Dear Family,
It is amazing how fast time is flying by when you are having fun and very busy :) It has been a really good week this week. Different, but really good :)
Monday - Did the normal P-day stuff. It was good. We had dinner with members and that is always fun. I enjoy getting to know the different families and strengthening them. It is exciting :)
Tuesday - We had zone meeting, then exchanges!! I went to the Oleander ward with Sister Hope. It was fun to go experience another ward and see who they are teaching. I always enjoy going and helping with what I can. We do exchanges now from afternoon to afternoon. It is different, but it makes the time go by faster. It is exciting :)
Wednesday - We had exchanges then switched back. Sister Hope and I had some really bad peanut butter, so we were very sick to our stomachs. We still went out and contacted a few people. It was good. That afternoon Sister Bullen and I went and saw one of the less actives in the ward. She has really bad health problems, so she cant come to church, so we go by and try and strengthen her as much as possible. They are also now taking the sacrament to her. It is good. :) Then we had to come home. I ended up taking a nap and praying that my stomach got better. We then went out and did more work. We had dinner with a great family and then we offered to help her with her new business, so we got to sign up for service :)
Thursday - We had weekly planning. It has actually been going well. Still not my favorite thing, but it is getting better. It helps to have a companion that focuses and enjoys doing it :) We had 2 member present lessons today!! Which is always exciting. It is always fun to meet with out investigators. We are teaching a family, well, the children of a family. They are 18, 16, 14, and 12. It is fun. They are wonderful kids. The 16 year old was baptized in Riverside, but lives in Fontana, and she wants all of her family to become members. It is exciting to see the effect of the Spirit in that home. It is amazing and a lot of fun to strengthen families :) I enjoy it a lot :)
Friday - Day of service!! We went to go and help the Dalton's. We had dinner with them on Wednesday and they needed some help. They are starting up their own business. They have created a nail polish remover that doesn't have acetone in it and is better for your nails. It isn't toxic and they put essential oils into it. It is amazing!! We helped them shred papers to fill the boxes, put labels on bottle, then fill and cap the bottles. It was so much fun!! It is always exciting to go and serve the people around us. I enjoy it a lot :) They were also stressing and worrying. They are putting their product in a show in Utah, so they needed to get everything to their brother in Vegas by tonight. It was a little crazy for a bit, but we ended up getting it all taken care of. It was fun :)
Saturday - We did more service!! We went to the Fontana Police Department and helped them set up for a safety fair. It was exciting :) I am almost pro at putting easy ups now. We were wearing our skirts and dresses and the elders were in their white shirts and slacks. It was great. Everyone was calling us elders and sisters, which was good. There were tons of non members there and we just had a blast helping them set up :) I enjoyed it a lot. We were also able to talk to some of our recent converts and help them strengthen their testimonies today. It was exciting :)
Sunday - Church!! It was good. We had an investigator there, which is always exciting :) We then got to go and teach a member present lesson for dinner and just had a good time. We got to meet a less active family and make two contacts with going to deliver birthday cards :) We also have some service opportunities to do and met some really good people.
It is so exciting to be a missionary. I am so blessed to be doing this work, and to be with the people that I am with. Sister Bullen is amazing and we get along great! I am so blessed!! Thank you so much for all of your support.
I love you all so much!! Have a wonderful week!!!! <3 <3 <3
Remember that God is always there. You are never alone. :)
