Week 33

Monday 06/13/2016 

In the morning we did our shopping and other tasks that needed completed. After we were done with that we did some work at the pinnacle computer lab. We grabbed some lunch then went over to zone activity. There was not a lot of people since it was transfer day. We played around for a while, then got ready for dinner. Our dinner was with the Bird's, they got pizza. We saw Tamara and setup her baptismal program with her. She described the feeling like waiting for Christmas. After Tamara we did some quick shopping then headed back. 

Tuesday 

We visited Van, we shared a brief restoration with him. His biggest concern is that he is a founding father of a local Methodist church. We are hoping to see if he will keep the commitments we extend. We taught the Else's the restoration. They are pretty set in their ways and don't want to change. We want to keep working with them to see if they will begin to progress. We went and helped the Acacia park move back to the Fullerton area. When we were done helping them move we had dinner with the Bailey family. They made a great dinner, after we talked about member missionary work. The Bailey's already had a plan and everything. We met Tamara and Sister Douglass at the church then walked through the baptism with her. We met the Douglass's back at their apartment. Then we went over to see a family and we gave the father a blessing with Brother Douglass. The father has cancer on one of his arteries. We talked to them for a while then we left. We called it a night after that point. 

Wednesday

After our studies we went to do service at Stop Hunger Now. While we were there we staged pallets for events that they put on. We grabbed some lunch from Wendy's. After we finished the service we stopped by Joe's ice on the way back up. We met at the church and caught Brother Northgrave up on everything. He spent two weeks in Panama. We got dressed in our proselyting clothes and met with Tamara. We had a dinner with Brother Capaloto after Tamara. Brother Capaloto brought us to the Olive Pit, which is probably one of my favorite places in the Fullerton area. We can't afford to eat there as missionaries though. After dinner it was time to get back to the apartment. 

Thursday 

We had district meeting in the morning. We talked about bringing our wards up to date technologically. After we did a grab then gather for lunch. After we were finished we went to Tamara's. Brother Northgrave came with us and Tamara made us dinner. Our lesson was on enduring to the end. We helped her understand what goes on after she is baptized. We did some iPad things at a church building and went back to the apartment. 

Friday 

We had weekly planning for most of the day. When we went out we tried to see a few people, no one was home. We had dinner with the Nuttle's, that was awesome as always. We saw some less actives and setup an appointment. We stopped by Tamara and got her ready for her baptism. She is so excited and thankful for the gospel. We were not able to get in contact with anyone before the end of the night. 

Saturday 

I had a doctors appointment in the morning. After the appointment we grabbed some Joe's ice on the way back up to Fullerton. We ate some lunch and headed over to the church for Tamara's baptism. We met with Brother Northgrave and made the final preparations for the baptism. The baptism didn't go as planned, but we were still able to make it a great spiritual experience. After we called it a night. 

Sunday 

We confirmed Tamara is sacrament meeting. Her kids pediatrician from over thirty years ago was able to make it. It is cool to see how such a huge impact he had on her life. She has finally been able to find what she has been looking for. He probably didn't realize what the end result would be. After church we grabbed lunch and stopped by to see the Rigby family. We dropped our laundry off and finished the night.
