Week 77- July 30

This week has been quite an eventful week. There has been a lot that has happened. 

First things first. Preparation will no longer be on Tuesdays it will now be on Monday starting next week so that will be the day I Email on for now on. Friday we had Mission Leader Council and that is where it changed. We were all shocked at the change but it is going to be good. We'll see how it goes. Mission Leader Council was great. We received trainings on working in unity with our companions and also using the Scriptures in teaching. We now have to take the trainings that we received and train our zone. We have zone training meeting tomorrow. I am excited. It is always fun to give trainings I really love it. 

Saturday we spent a good amount of time preparing amps for President Kendrick and the Assistants. This time it was different. We had to type them up and email them to the assistants. It is so crazy how much we are using technology now but it is pretty awesome.

Sunday night was an eventful night. We were driving to visit a couple of people and while we were diving I called a referral that we received to see if we could visit him and he said that we could come over right then. So we drove over there to visit him. When we got there he let us right in. We started asking him questions to see why he wanted us there and what he expected of us. he cut us off and said "lets get down to thee dirty." He then started asking us a ton of questions about what we believed and things like that and he kept trying to show us a video but we kept saying no. As the conversation continued he began to be frustrated with us and what we believed. He pointed at us and accused us of being brain washed. Right then the Spirit told Me and my companion that we needed to leave so we got up and started to leave. We did it as politely as possible. As we were walking out he was begging us to stay so we can talk. That was pretty funny. It was such a weird experience. That was the first large bash that I have been in on my mission. While we were driving home he called us and left a message. In the message he acted like nothing had happened and he said that he wanted to talk with us. We will never be going back to that house. It was such a funny experience.

That afternoon we were visiting a less active member but they weren't home so we decided to knock the door next door. We did so and a man came to the door. When he opened the door he had a huge grin on his face and he pulled us into his home. He said that his mom was a member and all growing up the Elders used to come over and He loved them. He was heading out so he didn't have much time to talk but he said that he would feed us sometime and afterward we could teach him. He said " one of these days you're going to dunk me." It was such a miracle because we didn't even plan to knock on the door. We have been seeing so many miracles it is incredible. The Lord is really hastening his work. We have talked to so many people that say we can come back and visit them and share the gospel with them. 

That is so crazy that Grandpa is retiring. That is very exciting tho. It is about time. That is sweet that Austin is on the 50. He's probably having tons of fun. How long was that foreign exchange student there it seems like it wasn't very long? That is awesome that you got an email from Elder Risk. Its a bummer, he is no longer in the same mission as me. He is in the new Irvine mission. The next transfer is on August 13. I am probably going to be transferred on that day but who knows we'll just have to wait and see. We still haven't been able to find an apartment. We are still hunting. We need to find one quick tho.

 Thanks for everything Mom. I Love You!!!
