really good! The Toveys were there so it was a good night! Then the
normal night routine.

Friday, August 1st.
We did weekly planning for a little, took a break and went to help
move some people in 3rd ward because we had a truck lol it's bound to
happen! We helped those people out for like 2 hours and it was
hot....but it was fun! We got to meet a lot of people. And I got some
sun haha so that was good.
Came back, finished planning. Had a lesson with cris, and it was good
to see her! She's doing well! She said she would try out church on
Sunday!
After that lesson, we got a prompting to go see tony, the friend of
the Toveys, and he was at home. We were able to talk to him and make
contact with him since he had something come up on Tuesday. It was a
good visit too!
Then visited Doug Lee, good contact with him. Then had a good visit
with John and Lisa Ludlow, the parents of Emily and kylie( two little
girls who were baptized in April) and we were finally able to talk
about new member lessons with their girls..MIRACLE! it was a huge
miracle, and we are finally getting things going again! Love how the
spirit guides you to where you need to be!
Then dinner, and then we had a lesson with the Hamners and it was really good!
Then the same night routine.
Saturday, August 2nd.
Made phone calls, visited a few people then went to ally ( Ashely's
younger sisters) birthday party at a park. We were invited by Michelle
and Phil, and Lisa brooks was there too so it was fun! The theme was
frozen, and yes, it was really cute. We got a lot of pictures of the
decorations and the food and with the Avery's and Lisa and her kids.
Those are attached too, enjoy! It was fun! We were out in the sun for
awhile, so around 3pm we left and went home to eat some lunch then
went to Magalia to see some more people. And we were staying
hydrated....it was hot lol
We went to see a neighbor of the Holmes, the flemming family. So it
was fun! We talked with pat, and greg( the dad), and were able to
share a message with them then pick up the dad as a new investigator.
So that was fun! Then went back to paradise for dinner, and to a
lesson with Julie, and we read from the BOM with her and she is really
getting it. She loves everything so far! She's doing well.
Then went home around 8:30pm, and got everything ready to go for ward
council on Sunday. Normal night routine!
Sunday, August 3rd.
Meetings were really good in the morning! Church went really well, we
fasted for some of our investigators and for the mission to double
their baptisms. Testimony meeting was really good, and we were able to
see a lot of people (LA's) come too as well as some of our
investigators. It was really cool. Cris came and she had a good
experience! So it was good to hear that! A lot of the members here are
really pumped to be missionaries. The work here is good! Then after
church, we had dinner with the milbergs and ralfes...it was some
really good food. So good, and we had a good conversation on the work
and everything. Really missionary minded people.
Then went to see a friend of brother milbergs, George white. A LA
member. He isn't interested in coming back too soon but was really
nice to us and thanked us for the invite.
Then went by to see a few more people, then came back home and did
normal Sunday routine...called in numbers, called people, all that
stuff haha so it was a really good week.
Lots of miracles happened, and the week ahead is looking busy which is
good and we are happy missionaries! Yay, love being in the service of
The Lord. It's the best thing to do.
Monday, August 4th. Week 5 of transfer#5 in paradise. Today marks my
11 month mark and my 7 month mark in paradise. Time had gone by so
fast, but I love it so far!
I hope y'all are doing well!
Typical P-day stuff, hanging out in Chico then having dinner with the
brooks tonight! I love them so much! They're going strong as ever and
are eating up everything still as recent converts.
Then getting ready for tomorrow, lots of lessons booked so it's going
to be a good day.
Sister lights and I are getting along great! She's awesome.
Hope your seeing those miracles happen, because they do everyday! And
there are tender mercies given to is from The Lord...he really is in
"the details of our lives".
You guys are the best, and I love y'all!
