Hello all! How are ya? I hope well!
This week was busy and full of miracles. We worked a lot with the
members, and visited them..so it was great! The ward is on fire right
now with wanting to be member missionary's.
Monday, August 4th.
Typical P-day, hung out in Chico. And had a great lesson with jerry
and Lisa brooks, our newest recent converts, and they are doing well!
Then the night routine.
Tuesday, August 5th.
Slow morning, but we made a lot of phone calls and contacted a lot of
people so it was good. It also rained a little bit too, much needed
rain so it worked out.
We did some finding, and then dinner. We had a good discussion about
missionary work with the members, and our ward mission leader was
there too so it was cool getting to know him more and get some more
ideas on what the ward can do to increase the missionary work in the
area.
After dinner, we stopped by another sister in the ward council, sister
Davis. We talked more with her on some things that we could do as a
ward to have more missionary opportunities. Then the nightly routine.
Wednesday, August 6th.
We had a zone meeting in Chico, and President and Sister Marshton were
there so it was cool to receive some revelation for those that we
teach and for ourselves too.
After the meeting, we went to eat lunch then came back to paradise and
went straight to visiting those people we got some tips for!
We had dinner with a family at a local diner, and it was great!
And then went to mutual.
We were asked to share/ teach some of the youth of what is like to be
a full time missionary so sister light and I, were happy to go and do
it!
We had the chance to have Sister Marshton come too! So it was fun!
Working with the youth was a blast! We didn't have a lot ....lol like
only 2 youth were there but it was still pretty good. We went over the
restoration and watched a little bit of the Joseph Smith movie, then
it ended at 8:30 so the youth left and then as we were cleaning
up...President was talking to the leaders in charge of mutual and
asked if we would plan another one! And let them know so him and
sister Marshton could come so that's going down! Another one to come!
Love the people here in this area!
Then the normal night routine.
Thursday, August 7th.
Busy day!
We had a lesson with Dottie, and that went well!
Then lunch, and another lesson with marque. We are almost done with
the BOM!! That's exciting!
Then went to the church to watch another video on the restoration with
Julie, and sister McDonald came to that lesson too so it was really
good!njulies really starting to get it!
Then dinner with the avery family, we had a lesson with Ashley while
her parents were getting stuff ready to go for dinner. Then dinner, it
was fun! I love that family so much! I really feel like they are "my
people" haha they are such a gem to teach, talk about a good Mormon
family....that's them!
Then after dinner, we had a lesson with the parents and they are both
on board to be baptized just not until September sometime so now they
are looking at a date for that. But they love church so far, and are
keeping all of their commitments. So it was a great lesson! Then the
night routine.
Friday, August 8th.
We helped out in the morning with a humanitarian aid service run by a
sister in the ward, did that until 10:30am, then had lunch and got to
hang out with some of the women in the ward.
Dottie was there too! She loved it!
Then after we cleaned up, we went to visit another recent
convert...Jessie. She was baptized in December of last year ...so we
stopped by to see how she was doing and ended up having some lunch
with them too lol but it was nice to visit with them and set up
another time to read with her so it was good!
Then went to Magalia to find more people.
Then a lesson with cris and sister Witta, it was another great lesson.
Then dinner, and then a lesson with the Hamners( another couple we
teach too) so...we were busy. But it was such a good day.
We didn't weekly plan at all with everything that happened so we made
time in nightly planning to do it on Saturday.
Saturday, August 9th.
Planned in the morning, then went to a baptism for paradise 1st and it was good!
Then had a lesson with James and Jim smith, talked a lot about
service. And they are pros at it! Such good examples so it was a great
lesson!
Then lunch, and more finding in Magalia.
We stopped by tony, the friend of the Toveys, and he was home! Some we
have him some ensigns and stuff to read and invited him to church and
said he got some ties and new shirts! All for church! That was cool to
hear! He said he would be there!
Then stopped by the Holmes neighbor, Greg and his family. We ended up
talking to his daughter, maddy and Georgia( friend) and they both
agreed to visit with us again to learn more! So that was cool! Then
the rest of her family came out and we talked with them for a little
bit before we left for dinner.

to be there! We were happy too haha! He stayed for all meetings too,
he loved it! Love it when people enjoy church!
Then after church, we updated the Areabook and then went to a lesson
with the paradise 1st elders. Jason, one of their investigators, asked
if we could come and say hi! So we did, and the elders and us taught
him the plan of salvation, he had lots of good questions so it was a
lot of fun acutally.
