Jan 9th, 2018 - Baptisms and Chick-Fil-A

Hello All!

 First I like to say our prayers and love goes out to the Monson family as our dearly beloved Prophet Thomas S. Monson passed away this week. We all love and miss him. 

 Shout-out to Dave and Karly because little Eliza was born and also Paige and James because little Charles/Russell/Benjamin will be born very soon! 

 Tuesday, for the rest of the day we went to the church and email and have partial zone sports. Then we went to have a lesson and tried some referrals. We did exchanges with Arabic and had pizza rolls. Wednesday, we did some studies and 2hrs of language study and lunch. Then we went to go do some finding until we went to the church to have a baptismal interview. After that, we went to a member's house to pick up food that they bought us and went to dinner. We then went to a recent convert's house to have the new member lessons. 

 Thursday, we went to the church to set up for interviews with the President and then we stayed there for a while until we had a pass-off-lesson with Spanish but the guy wasn't there, so we got lunch. Then we tried to go find some former investigators and have weekly planning until dinner. Then we went to another lesson after dinner but that fell through since he wasn't there too, so we went to finish weekly planning. 

 Friday, I went to the doctors office to get a check up and then had THE BEST lunch because we went to Chick-Fil-A!!! It was the first time in 5 months and the first of the year. Then we had a lesson but he stood us up so we started to go do finding. Then we went to Mt. Helix for service and that lasted for a while. We had a really good lesson with an investigator who's going to be baptized soon. 

 Saturday, we had coordination with the ward mission leader and had 2 baptisms. We went to Arabic's baptisms first and then had lunch and went to Grantie Hills' baptism. We went to go do some finding before we went to dinner and do more finding after. 

 Sunday, we went to ward council and had church. Then we went to do home-bounds and had district meeting. We went to a lesson but he stood us up so we went to try some referrals before dinner. Then we did some finding and tried to visit some former-investigators. 

 On Monday, we did some service for this lady who moved into the ward. Then another member called us and said that she'll take us out to lunch, so we did. Then we went to do some finding until dinner and then more finding. Tuesday, well it's pouring rain here, so that sucks.

Kisses By a Member - 3/27/18

Tuesday, we did our laundry and went shopping. Then we came back to the flat to change and put stuff away and dropped off our car at the shop to get 4 new tires and a oil change. The zone leaders picked us up and went to Sea World! I haven't been to Sea World since Blake and Kenzie's wedding. We had a blast at Sea World! Our mission president gave us permission to ride the rides too! Then we went to the mission office to get mail and needs. Then we went to pick up the car and got ready for the evening. We had an interesting but good lesson with a less-active member and went to Balboa Park to do some finding and played badminton while finding too! By the way, I'm pretty terrible at badminton but it's fun and pretty intense. Wednsday, we did our studies and Elder Chen did MyPlan and had lunch. Then we did some finding until dinner with the Speeds. We visted a few members in the ward and did call-ins. Thursday, we had district meeting and lunch. Then we did language study ...

New Language, District Leader, White Wash, Opd Companion (Elder Chen), Same Me - 3/6/18

 Tuesday, we did some laundry and went shopping. Then we went to the church to have multi-zone sports and had dinner. Then we tried some referrals and less-actives. Wednsday, we went to see a less-active who is in EMT training and needed to take our vials and had back-to-back service with a member and a former-investigator. Then we visited a few investigators and had dinner with Rosa who's a less-active member and had LH correlation. Thursday, we went to have lunch with the Del Norte elders at an all you can eat buffett and had weekly planning, writing a draft email to our DL to fix the issue with one of our ward mission leaders because he's a hypocrite and told us that we're not doing a good job, comparing us to the missionaries in Boston and he's not supportive. And that's pretty much the nicest way of putting it. And we worked on stake packets and visted a few investigators and did some finding. We had 3 appointments and one of them cancelled but both of them wen...
