Week 81

Monday 5/15/2017 

It was a busy transfer day. The confusion was rampant through the mission. It seemed like every area was having a change. We had a struggle getting our stuff moved around most of the day. We went with Elder Thomas to go, go carting again. We eventually got everything moving around by the end of the day. I met with Elder Martin and we grabbed my stuff then unpacked for the rest of the night. 

Tuesday 

After studies we had some finishing touches to transfers to take care of. We gave Elder Thomas/Dodd a ride for most of the day. We were a blessing to get them their bikes and finish moving over their stuff. We did finding for most of the day. We saw this Asian man that was very nice. He invited us into his home after helping him move some things. He showed us all of his family and told us a lot. He spoke Vietnamese so we are going to get the other Elders to stop by and see him. Apparently I look like Kennedy to him. 

Wednesday 

In the morning after studies we exchanged. I went with Elder Thomas/Dodd while Elder Martin went to the district leader training meeting. We worked on getting their area straightened out since they were white washed in. When we exchanged back we finished our studies then went to dinner with the Jersengins. After dinner we met with the bishop and talked about how to get missionary work rolling in the ward. They are working on getting things in place after a realignment of boundaries and bishopric changes. We went out finding to finish off our night. 

Thursday 

We started our day after studies with district meeting. We talked about listening, asking inspired questions, and decerning the needs of those that we are teaching. There was a lunch appointment at cafe Rio that we hurried to. The we headed quickly over to the mission office so Elder Martin could got to a meeting for missionaries leaving. I went with Elder Dales and we saw some people during the meeting. We got back did a quick companionship study/Dinner before going out and doing some finding. We were able to talk to a lot of people while we were finding. 

Friday 

In the morning after studies we went out and did a little finding before lunch then weekly planning. Our weekly planning took till about dinner time. After we went out and did more finding. We were able to talk to some people they were nice but not interested in listening. 

Saturday 

In the morning we went out and did finding before lunch then companion study. We were able to talk to a mom. She was open to us coming back by and talking more. Our day consisted of more finding. We were in the Yorba Linda for the day which tends to be harder to get people to talk to us. 

Sunday 

We started our day with ward council, which was really good. I got to meet a lot of the ward during church. There was a Sister leaving to go on her mission to Kobe Japan that spoke. After church we went to the farewell to get some food. It turned out they know me from when I was a young fellow from fifteen years ago. She actually went to a birthday party I had when I five. So that was cool small world. We had dinner with the Morris family, the are really cool. Brother Morris gave us some great scriptural insights which I always enjoy. 

I'm running low one things to write about so I will leave with a scripture for this week. 

Doctrines and Covenants 18

10 Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;

11 For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him.

12 And he hath risen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him, on conditions of repentance.

13 And how great is his joy in the soul that repenteth!
