Good luck on reading your scriptures. I am reading through the Old Testament right now lol it is way hard so wish me luck also. Thanks for feeding the missionaries you will be blessed for it.
150 dollars a month is plenty if we are fed every night. When we aren't fed we are in trouble. I'm making it fine though just eating a lot of chef boyardee, Mac and Cheese, and Tomato Soup. That is basically my diet right now lol.
I haven't gotten a package yet so I will probably get this Thursday. Thanks so much for sending me all this stuff. :) your amazing.
Jess did tell me you were buying her a card. Did you get my B-day card to you? That is crazy about the wind storm though. I wish I was there to see those trees be brought down. I hated going and sucking up those leaves when it was so so cold outside lol. Clare told me that Jaylen did awesome at he tryouts and that everyone agrees that she is going to be on Varsity. Tell her good job and that I am proud of her. Clare is doing well I don't know if I told you that her Grandpa died at 61 years of age. It was sudden and unexpected so she is trying to go through that right now.
What has been your favorite missionary dinner at a member's house?
Probably at the Rockers!!! That is really their legit last name. They have one son that is 16 years old. Is amazing at guitar. They love classic rock and have been to a billion concerts so I got to talk to them and they told me about Alice Cooper concerts and and what not. We also had Thanksgiving at the Keesters which was amazing she was a wonderful cook. He is a surgeon and has found the cure for scoliosis. He also takes trips down to panama to find the brass plates because he thinks that he is close to finding Moroni's library down there.
Where did you watch the General pres. Christmas message?
We aren't allowed to.
Have you gotten your white pants fixed yet?
Yes I have and they cost 17.50 :( it's okay though everything is super expensive.
Have you seen a store called Trader Joe's. That is my dream store. What is it like? I really want to go to one.
We go to it every week almost. They actually are pretty cheep and they have almond milk which Elder Catmul drinks because regular milk makes his stomach flip flop. They are such a hippie store though with organic this and organic that. You would like that store. We are lucky to have one in our area because we aren't allowed outside our area.
I guess I'll go through a regular schedule for us. I will use this last Saturday Dec. 3 as an example. Also attached are some pics of my zone and president and sister Bowen and our Stake President and his wife.
So we wake up at 6:30 and go and work out for thirty min. I usually do pull-ups, sit-ups, and push-ups. A lot of "ups" I guess. Then we only have one shower so we take turns showering while the other one eats. then at 8:00 after we get all ready and all dressed we have an hour of personal study. Then at 9:00 we have two hours of comp study. We would normally only have one hour but because I am training we get two. Then at 11:00 we have an hour lunch. At twelve we go out. On tuesday we knocked houses in the Triangle till 1:00, Then from 2:00 to 5:00 we knocked streets in turtle rock stopping back at the apartment first to use the rest room. Then from 5:00 to 6:00 we went and visited Less Active members to try and get them to come back to church. Then from 6:00 to 7:00 we went to our dinner appointment with the Ryersons and shared a message with them and invited them to pray and think about someone we could teach in their home. Then from 7:00 to 9:00 we contacted students up on UCI campus. Then at 9:00 we head back home and from 9:00 to 9:30 we plan out our next day. Then from 9:30 to 10:30 we get ready for bed then we got to bed at 10:30 and wake up and do the same thing. Sometimes we have teaching appointments during the day. They don't go more than an hour or so. I love contacting the most. That is when you don't knock on people's houses but walk up and down streets talking to people walking because I like chasing down people when they take awkward paths to avoid me. I have seen old ladies risk their lives crossing the street full of trafic to make sure she didn't have to walk by us. I just laugh and chase after her. I give everyone a pass along card :) Things are going good though.
So remember those free pair of shoes I was suppose to get from Missionary Mall. I just got them this last Thursday lol. They are really nice shoes and I wear them every Sunday because my other ones are all scuffed up because we walk so much in them. It is a bit late that they sent those though lol. Just took em like three-four months.
Love you guys and miss you tons. Pray about some one you all know and invite them to be taught in your home by the missionaries. Doesn't have to be a big thing just invite them like this. "Hey we were having the missionaries over at 3:00 next Tuesday and they were going to share a message with us. We would love it if you and your family could join us." I give you guys a challenge to do that during these next two months. It is so great for missionaries to be able to teach in a member's home. The spirit is already there and the investigators don't feel defensive because they are comfortable because you are there. So pray to know who you should invite and call in get in touch with the Elder's on this! I love you guys so much. Stay strong and be wonderful, read and pray every day!!.
