BFF's with a General 70 & his wife

Sept 4 - 12

My oh my, this week has been insane!

Mon:  We had P-day! We went shopping as a district so that was fun!

Tue:  11 MONTHS! Whoot! Whoot!  We had our very first MLC (missionary leadership council)  it was so cool to see all the behind the scenes work behind missionary work.  Because we were gonna pass Ventura on the way home, (we both served in Ventura 4th ward) so we got permission to go visit a less active family that we had both worked with! It was so cool to surprise them and see them. 💖

Wed:  We went on exchanges with the San Luis Obispo YSA Sisters!  I went with Sister Madder, she's awesome!  This is her 1st transfer, so it was fun to go back and teach the basics of missionary work.  

Thu:  Today was a struggle.  We had 4 appointments cancel so our day went differently than planned.  But it's all good.  One really cool thing was, we were making banana bread and right as it was done we found out that our district leader had bronchitis.  So we decided to bring them the banana bread that we made.  It was slightly sad that we didn't get any, haha, but hey serving someone felt 10x better!

Fri:  Today went a little crazier than planned.  We think we ha bed bugs from someone we visited this week.  So we had to go to the store and buy bug bombs.  Then let them off in our apt. While those were going off, we had to wash our sheets and stuffed animals.  In between the washing cycles we would go visit people.  Then we had our interviews with our mission president and his wife in our apt!  Luckily we got it all taken care of before they came.  But AWWW! They're so great!  They even helped us make our beds when our sheets were finished being washed.  ðŸ’—

Sat:  We found 2 new investigators today!  Daniel and Marcus, they both have the desire to learn more and want to find "TRUTH".  It was a really cool lesson where they both testified of a loving Heavenly Father.  We can't wait to teach them again!  We had Stake Conference tonight and got to spend time with Elder and Sister Schwitzer  (He;s in the 70) We showed them the restoration cup song, the loved it!  President and Sister Nakken were there too. Man what a good day.  Also I heard from a member that loves me that UTAH beat BYU!!! All good things happened today!

Sun:  Well Stake Conference 2.0 happened this morning.  So we spent a good portion of the day with Elder Schwitzer again.  Lemme tell ya, those two are amazing.  Then we had dinner with a less active family in the ward and talked all about their missions that they served when they were younger.  Then we had a lesson with another less active family which also went well.

Mon:  Today we had another MLC!  But this time Elder and Sister Schwitzer were with us and Elder Wakolo.  They taught us so much!  Then we ate lunch and drove 3 hours home.  By that time we only had time for dinner and studies and to visit 3-4 people.

Tue:  Mission tour/Zone conference!  Oh my goodness, it was so good!  We again of to spend most of our day (4 days in a row)  with Elder and Sister Schwitzer and Elder Wakolo and they told us that we are practically family now!  ðŸ’– It was really cool!  I loved this weekend so much and it was so sad to say goodbye to them!  I'll never forget the things that were shared this weekend,  I can testify that I know that the message we share is TRUE!
God loves his children so much and he has shown it through the restoration of Christ's gospel and though the Book of Mormon.  






















The kids sent her hidden Mickey cupcakes.  So glad they made it in one piece!
