P-day Adventures/Happy Valentine's Day

What is one funny thing that has happened this week? 

I can't really think of any, but something fun is we had dinner at a counselor in the stake presidency. We eat there every Sunday night. We have lots of fun cause he is a laid back Hawaiian guy and he has a wife and son. So we have lots of fun over there just talking about stuff.

Yeah, I got the package on Friday, thanks. It is pretty great of Mish to send them for you.

We didn't have too much going on this week. But this coming week we have interviews with the president and then we have stake conference and a doctors trip and exchanges. So yeah, the week is going to fly by, even more so then the other weeks, even though they go by so fast already. We taught a few of our investigators but we weren't able to meet with the other ones and it was sad. Valentines was odd because we weren't really sure what to do that night because everyone was either gone on a date or if they were home they weren't really going to answer the door. So yeah, we walked around and talked to a few people, but they were in a hurry. We did meet one guy to refer to the Spanish missionaries.

Well I have figured out how to send photos so here you go!

Alma 60:7 Can you think to sit upon your thrones in a state of thoughtless stupor, while your enemies are spreading the work of death around you?

Q: What was the most spiritual thing that has happened this week? 

A: Umm I don't know. I guess during the week I have noticed that I have learned so much on my mission about the gospel. My scriptures are all marked up and still look nice though, so that is nice. I can answer people’s questions in church. I participate in church, which is also very different. But yeah, the Spirit has confirmed that I am a missionary of the Lord and that I am changing for the better. Doesn’t mean I am a completely different person, but the same just better. 

We are going and teaching a bit lately. We are teaching a man named Charles B, he is a former Marine. He said he did 2 or 3 tours in Nam, so he is a little messed up in the head. Also, we aren't sure if he knows what year it is or anything, but he is a cool old black guy from North Carolina. Then we are teaching a Jewish guy and a mom and daughter from Belize, so yeah we have a weird teaching pool right now. We have stake conference in 2 weeks. This is my second ward conference in the Granada Hills building and my second visiting member of the Quorum of the Seventy. 

I will keep Grandma Kathyrn in my prayers that is nice of Katie to go down and help her and take her for her cataract surgery.

Short Update

Encino is doing well. It is hard with it being slow, but we do a crap ton of Less Active work and lots of service. I am trying very hard to stay focused. I know I will be glad that I did this and grateful, too. I am going to finish strong. Well, we didn't have too much happen this week. We had a few lessons and we went by Less Actives. Oh, did I say I wasn't transferred nor was Elder Burgess.

I love you and Hope you have a good week.
