Scoring All Day - 2/6/18

Tuesday, for the rest of the day we did our laundry and on our way to shop we got pulled over because the car registration sticker wasn't there and we showed the officer our registration card and it was up to date. So he said that someone must of stolen the sticker off our car and got our haircuts. We went to the post office to send some stuff and to the beach to play football and rugby and just play in the sand. Which by the way I scored 8 touchdowns and 12 tries, so ya that was fun. Then we went to the church building to get mail and finish emailing. We had a really good lesson with 3 investigators Ryan, Rucelle, and Richard. Wednsday, we cleaned the church to prepare for a chapel tour and that took forever. Then we visited a few investigators and see how they're doing. We had dinner with the Smalls and they're awesome. Our church tour fell through so we had ward correlation with the Ward Mission leader and had district video conference. Thursday, we dropped off the car to get the driver side mirror fix and the other Elders came and picked us up to go to district meeting and then have interviews which took forever. Then we did some weekly planning and had dinner with an investigator. We had a lesson but he stood us up so we went to do some finding until ward correlation with the Ward Mission leader. Friday, we made some cookies for a part member family because it was his birthday and we dropped it off. Then we did lots of finding and some tracking which was actually successfully surprisingly. We also visited a few families in the wards. Saturday, we had district morning sports and a futbol game with one of the wards. We had a good lesson with an investigator and taught him the plan of salvation and worked on the progress reports for our wards at Chick-Fil-A. Then we did lots of finding and visited a few families in the wards. We finished the evening by balling it up with our investigators. Sunday, we went to ward council and had church for the first ward we cover and had ward council and more church. Then we had dinner at the Peays and a really good lesson with an investigator who speaks Thai and we set her with a baptismal date for the 24th of this month. In my new area, one of the wards has lots of people who had lived or has family that lives in btown! Monday, we did some service for a less-active and taught the ESL class for Farsi speakers. We did some finding and visited a few families in the wards. I talked to someone on the street and spoked to her in Chinese and found out that she's from Tianjin and has lived in the US for 8years. Then we had an interesting conversation with an atheist security guard that held us for like an hour.

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!

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...
