This week was great! I have a lot to say in this letter so I hope I can get it all down. First watch the movie Meet the Mormons! It's great and I know you guys will love it. We watched it as our Sunday video for our last Sunday at the CCM. It was amazing. Second, listen to the song Glorious, the one by David Archuleta is a great version and it reminds me of the CCM. I almost started crying in the car when the song came on, when I was on exchanges with the Zone leaders because I just felt the Spirit so strong and it brought back great memories of my friends back at the CCM. It's awesome.
Jeff's text; We were getting
ready to have dinner with Hma Caravaca when I saw a text from an 814 number on
our phone. I almost screamed. As soon as I saw that area code I knew it was a
family member. haha I told my comp about how Jeff and Sheena live in this
mission and now I know that they live in Temecula. We cover the north part of
Temecula in our work but we can go to any part in our zone, which is Temecula,
for Dinners. We called the Mission President and he told us it was all good, and
to just treat them like any other member. I'm not sure when Temecula ward goes to
church or where exactly but Santa Margarita goes in the morning and some people
don't go til like 2. But yeah that was cool. Our dinners for this upcoming month
are almost set though so we might have to do a lunch or something .
Next:
last night we were knocking on doors and we went through like 10 doors of people
just telling us to go away or that they weren't interested. It was raining
pretty good too . Well we went up to this one house and this guy opens the
door, says what can I do for you Gentleman? We told him who we were and what we
do, after that he invited us in because it was raining. We sat down and he asked
us if we wanted a hot Drink like Coffee because it was cold and rainy. We told
him about how we don't drink coffee (and at this point I'm a little scared
because I thought he just wanted to bash with us.) But instead he deeply
apologized for it and said he didn't know and that he has always been interested
about religions. He told us about his wife being all these different religions
and about Trinidad and Tobago where she's from. So to make a long story short
they were awesome and we had a great talk, they thought we were awesome and just
all this stuff. I can't fit everything into this e-mail but it was great,
and I
said 'I love you Heavenly Father!!, as we sat out in the rain, with the umbrella
that they gave us, writing down their address for a referral.
In other news, I
went to In and Out for the first time with Elder Shock the Zone leader on
splits. I told my comp though that I still hadn't been so that he would take us
out again. But after our District conference he found out that I lied because
Elder Shock told him that we did haha. But it's pretty good.
I think its
awesome. In our lessons we've had a lot with this guy named Julian. He talks
really fast so at times I understand only 75% of what he says but (he's a RC) he
says when I talk its corto y fuerza. Short and strong or powerful. So that
always makes me feel good when he says that I'm still learning and have a ton
left to learn but I know I'll get there. We got 3 new investigators this week
all through missionary efforts so we've been working pretty hard. I know that he
will bless me in my efforts. I am so thankful for this opportunity.I hope you
have a great week!
