down to Thousand Oaks, being put in a trio, so we'll see how that goes! Hope you all have an amazing week, love you!!!
