Butterfield Stage/Temecula Valley YSA Week 5 - Exchange miracles and Visitors at church

This last week was really good! A lot happened and we got a lot of stuff done! 

Tuesday: had a lesson with a less active recent convert in the YSA ward, Lawrence. It was good! He is working 2 jobs, but he is going to try to make more of an effort to come to church. At least to sacrament.Tuesday: had a lesson with a less active recent convert in the YSA ward, Lawrence. It was good!

Wednesday: I was on exchanges with Elder Castleton in our area. That was awesome! We had service in the morning. We organized food that was donated to this organization. After we had a lesson with Mike, a recent convert in the family ward. He is doing good! He is such a smart guy and is reading the Book of Mormon for the second time. After we met with the Butters, a part member family. Janet, the nonmember wife, said she wanted to take the lessons again. She has some hang ups, but I think she is just confused with a couple things. We will teach her on Thursday this week.Wednesday: I was on exchanges with Elder Castleton in our area. That was awesome!

We also got in with the Luceros. The Luceros are active, but their daughter Sarah is super less active. She is like 17 and is very against the church at this point. The Luceros asked us to come by ever Wednesday just to bring the spirit in their house.We also got in with the Luceros. The Luceros are active, but their daughter Sarah is super less active.

Thursday we had Zone conference. I really enjoyed it. Except I had to conduct the meeting. That wasn't my favorite. But that night we had dinner at the Murphy's. They invited a nonmember family of 4, the Lobles and we taught them the restoration! I don't know if they were really feelin it, but they were super nice and sounded like they might want to do it again!Thursday we had Zone conference. I really enjoyed it.

Friday we had exchanges with the assistants. That was fun! I got to work with Elder Romney for the first half and then Elder Ruhl for the second. I learned a lot and enjoy working with them.Friday we had exchanges with the assistants. That was fun! I got to work with Elder Romney for the first half and then Elder Ruhl for the second.

Sunday was busy! Also, I had a surprise visit from Aunt Rebecca, Hannah, and Ella at church! They were at Disneyland for a race this weekend and they are friends with the Smiths in our ward. So they say they were there to visit the Smiths, but I still felt pretty special. It was cool! We also had a lesson with Maddy Neugart. Her baptism was announced in sacrament. She is solid! 

Monday we got in with a bunch of less active and part member families. Maddy Neugart passed her baptismal interview and we had a fun dinner with some members of the YSA ward and Liz. A bunch of us have birthdays this month so we celebrated.

I just want to say thank you for all the support I have gotten over the last month. I appreciate the letters, emails, packages, but most importantly the prayers. Being sick on and off over the last 6 months I have learned that it's okay to ask for help and the power of prayer. I've learned to be more patient with myself and with things I can't control. I hope I'm able to get over the pneumonia quickly and that I will be done with it! But I really appreciate each of you! Love you!
