Week 29

Elder Caleb Bailey and his new Comp Elder Hamby

Monday 5/16/2016 

We headed to the pinnacle after studies while driving there received a ticket for an unsafe turn. So that is fun I got my first ticket on my mission. We went to the computer lab at the pinnacle to work on some music things. We picked up our laundry, then went bowling with the zone leaders and Sunny Hills. I was the all time champion of the two frames we played, I didn't know I was that good at bowling. After bowling we had lunch at Wendy's. We went to pday activity a lot of people were not there they switched up a bunch of apartments without extended notice. We saw the Weske family, we taught about the importance of the spirit and the Book of Mormon. Tracy doesn't seem interested in finding out an answer to if the Book of Mormon is true. We will continue to help them grow in their faith. After our lesson we changed and headed over and helped with the moving madness. The zone leaders and Acacia park got moved out, they put sisters in to replace them. Getting our laundry done without having to pay has become more complicated, but we will figure something out. 

Tuesday 

We went out and saw Sister Henry. When we got there she was having some banking problems, so we gave her some resources to help figure out her problem. We did some district finding, we weren't able to find anyone. We saw Robert and setup another appointment with him. We setup an appointment with Tamara also. We went and got hair cuts at a members house in the Sunny Hills ward. After our haircuts we had dinner at the Birds house. Brother Bird made some good Tri-tip. We had an appointment with Jerom so we taught him the restoration. He had some trouble recovering it so we will continue to work with him. 

Wednesday 

We had zone conference for most of the day. It was awesome to get some great insights on improving. During the conference Elder Groover (The housing coordinator) got one of our keys to the apartment, he told us they were putting a second fridge in our apartment. The irony is that we were just told that we shouldn't have extra things in our apartment for example an extra fridge. We went to the mission office after the conference. Elder Anderson the vehicle coordinator needed us to drop him off to pickup a car so we did. We went to Joe's then headed back to Fullerton. We had dinner at the Jorgensen's the Churchwell's were also there. We came back and there was a fridge sitting in the middle of our apartment. We did some cleaning for apartment inspections. We saw the Hozner's so we setup for Sunday. 

Thursday 

In the morning we went and helped pack a Sister Broadwater's house. We came back to the apartment and had lunch. We went and saw Sister Merilez and talked about prayer then gave her a blessing. We did some work at the church for a little bit. Dinner was with the Smith family, we went to Ginza a Japanese restaurant. I tried quite a few new things while there. We went back and picked up our phone since we forgot it at the apartment. We tried to see some less actives at the end  of the night. 

 Friday 

In the morning I went with Elder Russell to a lesson while Elder Nelson stayed with Elder Hamby. Elder Nelson has been sick for almost two weeks now. When we exchanged back we went to vantage point for a little while. Then we started weekly planning. We had to cut weekly planning short then go to dinner. We had dinner at he Jernigan's. We saw Todd checked up on how he is doing. Tamara wasn't home when we tried to see her. Then we called it a night. 

Saturday 

We finished weekly planning. We went and exchanged with Acacia Park again. I went with Elder Russell to the temple grounds tour. We grabbed some Joe's on the way back, we saw the pizza planet truck from toy story while there. We had California pizza kitchen for dinner with a member. Then exchanged back.

  

Sunday 

In the morning we had ward council. In gospel principles we heard some mission stories. In Elders quorum we played a primary game to start the lesson, but it was able to be linked in to the lesson. We had lunch back at the apartment. Dinner was with the Todd's. Then we tried the Hozner's. We started our laundry at the La Habra South apartment. 

The hectic moving Monday night.
