: Temple, Zone Conference, Emergency Transfer...

What's up friends and family!!! I hope you all had an awesome week, mine was full of craziness!!!

Monday we played pickleball as a district and it was fun! We stopped by a ton of our friends, but only one of them was home and we gave them their "comic book" which is the Book of Mormon stories for children and they are loving it!!

Tuesday was great! District council was focused on the importance of seeking Christ's words and the power that comes as we do that! As we seek to obtain the words that gives the Holy Ghost an opportunity to brings things to our rememberance when we need them! Then I was on an exchange with Elder Brian in my area! We had a good comp study with a recent convert and talked about Patriarchal blessings! Had a good phone call with our friend Lily and her friend Emma. Our Book of Mormon class was well attended!!!

Wednesday we had an awesome lesson with our friend Ozzy and set up a church tour with him!! We also had an awesome lesson with our friend Micheal and a return missionary from our ward and that went really well!! Then we had to take a drive to Camarillo to drop Elder Hoschouer off so that he could ride down to the temple in a different van.

Thursday we went to the Temple!!!! It was so amazing, I love the Los Angeles temple, it is awesome! After we went through the temple we got to spend some time in the visitors center and President Rodriguez talked about how temple work and missionary work are not 2 works. Missionary work prepares people for the temple and as new converts attend the temple and do family history more names become available and more work is able to be done!! I then got to do another baptismal interview for a lady named Stephanie who is so amazing and has a strong testimony! Then we had an awesome lesson with our friend Cori and her sister Cindney!

Friday was zone conference and it was amazing! Sister Rodriguez talked about the importance of studying the scriptures, the assistants talked about the different ways we can work with members, and President Rodriguez talked about true conversion and how a testimony is a starting point, but we need to become converted! As well as help others as well by giving them the right tools to become converted themselves.

Saturday we had to drop Elder Hoschouer off with Elder Cutler becuase Elder Glazener needed to go home due to health problems. So our trio is back to a duo... Saturday was also walk day and we WALKED a ton!!! It was worth it, we were able to send 2 people to the Spanish missionaries and found 3 for oursleves! One of them being LaMerra who is super cool and wants to learn a lot. We also met a different Micheal who lit up when we told him we have The Book of Mormon that talks more about Jesus Christ!!

Sunday I gave a talk in church and that seemed to go pretty good! Squeezed in a little bit about fathers day and my dads famous saying he would tell me when I left the house, "Learn something". Then we had a busy afternoon full of studying, dinner with the Bystroms, planning our week, and a mission zoom. On the mission zoom we studied Peter and his conversion. He had a testimony early on, but it wasn't until Peter was asked 3 times by the Savior if he love Him that he was converted.

“I plead with you to take charge of your testimony. Work for it. Own it. Care for it. Nurture it so that it will grow. … “[Then] watch for miracles to happen in your life.” - President Nelson May 2022 Young Adult Conference

It's truly amazing the way our Father in Heaven works with us as we have a desire to grow our testimonies and the experiences we are gifted with! I hope you all take time this week to strengthen your testimony and grow closer to God!!

Hope you all had a great week, love you all, talk to you soon!!!!
