Serving in California has had some ups and downs. One of the
major ups right now was the fact that this past week it was mid 70's all week in
January. It was so beautiful. We are enjoying all the sun we have before we get
hit with a rainstorm this next weekend.
We had a zone conference this week. Our president reminded
us of the importance of
teaching from the scriptures instead of just throwing
in scriptures every once and a while in lessons. It has really helped us with
our teaching already. Our President is one inspired man.
This week we knocked on a potential's door, which is someone
missionaries have talked to in the past who said we could come back. Sure
enough, they weren't home. That happens a lot. I told my companion to pick one
house. We knocked on it and a lady answered and said she just moved here from
Illinois and is looking for a church to go to. We told her about ours, shared a
little bit of our message, talked about the youth programs for her son, and she
loved it! She wants to come, and she even said she wants to set up a ward choir
for us because she loves music! So we have an appointment tonight. Hopefully it
happens. That was a cool experience though! One of those textbook missionary
miracles.
I hit my 18 months mark 2 days ago. So crazy. It
has been such an amazing adventure. I have learned so much and grown more
than I ever thought possible. I love being a missionary.
Have a great week everyone. Love you all.
