Week 32

Final zone picture for the transfer

Monday 6/6/2016 

We went to the lab early in the morning to work on music. When we were done with the lab we did some shopping. Then headed over to the church building for a nerf war, we ended up not having one. After the activity we had a lesson with Tamara, we read the Book of Mormon with her. We answered her questions that she had for us. We went to La Labrador to pickup our laundry. We went back to the apartment, then ended the night. 

Tuesday 

We exchanged in the morning and I stayed in the area with  Elder Durney. We did finding of less actives and potential investigators for most of the day. The Mikols came to a lesson with us at the Else family's house. We were not able to teach a whole lot about the restoration, but it was a productive visit. After our lesson we had dinner with the Mikols. We had to cut dinner short to get to Tamara's. The Jernigans came to our lesson and we taught her about missionary work. She has been doing a great job of inviting everyone to her baptism. She truly is fearless in sharing the gospel. After our appointment we tried to see a few people then exchanged back. 

Wednesday 

We went district meeting in the morning. We grabbed Jack In the box for lunch. We went back to the apartment and Elder Hamby rested since he was sick. We went to our daily lesson with Tamara, President Williams came. We talked about the Ten Commandments with her. After our lesson with Tamara we headed back and exchanged with the Zone leaders. I stayed in the area with Elder Haynie. 

Thursday

After studies we tried visiting a few people, no one seemed to be home. I made lunch at the apartment. We had service at Mary's kitchen which was fun as always. After Mary's we stopped by Joe's on our way back. We saw this guy, but he was busy so he told us to try to catch him next week. We tried visiting a few more people, but we were not having luck. We had dinner with the Davis family. We had Mexican corn, it is covered in mayonnaise and chili powder not bad. After dinner Tamara pushed back her appointment twice so we couldn't meet with her. We saw Liza and she wanted us to try to stop by next week. We walked back to the apartment then exchanged back. 

Friday 

In the morning we went to Brother Canon's. We spent a while there with Sunny Hills. After Brother Canon we went down to the mission office to drop off some stuff. On our way back up to Fullerton we stopped by Joe's. We had a lesson with Tamara after dinner. We stopped by and saw the Ried family. We talked about member missionary work. 

Saturday

We weekly planned in the morning. We went to a wedding. The wedding was for two returned missionaries that met while serving in the mission. Elder Hamby was companions with the returned Elder.  After we left the wedding we had a lesson with Tamara. We taught her about family history, Brother Heiney helped get her started. The district came over to our apartment for transfer calls. We will be staying together for another transfer. I'm excited for our continued adventure. 

Sunday 

In the morning we had PEC and Ward council. The ward has made a lot of progress since I arrived in January. Tamara came to church. We got surprised after sacrament, no one had a lesson for gospel principles. We taught the lesson on the Atonement. We helped the Spanish elders setup for their baptism. Everyone calls us when they need access to things in the building. We grabbed a quick lunch and exchanged with the La Habra Elders. Elder Hamby went to Garden Grove for a baptism with Elder Durant. I stayed and went to dinner with Elder Dube. We had dinner with the Purrington's. After dinner we headed over to the church for a stake priesthood meeting. They talked about home teaching and the importance. Home teaching has a great effect it is more than just visiting some families once a month. They also talked about family history work. There was a demonstration where they setup a real account, then had a name to be printed all in less than 15 minutes. Elder Durney interviewed Tamara for baptism and she is ready. We exchanged back and picked up dessert from the Purrington's.
