We started our day with a trip to downtown Disney. There were some cool things to do like Lego towers and drive remote control cars. We stopped by Joe's before lunch at the circle. We were able to stop by the Santa Ana zoo also. It was interesting more of like a petting zoo. I shook hands with a monkey which was cool. We stopped by a member's house from one of our previous wards. We ate some of their food and finished the night.

We did finding after lunch until dinner. We didn't get any solid contacts to follow-up with. Our dinner was with the Jensens. We went to the church for ward council but they changed it to the next day. We went to go see the Para family but they weren't home. We did some street contacting on our way back to the apartment.

Wednesday
Our day started with zone conference. It was a good meeting we had instruction to improve our teaching. After that we went and grabbed some Joe's. Sister Valencia dropped some Panda for dinner which is always a favorite. We had ward council the ward is really starting to want to take action with their missionary program. We had to leave to go to a lesson, but Elder Hugie felt other wise. So we went and saw Jesse. The family just moved into their new apartment and are getting settled in so we plan to see if we can do some teaching now. They have had a change in their life so maybe he will be ready to take action now.

Thursday
We had a lunch at Silverado cafe with Elder Thomas/Sami for hitting a mission milestone. It is out in the Canyon pretty secluded, but was a pretty busy place. A very friendly intoxicated man named Gabriel payed for our meal. He kept claiming in was Cinco de mayo but it wasn't till Friday. He was entertaining to say the least. We were able to have a meeting with Brother Vargas and Brother walker. He helped give some ward mission leader tips to Brother Vargas. We tried to see Brother Valencia, but he was leaving as we came up. We also tried to see Christopher. We then tried Cindy, she rescheduled for the next day

Friday
After we finished our weekly planning. We saw Cindy and she is fully clear from her lung cancer. The Doctors took 15% of her lung out with a robot which is cool. We talked to her about the Temple and how she can be sealed with the rest of her family. We taught her a little of the plan of salvation and invited her to the temple grounds tour. She definitely wanted to come if she was up for it. She is ready now to start progressing as an investigator since she has quit smoking cold. We saw Christopher and his mom and invited them to the temple walk as well. Our other appointments fell through since they were not home yet. We exchanged at the end of the night with Elder Durney/Seagmiller. I went with Elder Durney to his area.

Saturday
After our studies we had a lesson with a Liberian woman. She was kind of hard to understand and she didn't have much time to meet with us. We talked about the importance of her reading from the Book of Mormon to know if it is true. There was a young woman's fundraiser that we helped setup before lunch. Their investigator that they had going to the temple grounds walk was having some tent problems being homeless. So we went down to the river bed where the large homeless population is, to help her with her tent. We got to the temple walk and she really enjoyed it. She had the most questions out of our tour group which was awesome. The young women's thing for was for dinner. We were able to talk to a good amount of people before we exchanged back at the end of the night.

Sunday
We had a good Sunday another wave of summer sales people have come in. The burst of young people is going to be a great use while they are in the ward. Our dinner was with the Wardle family a temporary stay. They really want to help out with the efforts of the ward while they stay. There wasn't much for the rest of the night.

Ask of God
In my my studies lately expecially in the Doctrine in Covenants I have gained some insight. It seems to be a recurrence of have a desire for things. These things maybe gifts, wisdom and others things from God. The point that is always put across is you must ask in faith for what you may be desiring. The Lord is always willing to bless his children his arms are always out stretched. In the recent zone conference President talked about how often is says Joseph asked of God. He asked of God with all of his power. He has always been there to answer prayers even in times of old. He would answer prayers now being the same always.
That reminds me of a good scripture.
1 Nephi 10 17-18
17 And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of God—and the Son of God was the Messiah who should come—I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him, as well in times of old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men.
18 For he is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and come unto him.
