Wednesday: Super fun preparation day! With one district we played lava monster at a park, which was super fun! Then with the other district we played pickleball, I crushed some people in Spikeball as well, and then we played some indoor soccer that was really fun!! That night we did a lot of stop by's and just checked up everyone!
Thursday: There was a great mission zoom about how to prepare our friends for baptism and the importance of bringing it up right away. Helping our friends see that baptism is the first step, on an amazing path back to our Heavenly Father! We went to a couple of parks, met Abaji, who was super cool and down to learn about the restoration! Then we met Michelle and talked to her about the Plan of Salvation, the blessings that it can bring to her and her family, and she just wanted pamphlet, but she was awesome!
Friday: We were able to go on an exchange with Campus Canyon, I was with Elder Coverly for the day, and it was great! We did some service, gotta love yard work. Then we had an awesome lesson with our friend Gary on the Book of Mormon has power! We read the introduction with him and I learned so much, Gary learned a lot and it definitley helped him gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon and it was awesome to see him jump into the testimonies and enjoy them as well! The rest of the exchange was great. We met the Hoffmans and had a lesson with Jaime that went well!!
Saturday: Went on an exchange with Elder Larsen in Thousand Oaks, and it was really fun! Met a super nice lady named Maricela, she was so nice, and is looking forward to making small steps to come unto Christ! We stopped by a lot of their friends, and then we went to the Vicks home and had a dinner with a beach view! I learned a lot from Elder Larsen and enjoyed the day!!
Sunday: Went to another church, that was interesting, but our sacrament was awesome! We had great talks about trusting Jesus Christ and letting Him take take our burdens and trusting Him! One of my favorite quotes from the talk is:
"Let the lord be the author of our story, don't try to write out ourselves" Which I love!!
Monday: Great district council on Christlike attributes, talked a lot about Faith and hope and how we can have those things in this life!! We also had a great dinner with the Akina's home!
Tuesday: Exchange with the Arroyo Vista Elders! I was with Elder Pickrell, and we had a great day! Stopped by their friends, went to Foodshare(passing out food) and then had an amazing dinner with the Seagull's! Then we helped Camilla, Kevin, and Edwardo move! They invited us over in 2 weeks for dinner!!!
Love this quote from Preach My Gospel:
"Through exercising faith in Christ, you can find peace and reassurance about your efforts. Faith will help you press forward and continue in righteous desires" I love how far faith can take us, and how powerful it is! Hope you all continue to have faith in Christ and trust Him always!
Great week, went by really quick, hope you all have an awesome week!!!
