Dear Family,
This week was a pretty good one. I forgot my planner, so we are going totally by memory today. We will see how this goes :)
Monday - We had half p-day!! We got all of our laundry done, and the normal things. I wrote 3 letters, which was pretty amazing :) We didn't do our email though because it was labor day. While I was in school I loved those holidays, but now when it means having the library closed, it just messes things up :P It was pretty good :) That night we had a little labor day celebration. We went to a members home and had a BBQ, and just talked. There was a couple non members so we took time to get to know them. I really enjoyed it :) We also went to the park that night to write some cards. While we were there, we had a lady walk up to us. We started talking about the parks in Fontana with her. She asked us where we were from and we started talking. We ended up talking about missions. She thought that mom and dad were on a mission in Saudi and I said no but that I was. We talked a lot about God. We found out that her grandparents were baptized and when she was visiting them when she was younger she saw Joseph Smith in the bible. It was really cool to talk with her. :) It was a productive day, and was a lot of fun.
Tuesday - We had district meeting. We made cinnamon rolls for it and had those. It was a really good meeting. We were able to do an amazing roll play. It is always so exciting to be doing one of those and feel the Spirit. It was really neat. Then we got to come and email. It was fun to talk with people :) I like emailing :) Then we went and saw some of our people we are teaching. I don't remember all the details. The days blur into one sometimes. :)
Wednesday - We did service!! We helped one of out ward members clean her home. She was sick all week last week, and it didn't get done, so we came over and helped her out. It looked so good when we were done!! I love cleaning and seeing a difference in the before and after :) It is fun for me :) I don't remember much else.. Oops. I really need to remember my planner...
Thursday - We did weekly planning!! It was really good. We were able to figure out some of the people we wanted to see this coming week and did a really good job planning. That night we went to one of our recent converts/investigators home. We were going to try and teach a lesson but ended up doing service. I now know how to clean a pool!!! It was one of those above ground ones, and we drained all the water out of it. They hadn't cleaned it in a while and it turned green, so we cleaned it for them :) Well, with them :) it was a lot of fun. Then we got ice cream. Their grandma has an ice cream truck and gave us permission to get an ice cream for free, it was fun :) We did get to share a spiritual thought, which is always nice :)
Friday - We Went and visited people. We tried doing service for people and we worked with them. It was fun. That night we were hoping to get missionaries to go do service at a high school football game, but alas, it didn't happen. We ended up seeing some of our non members and working with them. It was really good. :)
Saturday - I had a baptism!! Not in Fontana though. Kristen, my investigator in Redlands, got baptized!! I was able to go and see that. It was a lot of fun to go and see her be baptized. Sister Bullen was with our recent convert and then still did missionary work in our area. It was fun for the sister she was with. We then tried seeing some people, and were working with them. We wrote birthday cards and delivered them. We had an amazing dinner!! It was with a family that the parents are both return missionaries. It was a lot of fun to talk with them about their missions and the experiences they had. I enjoyed it a lot. We found out that night that our less active family is moving. They are going to be out of the house that they are staying in by Wednesday. It is really sad. The kids don't want to leave Fontana, but the mom is struggling with being here. It will be really hard.
Sunday - Church!!! It is always so good :) We had our meeting at the church at 8:30, then church at 11. We then had dinner with our ward mission leader and stopped by some of our people.
This week was a really good week. I am excited to see what it going to happen this coming week!!!
I love you all so much!! Have a wonderful week!! You are all in my prayers!!!
