Last week's letter (June 20)

Monday. Monday for district activity we went ice skating! It was a

blast. Of cool air ;)

Tuesday - We had splits with the zone leaders and I was with Elder

Fakatou again! We had fun, but it was kind of a long day because we

didn't have very many lessons, and the ones we did cancelled on us.

But on the bright side we got to talk to a ton of people on the street

and have a couple doorstep lessons!

Wednesday - Wednesday we had a mission tour! It was pretty awesome! We

talked about the Book of Mormon and its importance in understanding

the gospel of Jesus Christ! The book is true and the church is blue?

Something like that ;)

Thursday - we were supposed to have a bunch of lessons but almost all

of them cancelled :( we had a coordination lunch with one of the

senior couples here in Magna! We also did weekly planning and elder

gee says we poured out our souls to each other, but I like to call it

the weekly rage session (companion inventory:)  just kidding, we're

still getting along great!

Friday was a crazy day cuz we had another blitz! We also had three

lessons planned really close together! We had to go on splits to make

all the lessons, but man, it is so hard sometimes to get members to

help us! And then of course we had some cancellations. But it was

still a blast! Got to talk to a lot of new people and have some fun

with some RMs from our ward.

Saturday for our morning workout we went to the local high school

field and played some football! We went with a couple of the other

elders in our zone, it was pretty fun!We were supposed to do some

service afterward, but it ended up getting cancelled, so we finished

our studies instead. We had a lesson planned with a lady in the

trailer park, but that got cancelled too! Too many cancellations...but

it's okay because afterward I got to go to lunch with John Jensen and

Marc Meredith!!! It was definitely the highlight of my week :) we ate

at cafe rio and had a good time talking. Afterward we came back and

tried to see if the appointment from that morning had returned home

and also made a bunch of other visits. For dinner we had a ward party

to celebrate Father's Day, and then made a couple last visits to some

less actives and non members to remind them to come to church.

Sunday Hermana Alicia came to church! It's been a long time. She has

been changing a lot since beginning to read the Book of Mormon. It's

cool to see :)

Sorry about the short letter this week! More to come next time. Love you all!
