I'm tired, but that's good, right?

Hello!! Well this week has been great! I'm tired which is good right?

1. We meet with Lisa who is a less active in the Monrovia ward. She has been pretty depressed about life lately. She knows the church is true but she said that Satan is working on her extra hard lately. We had a lesson about the restoration and it went really good. Her two children were there and as we all discussed the importance of the restoration and Jesus Christ I really felt the spirit there. You could tell the children know about Christ.

2. We met Darlene. She was a referral from someone in Arizona. She has a son that is a member in Alaska. At first her daughter and her were a little stand-offish but by the end they were really nice and telling us to come back. We are planning on seeing them tonight.

3. We got dropped by a man this week that we have been trying to meet with but he was rescheduling with us. My companion calls him up to check on our appointment and he tells her, "You know, I haven't been really honest. I just wanted to meet with you two because I thought I could date one of you." What?! Creeper. Oh well, it brought a good laugh.

4. We have an investigator in Monrovia named Phyllis. She has met with missionaries before but didn't really learn too much. We had a lesson on the Book of Mormon, she went from being very anti reading the Book of Mormon as the word of God to maybe it isn't so bad. Hopefully she just reads it now. 

5. It was a service week... 1. I swear I am now a MASTER at weeding gardens. We did about 5 hours of it this week. 2. We laid laminate tiles and molding at home 3. We cleaned a refrigerator and cleared out a living room to sweep the floor and then put it all back at an investigator's home.

6. We met a less active Michelle in the Duarte ward. She is raising her 8 year old grandson and has a few of her children living with her. She said she wants to come back but is really busy. She told us that she left the church years ago because of someone in the church. She knows that it isn't the church or gospel but she still needed time. We set up an appointment for this week to hopefully help her find the importance of coming to church and bring it to her grandsons life.

7. Just got back from the temple! We went with two other elders from the area. It was really nice and the session was really small. I was thinking about it and this was probably the last time I will ever go to the temple as a missionary. Crazy to think about.

8. Mission life is GREAT! I love being a missionary!!!!

　

LOVE YOU ALL!!
