California Nine Weeks - Check!

Hello everyone!! Happy LOVE day!! This past week was pretty full so hopefully it all makes sense when I write it out!!
 
1. We had a zone conference on Tuesday! it was GREAT!! Honestly it was SOO uplifting and makes you want to work so hard but then it makes you a lil' depressed because I'm not that good yet...
2. Then that night we were driving pass Broadway and Brazil... where the Adult Club is and a SCHOOL BUS was parking right out side! We told one of our Elders and he said, "I wonder what that permission slip looked like?" It was CRAZY!
3. Today we get to go to China Town!! And a street that apparently is like a Little Mexico! Should be fun!!
4. We sadly had the family we were so excited to take on a church tour cancel on us BUT when she cancelled she said that maybe we could stop by and talk about it with her... We shall see.
5. We have one new investigator this week... she is homeless and lives in her car but has some other problems. Anyway, we got to teach her about the Gospel of Christ... it was GREAT!
6. I ate COW TONGUE! In a taco thing... to be honest, it wasn't too bad.
7. We set up a church tour with a lady who the elders gave to us. We went and knocked on her door, invited her and BAM! She said yes! Hopefully now she just shows up.
8. We knocked into a man who LOVES Mormons! He has met with sisters before but stopped. We set up a tour with him so maybe he will take more of interest again. He is already to Alma 2.
9. New favorite quote, mainly because it was a Lil hard week, "Discouragement weakens Faith"
10. We saw a crime show being filmed at this fountain that we jog past every other day! It is about 2 blocks away from our house! We see filming all the time, I LOVE it!
11. 2 dog stories... 1. We went to go see a part member family... we have been there a few times. There is a big fence and then  you walk in. So we go in like any other time... and this Beethoven movie dog... it was HUGE comes out growling!! My heart STOPPED!! It was crazy! 2. We are going down a street and we see this mail man about to get attacked by a dog and BAM he sprays him with some sort of something and the dog just keeps going for him! Glad it wasn't us!
12. Sister Ence and I decided we were going to knock this pretty long street so we started knocking with the goal of 10 church tour invites... we got 20! Zero excepted but still invited...
13. We had a GREAT lesson with the Garcia family in our ward. We got to talk about the Book of Mormon and how we can share it with others then played Book of Mormon Mania (thank you Tina and Jodi!) It was really cool to have an awesome lesson and have fun getting to know them.
14. As I have been studying this week in the Book of Mormon I realized ow much of it is missionary work and how we all need to teach! All of us.
15. I hope you all have a FABULOUS Valentine's Day and share your love with those around you!
 
LOVE YOU!!
