HI!!!!,
SO this last week we had zone Conference on Tuesday and it
was awesome!! I learned a lot about using our time here more wisely and how to
better PRACTICE teaching with my companion! It was really awesome! I
volunteered for almost every reading, Role Play, etc.. Basically whenever
President Clark or anyone giving a training asked us to do something I shot my
hand up just cause I learn better from hand's on experience! SO why not
volunteer right!?!?! Haha it was awesome. After Zone Conference we went and had
dinner with the Stake President over the Merced/ Atwater wards. President
Schofield is a really amazing man who has missionary work ALWAYS on his mind
and is always ready and willing to share the gospel with ANYONE!!
The next day (Wednesday), we had exchanges with the Atwater
3rd Branch Elders (Spanish). (Long story short, at zone conference my comp got
made District Leader for his last few weeks so now we have to go on Exchanges
with everyone in the District) Elder Harolds went with Elder Hopkins and Elder
Mora came here with me!!! HAha I took him on an adventure!! We went out to
WInton (like a 20-25 minute bike ride) and saw a few members. One of the
members we saw had some BEAUTIFUL huskies that they sell as show dogs (that's a
good business to be in if you know how to raise high quality dogs). Later on we
biked to the other end of our area and tried to see a few potentials. Nobody
opened up but we ended up running into a member from Idaho who was here in Cali
doing summer sales for Pest Control. We talked with him for a while and he
convinced Elder Mora and I that we need to do Summer Sales after our
missions!!! It sounds pretty awesome!!
On Friday, we went on Exchanges again, but this time with
the Atwater 2nd ward Elders. Elder Harolds stayed in our area with Elder Talbot
and I went to their area with Elder Toombs.
Elder Toombs and I had a ton of fun. On Saturday, he and I
went and helped one of their members put sealant in their pool! SO there was 4
people total in this drained pool painting, and that day just happened to
decide to be the single hottest day of the year here and completely baked us in
this walled off pool!1 Haha it was lots of fun though. I'm just happy Arizona's
heat has prepared me for something like this because about a half hour into it,
the other 3 were saying how they were starting to get delirious. Meanwhile, I
was hot, but was good to go and full of energy! They thought I was kinda weird
because of that!!
After we exchanged back, Elder Harolds and I had a lesson
with Gladys (INV). We read Alma 32 with her about faith. We set a date
for August 13th with her and she came to church the next day!! I love you all
and hope this week is awesome for you!!1
