Hello all!
I hope you had a great week! Sister laws and I had a great week! We
had a lot of miracles happen!
Monday, June 23rd....it was a typical Monday! Hahaha nothing really
happened expect the usual. Took care of the truck, went to Chico to
hang out with the other missionaries, emailed, then dinner with
brooks....I just love them! We had a lesson with them
afterwards....covered laws( sabbath day, prophets, etc....all the
little lessons people have left after the three main lessons) and
they are doing really well! They are getting pumped for their baptism!
And they are already doing missionary work too! They only have one
lesson left, then they are ready to go...like sister laws and I are so
impressed with them and feel so blessed to teach them!
Miracles happen...every day! And I love that I get to see them more
now as a missionary. It's the best feeling to have.
Tuesday, June 24th.
We had a lot of finding and making phone calls. Etc. We had lunch at
izzy's, and it was way good!
Remember tony tonrono? Well we had another lesson with him at the
Tovey's house, and we taught the plan of salvation...he agreed with
everything. And was so prepared by The Lord to hear his gospel...he
accepted an invite to baptism, wants to come to the baptism we have
for another one of our investigators, Ashley, coming up this
Saturday...on the 5th...so he plans on coming to that! And is praying
for a date for baptism! And plans on being at church on Sunday too! So
he's doing really well! Another miracle!
After that lesson, we had dinner, then tried to contact a few people
the bishop had asked us to visit...then the normal routine.
Wednesday, June 25th.
District meeting, which was so good!
Then lunch, and had a lesson with the frenches...which was really
good! I love them! Such good people!
Then dinner with sister hatch and Ahrens, they invited one of their
neighbors...melah...and she is way cool! So we were able to meet her,
which was pretty cool. Then went to visit the members and tried to
contact a few more people. Then the normal routine.
Thursday, June 26th.
Busy day! Lots of lessons!
First we had a lesson with Dottie, and she is getting closer and
closer to making that decision to being baptized!
Then we had lunch/ got ready for the rest of the day.
Did some finding then had another lesson with Ashley and Michelle! One
of the families we have been blessed to teach! And went over the rest
of Ashley's lessons that she was needing to get done for her
baptism...which was really good! And while were doing that, her mom,
Michelle was getting the rest of her lessons done too. Ashley is so
ready to be baptized, everything is set and ready to go! Michelle
expressed interest in being baptized! HUGE MIRACLE!
and told us she would let us know when she was ready ...she's thinking
soon. Sister laws and both thought that too when she said that. So we
were pretty excited about that!
Then had another lesson with jerry and Lisa after dinner, went really
well! Then planned and got ready for Friday!
Friday, June 27th.
We had a "specialized zone meeting" in Chico with the Weston's and the
paulsons, mission president and some of those that serve in the
office.
Basically it was his "goodbye meeting" for the missionaries in the
northern part of the mission.
President Weston and his wife spoke and bore their testimonies on
their service as well as the paulsons who are leaving soon. It was
such a neat experience to hear them speak on what they had seen and
done while on their missions. It was such a spiritually uplifting
experience! I loved every second.
President and Sister Weston leave June 30th( today) and a new mission
president comes in!
President and Sister Marshton, are going to be our nee ones! It's
going to be a cool change.
So that took up most of our day on Friday lol it was also good to see
some of the other missionaries too! I love zone meetings!
I also got a package from my family. I LOVED IT. Seriously, you guys
are the best! I loved the letters too! I read them all and appreciate
all that you do for me. I am so grateful for you guys!
AND my mom decided to send some cookies....YUM! I loved them too btw
mom. Youre so great!
Saturday, June 28th.
So we had a meeting all day Friday. We had weekly planning that day,
so we did that most of our day. And of course dinner, then did daily
planning for Sunday and made a bunch of phone calls, got everything
ready for all of our meetings. So it was a really productive day!
Sunday, June 29th.
It was such a great day yesterday! Sister laws and I saw many miracles happen!
We had meetings before church then greeted everyone as they came in!
We had 7 investigators at church!
The Avery family, jerry and Lisa, tony, and another gentleman who we
have been teaching also.
There was almost no room left by the time everyone got in there lol it
was packed!
Lots of people came, and the ward is doing more missionary work now
...since we started this 40 day fast...we have seen so many miracles
happen! It was such a great day!
It was 5th Sunday, and we had a little bit of a change for the last
hour lol the relief society class was about fire safety...which is a
common concern up here in California...especially in paradise...with
all the trees. So we learned on what to do...not going to lie...I was
getting a little stressed haha sister laws and I were laughing so hard
about that when we got home lol now we know what to do!
Dinner with the Mahlings, then went and saw some more people! Then
planned and got ready for today! Life of a missionary...lots of
planning!
And Monday, June 30th...it's a Monday! We have a lesson with Ashley
and her family then planning lol and I get to email my family and
friends. Yay:)
Oh, and I also sent some pictures.
We had a really good week!

guys always!
You guys are the best!
