In the morning we went mountain biking with Elder Hugie and he stayed with us for the rest of the day. I rode until the bike that I was using got a flat tire. We grabbed brunch at I Hop. We did some emailing then looked at some shops. We headed to pday activity, but not many people showed up. All of the Elders that were at the church went to the A6 apartment and played some board games. We all went back to the church and played some chair soccer. We had dinner with Brother Mcafee, he made us dipped roast beef sandwiches. After dinner we had family home evening with him and his kids. We watched a video on Alma and the Zoramites. That ended our night.
Tuesday
After studies we did some finding before lunch no one was interested. After lunch we went down to Orange for a chiropractic appointment for Elder Rubio. After his appointment we stopped by to see Elder Thomas and Mahe. We got stuck in traffic on the way back to Placentia for dinner. We were able to see the smoke from wild fires over the mountains. We got to dinner late unfortunately. Elder Rubio forgot his iPad at the members house. The sisters grabbed the iPad and dropped it off to us. We got a quick car wash to get ready for zone conference, then headed to the apartment.
Wednesday
In the morning we drove right over to the church building for zone conference. Elder Julio C. Acosta of the area seventy was able to attend only one of the conferences so we were pretty lucky. We had a lot of training on the Book of Mormon and using it to teach people. After zone training we got ready for dinner then we had dinner with Warners. After we did some finding. We were able to meet Leo a less active and his girlfriend has interest in learning. We also met Memo and talked about the Book of Mormon and invited him to church. We got a return appointment to see the Felicionos before the end of the night.
Thursday
In the morning after studies we went to Tustin and met with most of the zone at Buffalo Wild Wings. We met there to celebrate Elder Sami's birthday. After lunch we had service at the nursing home for a while. We had dinner with the Remington's, Hawaiian haystacks. After dinner it was time to head back in Elder Rubio might be coming down with something so we will see.
Friday
After studies we had the zone leaders over and I made lunch. After lunch we did our weekly planning we have a lot of people to meet and see this coming week. We went to grandma's house a member in YL5. Grandma made pies and she is from the Dayton Ohio area Union to be specific. We were there for a while, got to check out all of their animals and such. We met the sisters at the Fischers to grab dinner. We ate at the YL5 apartment. We went and saw EJ a less active in the ward, we got to see were he is at from the last time missionaries saw him. That was what end of our night.
Saturday
In the morning after studies we met with the zone leaders at the computer lab for stake reports. We had a quick lunch then headed to a lesson. We met with Brother Pepper a 90 year old member. We also met his great granddaughter and she is interested in hearing the lessons. After that we went down to Anaheim for a birthday party of a member in one of Elder Rubio's previous wards. We got back to Placentia and grabbed our dinner. We were not able to get back out Elder Rubio had to rest.
Sunday
In the morning we went to sacrament meeting and stayed to watch sister Moon's talk. We left early with the sisters to head to Anaheim for a meeting with Elder Dallin H. Oaks, of the twelve. We got there pretty early then all of the missionaries started coming into the building. The meeting started when he arrived and shook all of our hands. Elder Oaks was accompanied by Elder Joaquin E. Costa of the seventy. Elder Costa spoke about his conversion and he was pretty entertaining. He was able to get quite a few laughs during his portion. Elder Oaks came with no prepared remarks and followed the spirit when he spoke. We were taught about not assuming and not skipping important steps in teaching. He also wanted to include commitments and how important they are to progress. He had a great sense of humor. It was even cooler that he is currently in charge of the missionary department. He had to cut his remarks short so he didn't miss his flight, then he was gone. After we went back to the apartment and ate a small lunch before dinner. We did some finding, after dinner we were able to meet Max while walking down a street. We are planning on seeing him next Sunday.
