Week 25 in LA--Week Down, Another to Come

This week was the transfer week so it's a little slow but I'll try to make it interesting. 

Tuesday we had a good day, we visited some people then we drove up to the mission office (still on bike we car shared), our apartment has a lot of spiders. We name them. One is lil' drake, and the other is Jason. [See pictures]

Wednesday we had a good day talking with people, we then had some meetings and we had to fix Elder Albuquerque's bike, a spoke broke. 

Thursday we got the bike back and went out and visited some more pople nothing real came from it but that's missionary life.

Friday we had District Meeting and then we went and visited some people in a retirement home. We also had fun doing family history for the older folks. 

Saturday we had the Adult session of Stake conference and Ivan got to be apart of a Recent Convert panel. It was so cool to see. 

Sunday we had Stake conference and I learned a lot. We had Elder Misken of the 70 there, it was really cool. 

Thanks for reading

Week 24 in LA--Transfers Are In........

So this week was really cool. So on Monday we had a fun P Day, then our Mission President went with us out to dinner and a Lesson with our investigator Eric. It was so cool and we had an awesome discussion. He is getting baptized March 10th and I am super excited. 

Tuesday we did some service and moved some couches it was pretty hard as the couches were super heavy but we got it done and we had fun. 

Wednesday we went up to the Los Angeles Temple and we did Service while the temple is closed for cleaning. We got to cut some crab grass in the front of the temple with sickles it was really cool. 

Thursday we had a regular missionary day we went out and knocked doors and we got a return appointment for Tuesday. We then had Correlation with Brother Gracia and we then headed home for the day. 

Friday we had District Meeting and I always enjoy going to those and learning from others. We then went and taught a Family History Crash Course at a retirement home and we got some people intrested. 

Saturday we went to a baptism for someone in the Manhattan Beach ward who I found. It was so cool to see him being baptized, when we met him he didn't even know who Jesus Christ was. I was very happy for him and his family. 

Sunday we went to church and had a great service, we then went out and then had a great lunch at a members home. That night we got our Transfer calls, Elder Albuquerque and I are staying together in R2. It's going to be awesome to stay and see Eric baptized. 

Have a great Week!

Week 22 in LA--Changes are in Bound

We got some crazy news this week, so in July the CLAM (California Los Angeles Mission) will be grabbing some new stakes from a mission that is closing north of us. The Long Beach mission (south of us) will be taking the bottom 3 stakes from my mission Palos Verdes, and Torrance North, and Torrance. The missionares that are serving in those stakes when the change happens will go to the Long Beach mission. That is pretty crazy, but cool. 

So this week we went to the temple with Ivan to do temple baptisms, it was so cool to see him baptize his wife. I had the opportunity to baptize Ivan. It was a very great experience for me. 

We also had interviews with President Haynie. It is also always fun to meet and talk with him. Today we are going to some new places and things so I am going to send more pictures later. We got Smartphones this week as well, since everyone in the CLAM already has tablets they just replaced the old phones with new ones, and slowly over time the tablets will go away. The Lord is hastening his work with technology. That is it for now but I'll send something later.
