Thursday: Helped our friend Joe out some more with yard work, beat the heat so it wasn't too bad! Then we were able to get a hold of some less active members, got in their home for a minute too cool off, but that's about all lol. Met some nice people at the park, but they weren't too interested in hearing about Jesus Christ... Met with the Kavanah family, big pickleball players, and invited us over in 2ish weeks to play some pickleball on a preparation day! Then we met with Bro Lundquist who has an amazing conversion story and a very strong testimony! Then met with the Schimmers, a super cute young family who's kids were in Fuller House as the babies about 4 years ago(Basically celebrities).
Friday: ZONE CONFERENCE! Getting together with all the missionaries was way fun! We talked a lot about the power that the Book of Mormon has and the best way that we can utilize it! As well as why we need to not only rely on the Spirit, but also seek for it and recognize the promptings that it gives to us! We got back from that meeting just in time to have a lesson with Brighton and Brizeida! Two recent members of our church, and they have the sweetest testimonies!
Saturday:Went on a little half day exchange, so in the mornings we got our studies done, fixed a bike tire, so that Elder Starkey could bike! Then we swapped for the day and went straight to a lesson with Sujey. One of our downstairs neighbors. She said she was just thinking about learning more about God again, then she got our text! I don't know about you, but that's no coincidence. She is very open and willing to learn, I can't wait to continue to teach her and learn from her as well! Biked for the rest of the night, tried to stop and talk to people and they would ingnore... But it was a really good time!
Sunday: Not a whole lot happened... Had a great 5th Sunday lesson that we helped teach on Love, Share, and Invite that went pretty well! We knocked a lot of doors, but no one was wanting to open up. So we stopped by Brother Phillips, an awesome member of our ward with a strong testimony, loved hearing his stories!
Monday: District Council was really awesome! We talked about the power and importance of covenants, starting with the baptismal one that we get to renew each week. Then we focused a lot on the Law of Consecration that we promise to give our all to God in whatever we may be doing! Then we planned for a lot of our friends and set up a couple visits. then we met Luis, gave him Book of Mormon, he seems really down to learn! Also ran into Amelio who wants to learn more about the Plan of Salvation!!!
Tuesday: MLC was great, planned a lot for the mission. Had an awesome service, handing out food to those in need, seeing smiles on their faces, and the joy of receiving things was great!!
Read this great quote this week:
"The teachings of the living prophets and apostles provide an anchor of eternal truth in a world of shifting values. As we follow God’s prophets, the confusion and strife of the world will not overwhelm us"
Prophets past and present can guide and direct us all, they have directed me, and I know they'll direct all of you in such a crazy world!!!
Sorry this email is enormous, but it was just that good of a week 🙂
