Today was weird. We started with not having correlation with our ward mission leader because he is out of town again. Then we got to ward council and watched the at home portion of "Making the Sabbath more of a Delight", which was unusual. Then we couldn't find people to give some of our investigators a ride to church. Then we had our sacrament meeting go 20min overtime, then we gave a blessing to a resent convert's husband. Then after church we had an hour meeting with our Bishop trying to to figure out how to get the motor running with the ward with missionary work. We then we went to dinner at the Neder's. They are a super awesome family. We had New York style and Rib eye steak. It was very Delicious. Immediatly after the Neders we went over to the home of the Lemon Grove Elder's investigator Robin so Elder Andersen could give him a baptismal intervew. that was really fun! I was able to talk about the week with The Lemon Grove Elders and Robin is Geting baptized next Saturday! it was an over-all great day!

Today was no ordinary day. Why? Well first off we didn't have studies in the morning because we had to set up for zone conference which is kind of like a big seminar for missionaries. It was awesome but it took from 8am to 4:30pm. I learned so much. This Zone Conference was specifically focused on missionaries and members working together as a team. It makes so much sense now that I know but I didn't even know what I was missing out on before today. Or in other words 'I didn't know that I didn't know'. That's for you Landmark peeps ;D. But more on point we received conformation for using the method of members working with missionaries as a team at dinner today. At the Wester's, a returning less active family, we used the organization that was presented to us in the Conference and it worked! The Westers and us are united in bringing there friends closer to Jesus Christ and the Gospel! We received 3 referrals tonight! It was an overall great day! Peace out Dawg!👋🏼👏🏻✌🏻️☝🏼️👊🏾 Yeeeeah!

Hey! So today we taught an Evangelicall named Ray the Restoration. He loves gospel, especially when it is from the scriptures. And we met with Ani and taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the word of wisdom. She was a bit iffy about the word of wisdom so we stressed that she should pray to know Joe Smith was a prophet. It was a pretty good day. :D

Today was a rough day. We only taught one lesson today because Elder Andersen felt sick and we had to do extra planning. The planning was definitely need so I'm glad we did it. It is going to make next week be a breeze. This whole week has been weird though. With extra planning, zone conference, the ward pool party and district meeting there has been hardly any time for teaching. It definitely has messed with my mojo. Whatever that may mean. We did teach one lesson today though. And it was with Greg! I love Greg. We haven't met with him in about a week and a half because he has been very busy but we wear able to meet with him today. We taught him about the Ten Commandments with a returning member named Bro. Gonzalez. Because of his mind set we taught the lessons using hand gestures so he can remember them easier. It was quite fun. Bro. Gonzalez bore his testimony on the sabbath day and how it has blessed his life. Bro. Gonzalez is solid. We were very grateful to have him with us tonight. We invited Greg to church on Sunday and he said he would try but would never give a sure answer. Hopefully he'll be able to make it. That was my day. Elder out!
