Week 23

Monday 4/4/2016 

We went on a hike at vantage pointe in the morning. There was quite a bit of interesting stuff to say the least. There was abandoned shacks and water towers and various other miscellaneous things. I walked through a bunch of honey bee hives, the bees were everywhere and swarming me and Elder Durney. After the hike we went to Wendy's and grabbed some lunch. We got ready for P-day activity and went to the church building. They weren't really doing anything so Acacia Park came with us to the institute and we picked up some food. We went back to the apartment and walked over to the Jernigan's complex which is right next door for dinner. After dinner we exchanged with the zone leaders. I went with Elder Henderson to the YSA area. 

Tuesday 

After we left the apartment in the morning we stopped by the church building and picked up the STL's car report. We headed to the mission office dropped off the car report and picked up some mail. We had lunch at Wendy's. We went to the Cal State institute and met up with the Placentia zone leaders. Elder Thomas my MTC companion was on exchanges with the Placentia zone leaders, that was cool to see how he was doing. We did tabling on the campus, that is were we talk to them when they walk past us. We were able to get some solid contacts. We met up with one of their investigators at the Fullerton institute. He taught us the Plan of Salvation and he has a great knowledge of the gospel. We picked up dinner from a member in the ward, Chinese food. After dinner we tried to see some people they are teaching, but they weren't home. We went to Joe's ice. After Joe's we tried to see a former passed to them. We met Diego he races pigeons. It was funny because we thought he said raise, but he meant race. We taught him the Restoration and he received it well. We picked up my stuff and went back to the Euclid apartment and exchanged back.   

Wednesday 

District meeting in the morning, we have Acacia Park a ride. After district meeting we took the zone leaders with us to Charles Jr and brought it back to the church. We went out and tried to visit less actives and do some finding. We had dinner back at the apartment. We went out again and worked on our prospective elders list. We came back to the apartment and then exchanged with North Hills. I went with Elder Lindsey to the North Hills area. 

Thursday 

After our studies we went out on a list of potentials, no one seemed to be home. We visited a house and the women answered the door she said the lady we were looking for was dead. We had lunch back at the North Hills apartment. We went out again to see more people, but we had no luck of people answering the door. All of the scheduled appointments canceled. We had dinner at one of their members, we had Costco pizza.  We went to Book of Mormon class after dinner. We called it a night after and exchanged back. 

Friday

After our studies and lunch we went to Anaheim to meet a member to get some stuff notarized. We went to Joe's ice and did some street contacting. We had at the Mikols. We went to a lesson with the zone leaders. We mainly just answered her questions and concerns. We went to the pinnacle to do Elder Sparacino's laundry. 

Saturday 

We did some finding after our studies. We had lunch with Acacia Park. We went and helped Connie move her room around with Sister Mikols. We finished the night with weekly planning.  

Sunday 

Studied and went to church, Adam didn't come. We did some planning before dinner. We had dinner and a lesson with Todd at the Dean's place. The Deans made a Russian dinner which wasn't bad at all. We had more like two dinners with the Russian crepes they made for dessert. We went to Acacia park so I could start my laundry. Then called it a night. 

This week was kind of off two exchanges it also has been awfully rainy and dark.
