It's that time again! I love this time. Only once a week do I get the opportunity to write to all of you and let you know how I am. Aren't I just blessed?
Last week I mentioned that I was going to Cafe Rio, and I did! It was amazing! It had been way too long since the last time I was able to eat a delicious pork burrito. That was certainly the highlight of last p-day.
On Tuesday was yet another District Meeting. I trained on using the Book of Mormon to help investigators get baptism dates. That was certainly one of the better meetings I put on. Directly afterward we were supposed to have a lesson with this girl at the church, but 15 minutes after the time we had set she texted us and said she couldn't make it. It all worked out, however, because this man who goes around to the different church building tuning their pianos stopped in. He talked with us for a little while then gave us money to go get some lunch. It was awesome! The rest of the Tuesday we spent trying to find people who may have moved out of the ward. We didn't have a ton of success, but we did meet some good people.
Wednesday was wednesdayrific. It says it all right there in the adjective, doesn't it? We taught the Watchous family. We actually read the first half of Alma 32 with them. It was a pretty good time. That was certainly one of the best lessons we've had with them. They even mentioned that they enjoyed it more that they normally do. At night we taught our investigators, the Storzieries. We taught the Plan of Salvation. It was pretty good there, too.
Thursday was mostly unproductive, in terms of teaching lessons. We did get to do our weekly planning, which is now on Thursdays and not Fridays. We also had interviews with President Van Cott. That was pretty neat. It was cool talking with him one-on-one. I'm glad that he's my mission president.
Friday was totally different. By noon Elder Alba and I had already taught 2 lessons! They were sweet. One to our recent convert, Sulema, and the other to the less-active guy who is pretty cool. Then after lunch I went to the Inland Empire Optometry to get my eyeballs checked out. The verdict is that I need glasses. So pretty soon I will become bespectacled. I can't wait.
The weekend kind of zoomed by. We spent a bit of it with our ward mission leader, Brother Williams, splitting up the ward in to smaller areas so that we can work with the members of the quoroms to contact and meet as many less-active people as possible. We met some people in convelescent homes whose names weren't on our records. We had church, of course, which went by pretty good. I'm not sure what else to report on. It was a decent week in my opinion.
Until next week, my good friends!

I thought I'd taken more pictures than this, but I guess not.
I know these pictures are a little late, but whatever.
