We woke up did our laundry. Then went shopping. After we went to Downtown Disney. After Downtown Disney we went to subway then zone activity. It is nice to have new people in the zone that want to do something. So we played chair soccer for quiet a while. After zone activity we went back to the apartment to have dinner. We also finished a 3-D puzzle I bought a Downtown Disney.

Tuesday 

Rained most of the day 

Studies- During studies we got a call for a member in the ward Brother Charl. We were going to do service for him but he had to go to the emergency room. So after studies we went over and gave him a blessing. After we went back to the apartment to set up nightly meetings we are going to have with the members. We called a ton of people but most of the phone numbers didn't work. So we decided we will have to go member hunting. We visited a 97 year old lady that has 24 hour care. It was interesting she had dementia. She kept telling us that her care caretaker would be a better member. We did some finding for the rest of the day.

We tried to visit people that Elder Purnell saw while he was on exchanges with Elder Thomas. We got a phone call from our old ward mission leader and took us to dinner a Marie Calendars. After dinner we went back to the apartment so Elder Purnell could change his shoes. His shoes were soaked. We finished the night with a lesson with Rocky at the bishop's house.

Thursday 

We have zone training in the morning. We learned out of the learning to use time wisely section of preach my gospel. It is cool to see how planning can better effect our missionary purpose. As we plan we are better able to achieve our goals. After the district meeting went to lunch at a Mexican place it was pretty good. We then tried to meet this potential, Vincent but he is out of town. We met his cousin Stephanie she started reading the bible that day. She said it is kind of like a blessing for us to show up. We also taught a kid that the Viet Elders passed to us. Our ward mission leader was going to have us for dinner but his wife was sick. So he gave us gifts cards to go to subway. We met the sisters at subway and had dinner. After we tried to see members in the directory. We met with a less active sister in the ward that is working really well on her family history.
