Week 72 Enter the Way

Monday 3/13/2017
It was a pretty typical P day we did some grocery shopping at Aldi and P day activity was sock soccer and gator ball. We did laundry and dropped off Elder Dodd/Sparto at the end of the night. We exchanged and I went to the A3 ward with Elder Sparto. 

Tuesday 

We got called to do Mary's in the morning. The zone leaders gave us a ride. After Mary's we went back and Elder Sparto felt sick. A member dropped off dinner and we exchanged back at the end of the night. 

Wednesday 

In the morning we went to the Fullerton/Placentia zone conference and helped the Westerguards with the cars. We inspected and checked fluids/tires. We had lunch then went back did some studies before dinner. We did some finding before we met to do a pass off but he wasn't home. 

Thursday 

We went out and started our day with some finding we met some good potentials to see later. We called and confirmed dinner. We then later found out she lived in Utah, we were a little confused on what happened that the number ended up in the dinner calendar. We stopped by and saw Braden. We setup a time to meet with and share the restoration with him. He is really friendly and open to listening. We had dinner at Cali Tacos. After dinner we tried to see if any people were home but no one seemed to be home. We did stop by to see Glenn and remind him about church and the ward activity. We ended the night by stopping at Joe's and we saw Elder Hugies Trainor.

Friday 

In the morning we had Zone conference. We focused a lot on the benefits and blessings of study journals also how to do them. We got introduced to the Easter initiative #Prince of Peace. We also focused on the power of the first vision. After we took Elder Dodds and Sparto to dinner and stopped by Joe's before our ward activity. They had a movie night and played the movie Moana. President Taggart cleared us to watch so that was cool. After Elder Hugie went back and packed for exchanges. I stayed in the area with Elder Richard.

'This is a picture Mom added for him, from Zone Conference. It was posted on his mission page.' 

Saturday 

We did a lot of finding for most of the day we were able to get some return apps for next week. After lunch we did district finding in the A2 sisters area we were able to meet Urea who was pretty open to what we shared. We setup a return appointment and met back up and reported what we found. We dropped off Elder Dodd/Sparto. We did some more finding and met a guy named Mahommed who is French. We had dinner with Bishop Gonzalez at a sushi place. We met with Jesse and addressed some of his concerns. Right now he is complacent. He has the goal of getting sealed to his family but is resistant to getting baptized. We exchanged back at the end of the night. 

Sunday 

In Sunday school the discussion was on missionary work. That was a good topic. It was a good elders quorum with five in attendance. We had a good amount of visitors that were vacationing in sacrament meeting. After church we had dinner with the Brother Irving. We hurried to a pass off with the Spanish elders but it fell through. We ended our night with weekly planning. 

Enter the Way 

John Chapter 14

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

How do we enter into the way of Jesus Christ? We enter that pathway to Eternal life through baptism. When we are baptized we show our willingness to follow his example for us. We promise to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ. Thus is an important thing all too often missed. We should always be striving to do the things he would have us do and remembering him. We promise to keep the commandments. When we do this it helps keep us separated from the world and stand as a witness of him. We also promise to serve the Lord. We do this through serving our fellow men. When in the service of our fellow beings we are in the service of our God.

Mosiah 2

17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.

Love you all 

Have a great week
