Week 5

Monday 11/30/15
P day
Woke up did laundry
Went to Starbucks to start email
Did our shopping (I bought some sweaters because it gets cold here at night)
Then went to rugby
Had lunch at jack in the box (We got a coupon from a member for two free tacos)
Did some stuff at the apartment, like cleaning
Went to zone activity (We played wall ball and volley ball. I also worked on my music so we can have it in our car.)
Went to dinner, a member bought us subway.
Did some tracking and sharing of the A Savior is born video
-We found this funny Asian guy that was very loud and happy. We will probably try to see him again.
We finished the night at the church mapping out the ward on our iPads.
Then went back to the apartment and set up our tree a little bit.

Tuesday
Did service at a members house with the sisters. We hung Christmas lights and decorations. Member got us subway for lunch. We went to iPad training but there was no iPad training. We taught our gold referral again with a member. He is still ready for baptism. We ended the night tracking and showing members the A Savior is born video.

Wednesday
Got a call during companion study to go help at a blood drive. We got there to find out the blood drive is not till Friday. We then went to English class later. After we had lunch we went to see some members and share the A Savior is born video. Then we went to see a potential investigator said she would go to church on Sunday. We are hoping she will come to church. When we got to the car we had a voicemail telling us to call back for a dinner appointment. We went to hometown buffet . That was cool since it has been a few days since we had a dinner. After dinner we went to the church to set up the gym for a wedding. 

Thursday
Had zone meeting today our topic was being more Christlike. It was great, something that was good was don't stay in your comfort zone. That is a place the adversary would want you. We went to lunch at a place called pizza theory, not that great. We went to help a member set up at the church for a police party. We then went to dinner and had Mexican food. We ended the night with one of the priests finding and tracking.

Friday 
Woke up and exchanged with other district leaders companion, Elder Boman. The district leaders and the zone leaders went to a meeting with Elder Dube of the seventy. So we had to exchange in the morning so I could make my appointment. So we went to the address we had but wrong address it was a few miles off. We eventually found it we were a half hour late. The cardiologist said every thing looks good. We then went back and needed to change into proselyting clothes but Elder Bomans comp had the only key. So after a trip to the mission office and getting a wrong key we got through a unlocked window. So we visited some people and met back up with our comps. My comp and I went to the church to go to the police Christmas party. While we were there we got Charles Jr. Since that is who was catering. We then joined English class. After that we did our district exchanges and I'm with Elder Pruitt.  I also experienced tiw today I had to drive since Elder Boman can't. Tiwi is a driving monitor essentially and it can be a pretty big pain. I got three check your speeds and two aggressive driving warnings.

Saturday 
Woke up did "service" by helping setup for wedding reception. Had our most progressing investigator attend a baptism. Also saw Mason a 12 year old investor and told we have a ride for him on Sunday. Then we met up with the zone leaders to get a pass off investigator. They were not home so we will setup another time. We then went to the wedding reception for dinner, everyone in our district was there except the sisters. We finished the night by visiting a less active family which was interesting. We then exchanged back to our companions. 

Sunday
Today we went church and our investigator Rocky, which we have on date came. The members really took him in and helped him. When church was over he went with the priests to go collect fast offerings. He then came to watch the Christmas devotional. We still can't believe how willing he is to do the right things. Mason also came to church and the members took care of him also. Finally the less active member we taught on Saturday night came which we did not think would happen at all. It was a good Sunday for people to come to church. Had a great testimony meeting.

Monday 
It was mission tour and Elder Dube of the seventy was there. He really has a great sense of humor. He taught about how to be a better disciple of Christ. One major thing they really emboldened was, waking up on time. That seems to be a issue in the mission. One other great thing he said was we have everything we need to succeed. After the meeting we had study time. We then went out did some tracting and showed a member A Savior is born. 

We found a toilet and took some pictures.

 Mission Conference with Elder Dube and his wife. Caleb is in the Third row back second in on the left when looking at the picture. 
                     Caleb being Caleb!
                His companion.
