Week of Awesomenessssssss😎😬🤣

Hello Family!
This week has been really great we have had a lot of cool miracles and
lessons that I am excited to talk about. So everything is going good
in the ward, we actually had C give a talk in sacrament and he did
the best job ever! It was so cool to see that. He is going to go to
the temple sometime soon which is going to be really cool. Here was
our week!
Monday
So Monday we hung out with the missionaries from Redondo and Torrance
which was cool! We went hiking and that was the pictures and stuff
that I sent. I don't know if you all were able to view the videos they
took up a lot of space, but I found out a way to make videos that are
not taking too much space. So that was fun then we played board games
and that was really fun. After P-day we went to dinner with the
E's which is always the best. After that we went to FHE which
was cool we took some time because our ward mission leader wanted us
too to share about the investigators and less active members we are
working with and we had a discussion with all these people on how to
help them, it was really good because we have the R's who are
struggling financially which they are now helping them with food and
stuff which is super awesome. So that was really cool to see that,
working with members is the best, all success comes from working with
members to solidify people. Member missionary work is bomb!
So Tuesday was pretty exciting as well. We had MLC which is always
fun, it's a really spiritual experience and it's just fun to see how
much President Haynie is getting used to the mission it's really cool
to see that transition that's why I loved being a trainer so much
because you see the missionary you trained later on and it's awesome
to see how much they know and how much they have grown spiritually.
After MLC we were super busy. We had some appointments to be too and
so we went and grabbed R who is one of the members he is about to go
on his mission and we went over to this for guy named E. He is
super cool we went over and there were some guys outside partaking in
not so good substances and they asked who we were looking for and we
told them and they said he was out back after we already knocked on
his door and his dad answered and said the same thing, but told us
that he has a pit bull and a German Shepard and so we went around the
corner and E saw us and was like, "Hey guys!" He walked over to
see us when his huge German Shepherd came out and came up to us and
was actually pretty nice and then this pit bull comes out and barks
and runs super fast over to us and we thought we were screwed, but it
just came up to us waging it's tail and was super excited to see us.
Then we talked to E for a while about the Plan of Salvation and he
had some pretty legit questions and it was super cool because we would
relate a lot of the answers to him and he understood and accepted a
lot of what was taught which is super cool. Excited to see where he
goes. After that we dropped R off and had to go give some cards to
missionaries for the rest of the night, but that was Tuesday.
Already Wednesday was really awesome as well! We went to get a loaner
car because ours was going to get fixed and then we actually found out
that our car would be the new loaner car and that they are going to
sell the one we have so we will be getting a new car! So rad!
After that we went to Elder Rawlings and Elder Dayley cut his hair
because his hair was a little too long and it was super funny because
he didn't want him to cut it too short, but he needed to cut it really
short because it was so long so that was really fun. Haha Memories.
After that we went and visited D and L which was cool they
read what we left with them to read which was really cool! We shared
about The Gospel of Jesus Christ and D is doing really well he
loved the Book of Mormon and he is still reading it and wants to learn
more, his mom is loving it too, but she doesn't seem to have the
vision of converting though, but it's really cool to see them change
as well!
After them we went to C and talked about his talk and we taught
him the Plan of Salvation and The Gospel of Jesus Christ in one lesson
which was cool he understood all of it and he is doing so well! He
bore his testimony too on Sunday when he was giving his talk which was
really awesome I can't express how much joy we felt when we saw him
like that and he is still progressing and the blessings are coming
Too! I can't remember if I told you, but he is working at Deseret
Industries right now which is cool and they are helping pay for his
trucking license which he is wanting to get back into which it's
starting to come sooner and sooner!
After C we went to dinner and had some great food and then we went
to try one more appointment and they weren't there, but it was worth
the try we met some other cool people around in that area. Super cool!
Thursday we had weekly planning and also a meeting with some other
missionaries that took almost all our day, but we had an awesome
dinner and we dropped off a Book of Mormon to a less active member
that she gave to her daughter to read which was awesome. Member
missionary work! So bomb!
I can't really say more about Thursday!
Friday was really fun we had District Meeting and we explained also to
everyone that their are no more ZTMs because of the large amount of
Zone Conferences and Interviews that go on. So we had a quick meeting
afterwards to set goals and stuff for May.
After our meetings we went to contact around and also we had a
appointment with R. M. and we taught him the Plan of Salvation
and he would answer all the questions we would ask. He knew it already
it was super surprising!
After that we had dinner by ourselves which was a first in a long
time. We get fed so much which is super awesome.
After that we visited the C's which was super cool. We had a
really good lesson about answers and M said she is starting to
feel like the things she is reading and praying about are true. Also
V is doing better as well she wasn't as committed so that was a
cool thing.
That was Friday.
Saturday we had exchanges I was with Elder Olive, but they had a lot
of appointments in their own area so we went over there and went to
their appointments which was cool. We met with this girl they are
planning on baptizing this up coming Sunday and she is super prepared.
We went over the interview questions with her and she is ready for it!
Super cool. After that our Ward had a Luau which was awesome we had
food and then talked to some nonmembers while he youth were putting on
a show. It was so cool we have Samoans in our ward and they put
together all the entertainment which was really cool!
That was Saturday and Sunday we had a good day, Church was great and
C did a great job on his talk. Also we had the R's come by
themselves which usually they would need a ride, but they got
themselves to Church which was awesome.
After Church we had to call some people and then from there go to
dinner to the T family for dinner and they are so cool also
Samoan. So we ate a lot! Haha
After that we had transfer calls and so we are having transfers
tomorrow and I am going to be leaving San Pedro and going to Lawndale
in North Torrance. President still has me as a zone leader over there,
but the best part of it is, that my new companion is Elder Cowley who
was my MTC Companion!!! We are so excited to serve in the field
together it's going to be so awesome! So that's what's happening to
me, Elder Dayley is staying and his new companion is Elder Olive who
was also one of my former companions. Super cool! I am super excited.
Well that was our week! So I won't have a solid time yet for calling
home for Mothers day because of the transfer, but next Monday I will
have the sure time and stuff for that! I am excited for that I didn't
even see it coming I completely forgot and then boom it's here! Other
than that my week was great and I am doing great and am super excited
for this next transfer full of adventure! I know that the Church
changed lives I saw a witness of that on Sunday with C talk about
from rock bottom to the top, he is doing so well! I love you all and
have a great week!



Love,
