This week was a really good week!
I love to see how normal it is now to be a missionary and to talk to everyone its really great!
I really do love Simi Valley, it gets super-hot! It’s so nice, the people here are great, the ward is so great, all they want to do is help and it’s just so awesome!
So this week we met with a former Member. She had not been seen by missionaries in 8 years, but first started going to church in Agoura (my last area)! She is really good friends with one of the less actives in Agoura, I know her very well. It’s so interesting how the Lord works things out. First she let us in and unloaded all her issues that she has with the church. We found out she went to church for a whole year, when she was told about the temple it turned her off and she never came back. After she told us everything she hated she told us that we had answered her prayers! CRAZY! She is going through a lot of surgeries and stuff and she is very lonely. She wants to know if god still loves her! She took us as her sign that he does love her! She wants us to come back and visit so that’s good!
We taught one of our investigators the law of chastity and word of wisdom lesson and at first I was a little scared but it turned out really great! He loved it! He learned that he had to quit a few things. He was so open and it really was a really great lesson! He is on the road to being baptized on June 14! So it’s going to be great!!!! He is such a funny guy and he loves when we bring members, he comes to the 4th ward and our ward so he comes to 4 1/2 hours of church. He really is funny and we found him tracting even better! He also told us his healthy diet, a bowl of cereal for breakfast and two microwave burritos for lunch and whatever for dinner! He told us, yeah I’m already following the word of wisdom.
We taught one of our investigators the ten commandments it turned out really well she is so smart she basically taught the whole lesson, she goes to a Christian school so she knows all the basics, her mom the less active is getting into the church again and is loving it!
We taught a sweet couple, he is having a really hard time; he is in his 70s and found out that he has cancer. They caught it early so he hopes to be healed soon. He loves learning about the plan of salvation, it was really good. We invited them to baptized but they are still not sure yet.
We had a Young Woman’s and Young Man’s fundraiser at the church and four of our investigators came! It was so much fun it was book of Mormon themed so it was great for our investigators. They got to meet so many members and got to see what the youth of the church too! We got to eat with our hands and the youth did a little skit and it was just supper good and fun! Me and Sister Mason got to help with the food! I got to cut chickens in half and it was fun to use my culinary skills again even just for a little while!
We visited a less active member, he is just so funny!!! He is a veteran, we asked him if he had any kids and he said that he might have a few 1/2 oriental kids running around that he doesn't know about, he also says that Alma is his main man! I looovvveeee Him he makes my week so much better! He always makes me smile!!!
We had a lot of investigators at church and the members just swooped in and took them to their classes. The couple we are teaching came to church; he was so excited he loved church! As he said good bye he went in for a hug before I could even stop it! Yeah he is 70, it was my first man hug in 9 months:)
So as we were tracting we ran into some very interesting characters...this happened two different times but as we knocked the person answered happens to be Asian and can speak English and they just laugh at us awkwardly until we give them a card and leave. It is super funny!
We also found out that one of our members, who is a convert, his mom was a nun and after she left the convent she had 17 children… I was rolling! It was supper funny and so unexpected!
That was my week! Love you all
