Absolutely No Time!

Sorry. I have no time this week. It was good. We had a good lesson with our investigator Ann.
Please pray for my cousin Kobe and his family. Thanks. It means a lot.

Santa Rosa Ward!

We love it here in our new ward.
We met our investigator Ann and she came to church. That was awesome.
We ran into some people that just wanted to bash with us. There was one guy that I said hi to and then he just went off yelling at us about how we didn't believe in Jesus Christ. So I just did the only reasonable thing I could think of doing, I offered him a picture of Jesus Christ. I don't think he liked that very much. He just kept yelling at us, so we just left. There was a guy that was watching the whole thing and as we passed we just said hi to him. It was actually a really funny situation. It usually is funny when people try to prove us wrong because most of the time they just prove themselves wrong.
It was a good week overall.
As a mission we have been studying the Book of Mormon and highlighting Characteristics of Jesus Christ. It has been a really cool experience. The biggest one that has stuck out is mercy. It has been there more than any other attributes and it makes sense. He has so much mercy that He really did everything for us.
Have an awesome week everyone! Always remember your Savior and always do those things that please Him.

I tried making a tie and finished it. Here is a picture of it.

Transfers! Right next door

So we are getting whitewashed out, to the same ward! We are staying together, but they are moving us to a ward just next to us. We are staying in the same apartment and everything.

We did the TSUMAMII this week. In other words, we had 20 missionaries in our area for a couple hours. We got a ton of potential investigators.

Other than that we just prepped for a stake meeting.

Have an awesome week everyone!

A New Investigator!

We found a new investigator this week! Some of the Hermanas ran into her and set up an appointment for us. During our lesson she said that she wanted to come to church, read the Book of Mormon, and be baptized! So now we just have to keep her on that path.

General Conference was amazing! The Priesthood session was the best that I remember. One missionary here described it like King Benjamin's sermon where everyone who heard it had a change of heart. I definitely felt a little chastened by the Spirit. It just hit right what I needed.

We have zone conferences this week. They were really good. We were asked to talk on serving the Lord through our obedience. It went pretty well. Elder Christenson shared a cool analogy. We call it the Jesus wheel. So you take a wheel. The end of it where it runs on the road is like the line set for commandments and what we can and cannot do. There are probably a lot of things we could squeeze just past the line and get away with, right? Here is the thing though. The axle is where the Savior is. We aren't trying to see how close to the edge we can get, we are trying to get as close to Christ as we can. There is a cool talk by Elder Hartman Rector Jr. It is called "Live Above the Law to be Free." Also the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's are a good example of this.

Have a great week everyone!
