Exchanges and a Fortune Cookie

This week has been great! We had Zone Conference. They are super cool. Basically, missionaries from a couple of zones all come to the same building and we have a big meeting. It was a lot of fun. We talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon. Afterwards, we had a tie exchange. It was like a full out market. Everyone was bartering and trading. Some Elders laid their ties out on a table. Other walked around showing off their ties. It was kind of funny.

I also got to go on exchanges on Tuesday. I went to the Pismo Beach/Arroyo Grande area. E. Harvey showed me rich person lane. It was amazing. Apparently, Pismo has one of the best beaches in California. The views were the best I've seen since being here. The picture definitely doesn't look as good unfortunately.

On Saturday we had a young man preparing for a mission come with us. We were on bikes, so he was nice enough to give us a ride all day. We went to a Chinese place and this is what my fortune cookie said. That's an awesome fortune, right?! Now I just have to figure out what my goal was :)

So my challenge for all of you this week is to make a new friend. Find someone who seems left out and include them in what you are doing. Remember that we are all God's children and He loves all of us. Just think of how happy it makes Him when we help others be happier.

I miss all of you. The Gospel is the ONLY way to find TRUE AND LASTING HAPPINESS. Find joy in living it each and every day. Help other find that joy.

Love, Elder Bronson
