Slow Week, New Companion and 9 Hours of Training

With Elder Huston again!

So it was a pretty good week. I got to see Elder Huston, got a new companion, and got a member to finally decide to get her patriarchal blessing. This was a slower week so the email will be semi-shorter. 

Monday was a good day for the most part. We played basketball at the church will all of us and that was a good time. We cleaned up our apartment from top to bottom and that was fun. We had a giant camp out the last night with Elder Gemar and that was pretty fun, except the floor messed up all of our backs haha. But we're good now and my new companion's name is Elder Endicott. 

Tuesday we had the transfer train. I saw Elder Huston and a few other good guys. I did some shopping with my new companion and then we went out to work. 

Wednesday we had food share service in Oxnard and that was weeding, so as fun as it gets. We then had an awesome dinner with the Hernandez family (the Skype family) and that was good. We met our WML (Ward Mission Leader) and talked about the work and because he is brand new, we set up some good plans. We did not do much today, slow day. 

Thursday was big!!! I had to go to a MLC (Mission Leadership Council). Most of the time it is just for the Zone Leaders, but the District Leaders went to this one and it was like 9 hours with President Felix talking about our mission and how to better it. I was with Elder Landon Gregory that day because it was just for DL's so I was on a temporary exchange with him. It was very long, but very good. We changed up some of the numbers, made some new rules and took some away. It was just a good, long meeting. That night, I was just exhausted, but we had dinner with our Bishop at a really good steak house, so that was cool. 

Friday we had an awesome District meeting centred around baptism and that was really cool because it was just what we all needed to get excited. We also did our weekly planning because I was at that meeting all day Thursday. To end the night off, we had a good visit with one of our Deacons who was having a rough day so we cheered him up!

A very cool Sports Car

Saturday nothing happened. 

Sunday we had a really good day at church. We had 3 good classes, we taught the investigator class and that was cool. We had one of the members, who is 18, said that he didn't want to get a Patriarchal Blessing, accept getting one so that is really cool and super awesome. Then we had a good dinner with the Bishop!

Well, slow week, but good. I love you all so much. Muah. I'll talk to you all very soon. 
Muah :)
