Interviews and Exchanges Week

Another great week! Hope yours was amazing as well!! 

Wednesday: Watched Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration, love that movie, then went shopping and got all the little things done!! Then we met with Anthony, he's super cool, ready to learn, loves what repentance means, and we're meeting with him again! 

Thursday: I got to have Interviews with President Rodriguez, he is awesome! Got free lunch, then had a discussion as a group of missionaries with President Rodriguez and we talked a lot about the importance of finding the one. Having faith to find the one God had prepared in our area! Then we had a sports night here in Moorpark, had a few non-members come and had a good time! 

Friday: Exchange day!! I spent the day in Thousand Oaks! Found Andrew and Briana for them who are super nice and willing to learn! We also had a fun service package meals for the needy! I got to be on bikes, loved it, had a fun time crazing around! 

Saturday: Went garage sale contacting, met Fike. He's a Muslim who doesn't know a lot about the church, we taught him some things and he taught us some things. He's very nice, love talking to Him! Knocked a lot of doors, had our lesson fall through with Anthony, but we were able to hand out a couple pamphlets!! 

Sunday: Had a nice call with a friend from Nigeria about the Book of Mormon! Church was amazing, talked a lot about what it means to endure and the great pioneers who endured to get across the plains. The Hodges had us over for dinner and it was amazing, they are such a nice family!! We were able to get in contact with Isaiah and set up something for this weekend!! 

Monday: Another exchange! I was with Elder Wilber in my area. We met and talked to a lot of people that were very nice and said to come back, hopefully they all go through! We had dinner with the Lowry family, who have a couple people in mind for us to teach! Also had a great visit with the Satterwhite family, that Elder Wilber knew 2 years ago when her first came into the mission. 

Tuesday: Had a lot of studies to start out the morning, then we had a service passing out food. Then we had another great sit down with Fike, learned a lot about Muslims, he seems to be surprised and likes a lot of our beliefs, but probably won't go to far... Then we stopped by a lot of our dots and set up return appointments with Harrison, Pedro, and our friend Liz!! 

I love this quote from the new Preach My Gospel, "What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. And what we think and do determines who we are—and who we will become" This was a great reminder to keep in mind not only the missionary I want to become, but the person I want to become!! 

Hope you all have a fantastic week, love you all, keep enjoying a fun summer!!
