Yoooooooooo!
What's up everyone? I hope everyone is all having a great day and that life is
going well! Now, let's catch everyone up with what's been happening here in
good ol' Redding!
Well a couple weeks ago we had some great times! I went on an exchange with my glorious Zone Leader, Elder Hannemann. He's a great man. Not much really happened on our exchange, but it was still a great learning experience we had together. We grew a lot closer that day so that's good. Wednesday was Zone Conference. It was by far the best Zone Conference ever! We got our smartphones all set up so that was cool, except they are these crappy Samsung’s, so it made me realize why I'm forever sticking to Apple!

Brothers
Tanner and Gonzalez from the Missionary Department came and were just teaching
us about the importance of planning and finding. It was so insightful and it's
really going to benefit the work! Also, that week I went on exchange with Elder
Robinson who was in the same MTC group as me! He also happens to be my mission nephew!
(Which means his trainer and I were both trained by Elder Dixon) Not much
happened for us except we did have an awesome, super spiritual lesson to end
the night with this girl named Nikki, even though the lesson was intended for a
recent convert! But it was such a great experience. That weekend we were in
Weaverville and it was so great! We had a couple great lessons with Sean
Williamson and his kids. They are so awesome and they are so ready for baptism!
Just a few weeks away! We attended Sacrament meeting in Weaverville because it
was Ward Conference and it was amazing! Afterwards, they had a potluck and the
food was so dang good! That week was a pretty solid one!
This past week wasn't too bad either. On Monday we started teaching these two siblings of a recent convert named Aiden and Lilly, who are 10 and 13, and they are just great! Our first lesson was awesome and they are now preparing to be baptized on May 12th! Total miracle! On Wednesday we helped the Zone Leaders and the Redding 2nd/3rd ward elders move apartments for about 4.5 hours so that was tons of fun. That night we had a super solid lesson with the most recent convert in the Redding 5th Ward, Gabe Rocha. Gabe is so awesome! He's been working hard at getting himself to the temple to receive his endowment. He fell back into an old habit with drinking coffee, but when he got there he hadn't had any for 3 days! He's so awesome and I know that he'll make it to the temple soon! Thursday, we had a very long and frustrating lesson with good ol' Norman that was nearly 2 hours and basically zero progress was made.......I honestly don’t know how he can talk so much!!!! Friday, we started off the day with our first lesson with Venus Palmer and her son O'Rian. We basically just talked about the Book of Mormon and challenged them to read it and they said yes! We had a good lesson with our main man Todd. The only challenge with Todd is that he has a lot of health challenges and he holds a lot of anger towards God for his struggles, so it makes it a little difficult, but we still have great faith in him! We concluded our Friday evening at the Schaub's home with the Zone Leaders drinking some dang good Apple Cider Shakes! Saturday, we had a couple good lessons with TJ and Jimmy and that's about that. Sunday was a good day of 7 hours of church so that's always fun!
Anyways, I think that should catch y'all up on my life. I love you all and hope all of you have a fantastic week! Also, don't forget to send me some emails! I'd love to hear from all of you!💙
