T. This week during studies I filled in my papers and I put a lot of thought and prayer into it so hopefully it is what the Lord wanted me to write down.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

This week I have thought a lot about the lessons I have learned and how much I have grown, it has been interesting to read my journal and to just see the growth, it has been weird but in a good way. It has been something that has shown me that the price we pay the 2 years is worth every second of it.</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Well a member this week told me a had 3 weeks left and so I corrected him! It is 4 its a lot more then 3!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But hope your all are doing well it has been fun up here in Paso with the fair in town lots of people coming to the fair and we cannot even go....</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But this is how my week went</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A. Well Paso Robles decided to have the state fair come to town so this week flew by fast again... but everyone was there after 3 we had a hard time finding things to do and to stay busy but we lived. We had a lot of less actives come to church yesterday, none of the weekly comers were there it was all less actives and we had about the same number as people as we do normally.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So this week we meet with Rosa and it was great we talked to her about coming back to church and she said she would try because she had this weekend off! She made it to church but didn't stay for the linger longer thing the branch did. We watched the mormon message "after the storm" and she seemed to enjoy it, it was great to watch it with her, the spirit was very strong.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We also meet with Cynthia this week and she has been having a tough time again she finally found a job and then Monday she got let go... it has been rough on her but she is working on finding a better job now instead of working on coming back to church.... she is great but she needs to learn that God will help her out in all of this! Maybe we should go over that this week!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
C. Elder Weiss is awesome he is very relaxed when its time to be, but he likes to work when its time to work and that has been a huge help this week!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
T. This week I have been going over ch. 6 in PMG and studying the christ like attributes and seeing what I need to work on this transfer I have set my goals and we will see what will happen next!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
S. So during the storm a members house got flooded and I, I mean -we- got to rip out the carpet and trash and ton of stuff, I didn't think I could throw a toilet as far as I did... it was great!! i a lot of fun!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It is was pretty great I threw the toilet like 15 feet it was pretty fun! maybe a should have taken pictures too but I did not take one!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So that is a picture of ice on our A/C to keep us from melting...</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

July 20, 2015<div>

<div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Well this week went by way to fast and that is not fair, I want a good solid transfer not a fly by.... but I will take what I get.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">This week has been awesome mainly because we can use the car again, but yep</span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">A. Paso Robles has been great Saturday night we got a crazy thunder storm and we couldn't sleep which made church even harder..... but we didn't fall asleep!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">So this week I have been taking Elder Weiss to meet all the people we could meet and we have had a pretty good week we met with Jose Tacuba and his daughter Martha twice and we started to read the Book of Mormon with them because they haven't been doing a good job of doing it themselves. We also met with Juana and she is doing a lot better then when we first met her but she isn't really interested at this moment in her life, she just wanted to practice what she has been learning with the JWs on us, but she has a long ways to go with them.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">We met up with a lot of the less actives in the branch this week and we made it a transfer goals to meet them all and to see how we can help them come back to church and back into activity. The biggest problem is that all of them work on Sundays so it is hard for them to come to church. Hopefuly we can work on that one and get some to come to church.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">C. Elder Weiss is what I needed for a companion, I have learned so much from him and its only been 1 week I cannot wait to see what else I can learn from him in the next transfer.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">T. This week it was been awesome, I have been able to reflect on what I have done as a missionary with some of my past companions and been able to set goal to make this transfer the best transfer every because - well every transfer needs to be better then the last one.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">S. This week we help a family move into there new home it was pretty great I miss moving heavy thing its so much fun!!!</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So I am staying in Paso and Elder Weiss is going to be my new companion!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A. Paso is doing awesome so a great/weird thing happened this week Elder Jones and I were lying in bed and then are phone started going off with text from a unknown number turns out it was the Branch Presidents son telling us to go see his friend Pepe, and then the next morning we were texting him and our ward mission leader calls us and said "you need to see Pepe" so now we were trying to see this "Pepe" but we can't find him, but he sounds like a solid referral and I am excited to find him,</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we did a lot of biking and it was great until we stopped then our legs just turned to stone.... we were able to have some good lessons with Frida and Lupita, they are doing good but are super busy all the time and they can be hard to find but we managed to catch them, but we talked with Frida about a lot of different things she was a lot of different questions and it was an awesome time to answer some of her questions about the word of wisdom and other commandment that we have, with Lupita we talked about the Book of Mormon and how important it is in our lives and hopefully she will start to read it.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A. Paso Robles is doing great it is been really hot this week we went out and did some biking and after an hour we had to go back in to change our shirts cause they were bad..... it was awful but after we got that taken care of we went back out to work but this time we walked so we wouldn't have to do it again...</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we had 2 exchanges, the first I went with Elder Waite into his area and so it was good we had dinner with a part member family and she is getting baptized on Saturday, so Elder Jones is interviewing her on Tuesday and Saturday will be awesome. Elder Waite is also having a brownie cook off with this person and round 1 he lost bad but everyone won cause we all got brownies.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Then I was with Elder Payne in my Area and it was a good exchange but no one was home and since it was the 4th no one wanted to talk to us.... they thought that we were JW and it was great.... but it was fun we got to meet with and awesome less active and part member family but they were English so.... it still on the lords team!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
C. Elder Jones is doing awesome he really wants to get transferred down to simi valley where he loves the branch but even if he stays here I know that he will work his butt off!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
T. This week I re-read the Saviors last week alive and then on Friday when we got the new that Boyd K Packer passed away. It was interesting I didn't feel sad or anything it was great I just knew that the Lord needs them somewhere else and that how it is.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Speaking of pictures I forgot the cord so it sucks to be you!! but the 4th was great the members bought some fire works and we lit them off - well they did. and since I had a suit that is wrecked... I thought it would be fun to well you'll see next week...</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Well it has been a great week here!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But this is what happened</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A. Paso Robles is doing awesome the members have been a huge blessing and have been able to help us out a lot sine the fact we cannot use the car... But we have been able to talk to a lot more people since we are not driving every where,</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we had some exchanges with the zone leaders and our district and they were all great exchanges!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
the first was with the zone leaders and I went down to slo (san luis Obispo) and it was just a funny day the first thing was doug a man that was referred from the sisters and then dinner, at dinner we were sitting down talking about something and then the member that came to eat with us asked me about the 5 lbs burger I ate 2 weeks ago.. so we talked about that and turns out he was there and it was super funny, and then Doug (we were talking to him) started to tell us that Jesus appeared to him and was twisting his beard so he know it was Jesus.... and so there we shared a scripture, 2 Nephi 25:26 and he said he is thankful we shared that scripture with him and then told us that he is the new jesus..... it was weird, so we prayed and left as soon as possible.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
the second was with Elder Magoon and that one was great it was a hard day but we made it though and we had a great lesson with a less active family and the spirit was very strong it was a solid lesson.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
the third was with Elder Rosenloft, it was a fun exchange we did and a lot of knocking and no one was home it was just one of those days but we had a great dinner message that I learned from the exchange with the zone leaders and we talked about testimonies of the book of Mormon, it was a great lesson!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
C. Elder Jones is great he is very humble and wants to work hard all the time! He is a great elder!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
T. This week I was reminded how important it is the share our testimony cause sometime it just takes one person to share their testimony to change someone's life forever!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
S. this week we did some yard work for someone who was a companion to a member in our ward.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

June 22, 2015</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Well this week has been a fun one, a lot of driving and walking too!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It has been in the 100's all week we love our cars A.C,</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />A. Paso is doing great, we have been getting a lot of help from members and it has been working out good. Saturday we went to see Cynthia but she wasn't home. We talked to her brother Edson, he is a less active member and we had a great talk and man did he brighten our day. It was great to see him and to be able to tell him that he should come back to the fold, he knows were he should be and everything but he just works too much to do it if he isn't working he is working out or playing soccer. But we are going to work with him more.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week we had a member of the Seventy Elder C. Scott Grow come and visit and it was great and a great reminder of hundreds of things! It was awesome to be able to listen to him and everything he talked about was great, when he talked about hope I thought - oh I never will need this - and then we ended up using what he said the next day in a lesson with Anna another less active member, we asked her what she wanted to know about and she said the law of chastity, so we talked about it and talked about blessing for living the commandments and then she asked about the word of wisdom and committed to quit using some drug she started to use. it was great and we were able to use what Elder Grow used to help her it was awesome. Plus a good eye opener for me.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Another awesome thing that happened is the car, we cannot use the car for a couple weeks, so we have been walking and biking in the sun. We have been able to work closer to the members and since walking to where everyone lives takes 2 hours we have been able to find people closer to our apartment and open up our teaching pool! We have found about 3 family that want us to come back, and 5 people that want us to come by as well. its been a blessing!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
C. Elder Jones has been a huge blessing after not being able to use the car I felt burdened to say the least and he was there to lift it me up and it has been great to see that.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
T. This week I learned that everything happens for a reason and sometimes that's a good reminder to think about how God is in the helm leading his work.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
S. This week we were able to stop by the food bank for a little bit we had appointments to go to so we could only stay for an hour but it was a fun hour!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Yep it has be a great week! This one well be even better!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So this week with elder grow we took some pictures! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Don't drive and throw gang signs!!! </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But I miss the smell of the ocean.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
and Elder Phillips went back home for medical stuff, so we went to see him in Morro Bay and found a sub....</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Hope you all have a great week I love you all have fun!!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Well this week I died but you'll read about it later!</span><div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>

<div>
A. Paso is doing great there are some fire here and there dang lighting storm.... oh well. but its been a fun week with a lot of heat. actually this week a member left for his mission he is going to do great we took him out with us a lot and he is as ready as any missionary I have seen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this week we saw Jose a couple of time it was been fun we have been trying to teach him how to read and it has been going great he gave him and his daughter (martha) a book of mormon the kid one with lots of pictures and they are reading that together and we can feel the change in the home it was been awesome!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we also had a super solid lesson with Cynthia and it was awesome we talked about trials and we read the story of Job and how he always trusted god in all that happened. it was a powerful lesson and then trying to set up a FHE (family home evening) with her and her best friends family well see what happens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so I have done the impossible, this week we had a member take us out to eat at a burger place, and on the menu they had a burger called the big one. it's a 5 lbs burger the member saw me look at it and told me that he has brought a ton of missionaries there and only 6 have tried it and none of him have finished the burger in under 30 minutes so its free or its $37.... he then told me that he thought I could do it and so I tried it, oh man he was excited, he called the ward members and the sister missionaries, and it was crazy, but 27 minutes and 52 seconds later i finished it and he started dancing and being well himself really he is awesome. But the coolest part was yet to come so I am sitting there and a kid and his mother came up to us and talked about how he watches a tv show called man vs food and he has always wanted to see someone finish the burger and that day, I made his dreams come true and we talked for a little bit, it was weird I never thought that eating a 5lb burger could bring someone to like missionaries!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. Elder Jones is awesome, very patience, very humble, very kind what more do you need in a companion?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. This week I learned that members make everything roll smoothly, we have been trying to find a less active named Hugo and so we knocked on his door yesterday and a van rolled in next door and 4 kids in there <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1210387024" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">sunday</span></span> best got out of the van and into the house and a father in his white shirt and tie followed and then a little kid who looked at us so I waved at him and he turned around took 2 steps and looked back and then he came to talk to us, but his dad came and got him but we know these people are either members or need to be so we knocked on their door and they were members so we talked to the dad about the neighbors and then he asked us to share a message with his family so we did and long story short they committed themselves to help us get the less active family to come back to church and the dad even speaks Spanish and everything is going great!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. This week we went to the food bank and bagged food for days!! </div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
well this summer is going to be hot and dry most of Paso can't water their lawns.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But other then it being hot, it was a great week!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A. Paso Robles is awesome, we have had a hot and rough week, it seems that everyone went to the beach and left us in paso.... we had a great week. We meet a girl named Martha this week she is Fridas sister we gave her a restoration pamphlet and asked her to read it and talked about it and so forth, but we didn't have a book of mormon on us... oops, but the next day we went by to talk to Frida, and she told us that Martha stole her book of mormon to read it... I love people who want to learn the gospel.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We also meet with some peoples mothers and watched a video with for a dinner message and they loved it and one of them came to church on sunday and it was awesome, now we just have to get the other one to come too and bring her less active daughter to come back to church! it would be awesome!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We also were able to meet up with the Villa family and read out of the Book of Mormon with then it was 2 awesome lessons and it worked out great! We talked about the Son of Helamen or the 2000 stripling warriors it was great but they didn't make it to church.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Then Friday Elder Jones desided to go to Oxnard with the other district leaders in the zone and left me with Elder Comin and Elder Peterson and boy was that fun we helped a member move into a house and an investigator move out of a different house it was a lot of fun!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
C. Elder Jones is awesome, he is doing his best to be his very best and it has been a journey up here some times with this district but it has been awesome to see it happen.</div>

T. well this week it was HOT long day every day and in the morning I hated the idea of getting out of bed because i knew what was going to come, 90+ it was awful but every day around 3 I felt a new source of energy and it was hard to stay out and work everyday but I am glad that I did it cause that "faith energy" is better then anything I have ever felt.</div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So it's transfer week and I am staying in Paso with Elder Jones which sucks cause now I don't get to see half my past companions go home....</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But, yep it's going to be great!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
A. Paso is doing awesome, we are making a lot of head way with some of our investigators. It is weird it is like they think we are going to hurt them or that we are the police and they are VERY shy for the first 2 lesson and then it's like they want us to come by, maybe I shouldn't have grown so big to make them more comfortable..... Like one of our investigators Lupita she tried to keep her distance and wouldn't really answer questions but know she wants us to come by, it was been great and she said she would help us with our spanish. She is awesome she is a senior in high school and she has a 3 month old baby boy, were not sure where the dad is but we dont think he is there with her. She loves to learn more about Jesus Christ and is starting to read when ever she is done homework and is done taking care of the baby because he is sleeping she was shown me that it is a rough life out side the gospel! I could never imagine going through that, people are awesome.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have been working with Cynthia and she is taking baby steps we have been trying to get her to pray about what she should do next but it hasn't been working. But hopefully we can help her out more, this week we read out of preach my gospel with her in chapter 5 (the holy ghost) and it was really good and we had a great lesson and we learned that we just need to go over the basics with her and take it a lot more slow because we were going to fast for her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. well Elder Jones is great I have said it many times but it is true, I cannot wait to stay with him for another 6 weeks it will be good!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. Well this week was a week of firsts, mainly translating english into spanish during stake conference it was fun! but it built my testimony about the gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues, because I had no clue what the people wanted to say in their talks I just tanslated what I understood and added my thoughts to it, it was good. i only got 2 complaints first that I spoke to far into the mic, second that I spoke to closely into the mic.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. this week we went to the food bank again and i went noodling.... for lettuce it was buried under lettuce leafs it was very fun, and now I want to go fishing.... but it will have to wait cause there is no water here...... its great</div>
</div>

<div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">well hello there!</span><div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It has been a great week and we found a TON of tanks, it was awesome.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
A. well this week we went on a hand full of exchanges it has been very good. We had some solid lesson with Cynthia this week and they were awesome. The first one was with Elder Toa and we talked about small and simple thing and I failed the lesson - of counting all the "f"s in 1 nephi 1:1 it has a good one and I even learned things, and then we talked about prayer, it was very good. The prayer lesson was with Elder Fyffe, it was a good lesson as well and she commented on praying about going on a mission and hopefully that goes well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Exchanges went very well with Elder Toa we found a couple of great solid people and it was an awesome day. Then with Elder Fyffe we had a good day, but appointments fell through and it was just rough... but it was very fun!!! and then with Elder Goad in the english ward it was awesome we found some people to talk to and it was an awesome day!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the people we found on exchanges was Liz. The sisters wrote that there was a awesome guy and no name so we tried it and she opened and wanted to learn more about our church. and so we talked and it was awesome!! we are going back this week to follow up on her reading!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. well out of all the companions I have had this week, I missed Elder Jones the most. It was been awesome working with him and hopefully it doesn't end next week but I would love to be at transfer meeting to see all my friends leave, well mixed feelings - I would and I wouldn't. its a rough life....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. this week I learned that English Elders can't speak spanish.... and that when they do testify of what they think you taught it still invites the spirit and it was awesome to see the spirit working through the language barrier.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. this week we sorted rotten apples from good one at the food bank.. it was awesome!!!</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
On exchanges with Elder Fyffe we missed the turn and almost left the mission area but we turned left and found a ton of tanks and a chinook heli flying around so we took pictures acted like spies and left... it was fun.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

A. this week has been great!! we had a lot of lessons and a lot of success and a lot of great journal entries. so to start out the week we had a dinner with a part member family in the branch and it was great we talked about honoring our parents (the day after mothers day) and then we went to go see another part member family and we watched the mountain of the lord with them it was great they had a lot of questions about temple that the movie answered better then we could.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It was a great start to a great week... Then we were eating dinner and we asked the son about to leave on his mission if he wanted to come with us to see an investigator, unfortunately the appointment with her fell though, so we tried a former named Mario, we knocked on the door and long story short he died on the 4th so we talked to the family about the plan of salvation, they are shaken up about it so we said a prayer with them and will stop by this week to see what we can do for them. but then Fabi (the member) asked if we have seen Jose, we haven't seen him in a while so we stopped by his house and had another great lesson with him, and it was great to get our minds off of what just happened...</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It has been an awesome week with a lot of awesome things going on, the last one is Nelly, Sunday we were in Shandon knocking through the potentials list and then we had to go to San Miguel to pick our ward mission leader to bring to dinner so we could go inside so we headed over then via back roads so we didnt have to go to paso and then to san miguel and we were going to get there super early so we tried Nelly who lives out in the back roads and we had a great lesson with her about prayer to seek revelation she is going through a tough time in school and trying to figure things out it was awesome and filled in the time for traveling faster then we thought.</div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
T. this week we did a zone activity and it was a lot of fun but one thing the happened is when I was blindfolded on the hike I couldn't hear Elder Jones so I kept on trekking up the hill and when I started to feel grass rub against my leg a realized I shouldn't be there and I found my way to the path and then I heard him say stop so I stopped and turns out in my journey on the grass on the way there Elder Jones was telling my to stop but I didn't hear it and then I ran into an elder, didn't feel it and he went down (fell over) and then I hit grass and got back on the path and hear him tell me to stop. but what i learned is when we don't listen to the spirit or in my case elder jones we get off the path and sometimes we take others with us and knock them off the path... but we always need to find our way back to the path.</div>

May 11, 2015<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
well how is it going? good great!!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ok well this week was awesome and were is what happened!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
A. Paso is doing awesome! something I learned this week is that the full name of Paso Robles, is the city of el paso de los robles. which i thought was funny!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
but we had a less active we have been working with invite us to watch her play soccer and we were in the area and stop by for a second and i guess we were bad luck charms cause her wrecked her ankle, well not to badly but she won't be playing soccer for a couple weeks, but since I played football for awhile, I semi know how to take care of injured limbs. We helped her tape it up and taught her the basics of treatment and I gave her some of my good icy hot to feel better she says she is doing a lot better.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
but thats not the point, she is so hard to meet up with cause she is always playing soccer and now she can't so we had a couple super solid lessons with her this week and she said she will pray about going on a mission and work on reading PMG to learn more about what we and her best friend do from day to day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we also had a investigator come to church he is in a part member family the parents are less active and she wanted to feed us this week but after a lesson with the son this week we learned that he is totally ready for baptism but his dad is not ready to baptize him. so we are going to start focusing on the dad. and go from there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. Elder Jones is awesome and he has a great family too. but this week a learned a lot about Elder Jones that I would never have thought of in my live, there is a member who is really good at reading people and there personalities we talk to him for 5 minutes and he know us just about as good as our parents do it was super cool and he talked about what it means and what we do and even talked about what type of person were going to marry, that was the weirdest part but we will see in a couple years.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. well this week something happened yesterday at church.... the speakers didnt show up both of them..... so the branch president said he will talk for a second and then open it up for other people to talk, so I being a missionary thought oh I better get something together to share just in case and then I learned that there are so many great stories of mothers in the scriptures and thats awesome there is: eve, mary, the mothers of the stripling warriors, emma was also a faithful mother and wife, and then sariah. the list is endless and it was a great talk I prepared and didn't even use because the president talked for the whole hour and he did a good job too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. this week we did some volunteer work at the food bank and it was a ton of fun! and smelly too!!!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so guess what i found my camera!! but i never lost it!!</div>
<div>
so that is lake nacimiento to get to the northern part (were people live) we have to leave the mission for 2 miles. it was fun going up there though</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
well have a great day!!</div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Well the first week in Paso wasn't bad at all!</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">A. Paso Robles is awesome the branch here is great. but I suck at names, but I am good with faces! Here I have meet a couple of less actives and investigators and I will talk about one that I can put a name to the face.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Cynthia is a daughter of a member, she is less active, her best friend is serving a mission and I forgot to ask where but her dad LOVES to talk to us. When we try to teach her he comes and tries to talk to us and then Cynthia tries to leave so we went for a walk and to talk with her and we talked about her and her life. Boy has she changed in the past 2 transfers, she talked about how 3 months ago she would have told the missionaries to leave her alone, and not very politely, but she talked about how she has always loved Jesus and went through a lot of tough times. God helped her through it. and then we talked about missionary service and if that is something she wants to do, she didn't say yes but she didn't say no, so we have our work cut out for us!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">but the branch here is awesome they are very close to each other the ward mission leader was a missionary 2 years ago and is very good and doing what he is doing and helping us out with our investigators it just a great place to be and its going to be fun here!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px; outline: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">C.

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Well I am leaving Newbury.... as much as I dont want to!</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But I will be going to Paso Robles into a Spanish Branch.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But that's not all, last night we had a mission wide fire side and we had someone show up.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
His name starts with a D and end with avid Arculeta, yes David Arculeta came and visited our mission!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But this is how the week went:</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
A. well my last week in Newbury park was great I learned a very awesome skill, Baking. A less active member taught me how to bake Tres Leches and it was super fun and they even came to church this past Sunday! It was awesome I love Mexican food.</div>
<div>
<br />
As it is my last day here, which sucks... I love this place so much, all the people I meet like Angel and his family, the Rivera family and Zeya, Elena, Rodolfo and many many more and plus I hate goodbye and suck at saying them. The thing I learned from these people is incredible, from Angel I learned that anything is possible even when the odds are stacked against you, the Rivera family taught me how to love and support each other and how to suck it up and HIT, from Rodolfo I learned that there is never a dull moment in life and if you think there is just look around you and see all the beauty there is in this earth.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The members here are awesome. Seth is awesome, he is doing his very best to prepare himself to serve a mission by inviting his entire football team to play basketball with us. Our ward mission leader bro Judd is working so hard to get the ward leader to do their jobs with us to work as one, our unit leader bro Jensen is just full of love for every person that we need to help. Those are only a couple of examples about how this area is the greatest or one of the greatest areas in this mission.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But as good as Newbury is I hope Paso will be the same.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. Well Elder Berg is awesome we got to go to the temple on his birthday and it was just a fun day he is awesome and I hope he works hard for his last transfer he is entering.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. Well last night with bro. David Arculeta it was awesome, the spirit was very strong, I thought it was super cool when he sang the last song "glorious" because I could tell that song means a lot to him and he loved to be a missionary he has done a lot of missionary work both before and after his mission. Well during his mission as well! I can do the same. and I will.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. This week we helped our ancestors in the temple. But we also helped Jim clean up his back yard.</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Yep it was awesome this week was great : temple, Davie, and a lot of fun!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
ok we have Seth and his father, and then his family. the Warne family. and the temple</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
See you around!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

well this is my week!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
A. well I LOVE Newbury Park this was been one of my favorite areas so far. What is really wierd about that is that this is such a slow area and it a lot of hard work. Which normally I get tired of pretty fast but it seems to me that my faith booster fuel supply was been awesome here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week we had exchanges and I went with Elder Gaylor and we just went to las casitas it was awesome! We talked to everybody we crossed paths with, we did a little service, we went to go see some members who moved and see if they needed anything it was just a great day. Then we went to see Zeya. who said she would get baptized in the future but isn't sure if she is ready for that step now, which is good but the sooner the better right! We are going to focus on her this week and see what happens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week we talked with Elena, she is a former - she got really sick so we couldnt see her- and on the exchange I thought we could stop by and see if she is around and she was feeling awesome is what she told us and that she wants us to start teaching her again and then she made us some tamales which were awesome.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. Well elder Berg was been awesome I really hope we can stay together this transfer. That would be great, he is just awesome, he doesn't say much but you can tell he is always thinking about stuff and hopefully its good stuff which I am sure it is!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. Well this week I had my patience tested, we set up a tv with chrome cast to watch part of conference during <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1862085134" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> school and all we needed to do was hit play and it would have started to play, but some of the members -bless there hearts- thought that we wanted to tv on the other side of the room. and unplugged the tv and then moved it over there. which then turned everything off and then when we were setting it up again, a member thought she could help by putting the cords on the tv stand and well she lifted up the power bar to move it she turned it off........ and we had to start the whole set up process over again. Now many of you who knew me would know i would have got VERY annoyed at that but yesterday everything was fine. and I realize that I have changed a LOT. which is good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. This week we helped someone trim their tree so it could fit into a fire place.</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It was a lot of fun best part about it is a member went to canada to visit his girl friend and brought my some caramilks!!!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
and so last week p day we went to the m.a.s.h. site so here are some pictures, never watched to show but some of you older people might have, a member said its also on netflix if you want to watch it</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
but have a great week!</div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">well this week was awesome!!</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
And this is what happened.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
A. Here in the los Robles Spanish unit it seems that something isn't clicking. People come to church, they show up, but through out the week we see them doing thing that they shouldn't be doing and I am sick and tired of it. We have talked to everybody we can find, we knock on doors and we do a lot of service, but there isn't a lot of stuff happening, and then the weird thing happens, I am not upset about it, it is just fine. I love it in fact. I really hope that I can stay here longer, if I could get my wish, until I finish my mission. Something that has happened to me to this point, is as long as I am doing the thing I am supposed to do, then everything else just falls into place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week we had an awesome opportunity to talk with Angel and talk about what he is doing with his life, his body has fallen apart because of his choices and he knows that he was been a member for almost his whole life and wasn't been living it, but Elder Berg and I needed a ride to the temple and he seemed like the perfect person to take us, well his wife would drive because he is very blind. We were able to talk to him about temple blessings and how he should set a goal to go there someday it was great!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this week being General Conference we watched it all alone in the church, there was less then 10 members who showed up to watch it with us, but we had an investigator text us after the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1386432897" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> sessions were over and she said she loved it and that Elder Zabellos talk was her favorite. It was awesome!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. Elder Berg this week has been coming down with something, cold or something similar. but he was never complained or anything and we worked pretty hard this week it was good!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. Well the big question that I brought to conference is: what is the most important thing to do after my mission. and every person talked about the answer it was very clear to me what I should do. I really enjoyed elder M Russel Ballard's I thought it was cool how he talk about raising the bar for new missionaries and here i am and now he wants us to raise the bar for when we get home it was pretty cool to think about.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. This week we help move a barn... yep a barn! Well unload the barn for the trailer and stack all the wood together it was pretty fun!!</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
so general conference was great. everything else is great and it going to be funny!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So to the family who want to send me something for my birthday, the 21st is a transfer day so I might not be here in Newbury so if you want to send something send it to</div>

A. Newbury Park is awesome I never want to leave I really hope I can finish my mission here, the people are incredible and the ward is awesome! This week we had a couple lessons with Jenny and we talked to her about general conference and watch the women's broadcast and she said she loved it and she has been reading the book of mormon and is doing awesome she knows it is true but her dad doesn't let her out of the house much so were going to bring over some young women leaders to meet him so he might feel more comfortable with her going!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We almost had a huge miracle I have been thinking about how we are going to do work outside this place called las casitas and then we got 6 referrals from the los robles sisters and they are mostly solid, one of them is solid but it was still awesome to get some more people to teach we still have to contact a couple of them but it is great! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. Well it seems the more Elder Berg and I are together the more we realize that we have a lot of the same interests, which is pretty cool because he is an awesome dude and to be honest, I didn't give him a fair chance the mission has changed him a lot from beginning to the end and I hope it was changed me too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. This week I got a package from one of my neighbors who I don't even think I really met, but it was awesome! They gave me a little Easter egg full of things that represent something that happened this week almost 2000 years ago. It was been an awesome dinner message and study topic!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. Well this week we helped a member clean their house and put window visors on there car. it was pretty fun!</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div>
So this week was been very awesome, we had a great time with a lot of communicating with other missionaries to get work done!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But this is how it went! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A. the los Robles unit is doing awesome we have started to work outside of the los Robles ward as an out reach to find new investigators, for some reason the missionaries never left the los Robles ward when we cover three English wards.. So we have been doing that and seeing miracles in that as well!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have also been trying to work with the Hermanas in the other side of the stake to re-draw areas cause we had 2 different lines (one for investigators and one for less actives) and so we got that figured out and there is a new energy in the unit they are excited to have the Hermanas there its going to be great! When I started my mission I never knew there was so much stuff behind the scenes in missionary work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But on that note we had a great time this week we found another less active family that moved into our area and they are awesome but very shy... that's always fun, trying to figure out who everyone is and how there related to one another, and no one says anything. but it was good because half of them came to church!! it was awesome they said they will bring the other half this week!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. Elder Berg is awesome, he is super funny, this week we have been having a blast and he really isn't as different then he seem to be at first!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
T. this week we got zone goals (put into action) and I studied my patriarchal blessing and I discovered that I really am a big lump of clay right now and I could be made into many different things and do anything really, well as long as the Lord wants it to happen!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S. We got a call from bishop this week and he has a friend of a friend who needed help moving and they had started packing and had 4 days to get out of the house..... it was very fun and a lot of hard work and it was exactly what I wanted to do this week move some stuff around!</div>
