Hey
Everyone! To be honest, these past couple weeks haven't been all that exciting,
but I'll give you some of the short and sweet highlights!
Not last Monday, but the one prior, we went and hiked Whiskeytown Falls with the Zone Leaders and the Assistants. It was super sweet.

District Meeting has actually now changed to
"District Council" and I'd like to say I like it tons more than
before. Now, most of our time is spent discussing our investigators and how we
can help them to progress towards baptism. It now makes things much more exciting!
2 Fridays ago, we were supposed to have our
TIWI in our car replaced, so Elder Gardner and I waited, and waited and
waited.... but the guy never showed up! We
just sat there for an hour and a half and nothing! A tad bit frustrating, but
oh well. But on a good note, last Sunday was Sierra's Confirmation! t was so
amazing!
Tuesday I went on an exchange with Elder Batchelor and it was a really good time! He's such a good man and we both are very similar in how we do missionary work. It was great!

Wednesday,
we celebrated the 4th of July by going to the Sundial Bridge and handing out
some water bottles with the Zone Leaders. It was a pretty good success.
Afterwards we just spent the evening watching the fireworks with them.
Thursday,
we helped these old people out with some service and they offered to feed us
dinner, so we were super excited! But I did smash my finger and that hurt a
bit.
Saturday,
we had a super solid lesson with TJ where we just re-established our purpose
for our meetings and it went so well. We were able to find out what TJ is
interested in learning and making changes in his life. It has rekindled the
hope we had for him previously!
Ha-ha
Funny story….. We were supposed to have a lesson with this family, but we
showed up and their son answered the door and said they couldn't meet because
his dad was in the back of the house giving himself a tattoo! And then he
walked out and said sorry for forgetting and he showed us what he was working
on. It was interesting to say the least.
Anyways, not much else to talk about. I guess the lesson I have learned these past couple weeks is just how powerful prayer is and how it really does work as we have the faith that Heavenly Father will answer our prayers! I've been praying so much lately, and it is what has kept me going and pushing through the good and the bad.

I

week my friends!
