Another Last

Hello everyone! 

I will try to write more this week, I have been slacking lately! Honestly, one day bleeds into the next, weeks feel pretty much 2 seconds long so it's hard for me to remember exciting details! 

This week started off... kinda poorly actually. On Tuesday we had to discontinue our visits with one of our favorite investigators, it was very sad, but hopefully this break is what he needs to help him continue to progress! 

Later in the evening we met with Carlos though, and he is super awesome so it cheered us up a little! :) he is very open to learning; he met with missionaries like 7 years ago and wants to come to church! We are excited to work with him.

Wednesday, we had zone conference...my last one :( it was kinda weird... it still doesn't feel real and I guess it probably won't until I step on the plane... i didn't even win basketball! I don't if I ever mentioned this, but we always play speed at zone conference... and I've always lost haha not really surprising...

This week we have been super blessed to be able to meet a lot of less-active members who are willing to come back to church! That's actually one of the things we talked about at zone conference; how there are 3 ways people typically get "lost" from God's fold. There are those who wandered away like sheep without even realizing it, some who were lost without it really being there fault, and those who rebel. I'm pretty sure it's in Luke 15 where we read about he parables that go with that. Well anyways, we happen to have met a few great "wandering sheep" members this week :) 

Saturday we only had one lesson scheduled, in the evening... which is super weird.  So we decided to go do some walking, stopping by some potentials... We walked for like 3 or 4 hours all around Pico Rivera! About half way through, this very nice man offered us some lemons from his tree... he then insisted I take more haha so then I was walking around with about 15 pamphlets, 2 books of Mormon and about 10 lemons... Don't tell my chiropractor lol. Also that morning was "arm day" which is really more like "shoulder day" when you don't have any weights so.... yeah I was pretty sore the next day. 

Sunday was lovely! No investigators came to church (sad face) but some members we have been working with did! Last night we had an awesome lesson with 3 roommates we teach, we had member come with us and we read the book of Mormon and kinda had like a testimony meeting, it was really cool. 

Well, I sure love you all! The church is true! Make good choices!
