 Hey mom.

So Monday.

On Monday we had a Noche De Hogar (Family Home Evening) at Bishops house. The Sarabias came and they had a lot of fun! We made some brownies and we had a lot of fun there. Bishop did a lesson about the Word of Wisdom. He did a really good job. Other than that it was pouring when we left the library so we got soaked and decided to just ride through all the puddles. 

Tuesday.

We had the Youth Missionary Activity. We had all the youth come and everyone got a call letter and name tag. We put them in companionship's and had some little workshops and it was almost like we were in the MTC. Elder Twitchell and I had a work shop on how to do door approaches. We had the young men in with us first and they didn't take any of it seriously and just joked through the entire role plays but the YW did awesome! It surprised us how well they did. We had Renevato on the other side of the door for them and he was super impressed to. They young women had a lot of fun doing it even though a few didn't get into the house they learned a lot. 

Wednesday.

We did some service with Hno. Martinez. Tore apart some couches. It was good to get out and do some service again. After we got done we went to In-n-Out. It was super good. Probably the best fast food burger I've ever had in my life!! They need to make some of those back home. 

Friday.

Walked all day. Had almost no lessons. I might lose some weight if we keep it up like this haha. We found 3 new investigators though. They are 3 brothers, their mom is a less active member named Maritza, and the boys are Randy(13), Joshua(11) and Kevin(9). They want to get baptized we just haven't been able to because they don’t have permission from their dad. But we are working on it. 

Saturday.

So we rode down to Bloomington to try a Referral. We find the house, knock the door, but she's not interested. We decided to knock some of her neighbors and while we are doing that we get a call from our ward mission leader to come to his house for the Correlation Meeting. So we ride all the way up there and have a short meeting and then they pull out a cake because its Elder Twitchells birthday!

So we had some cake and then we left.

Sunday was more or less the same as usual. Noelia, Maggy, and Charlie came to church. Had a good time. We have a family home evening with them tonight at the Toriz home. Hopefully everything goes good!

Gotta Run!

Have a great week!
