This week was really good! A lot happened. The ambrocios were baptized, we had a thanksgiving dinner for the ward with white people food and we had the privilege to give a bunch of blessings!
Last Monday we did straight nothing. Just got music for my usb and watched face to face events.... it sucked. After p day ended we went and had a lesson with the Ambrocio family finishing up their lessons!
Tuesday we had to go to the Westwood building to give a training to the new missionaries. After it was over us and the Farsi elders (elder Kramer) went and got in n out! Man I miss Elder Kramer. After the lunch we came back to our area and worked for a little but then went back over to the Ambrocio to set up their baptismal interview! Then exchanged with the Adams ward elders
Wednesday I was with Elders Seipel and Frigetto! It was weird cause Elder Frigetto is going home this transfer, I like to think I am in the middle and Elder Seipel only has a month in the mission. It was a good exchange! Enjoyed helping these elders out! Elder Galli had a pretty stressful day he called me and said we needed to exchange early cause hermana Ambrocio needed to have her interview from President Haynies counselor.. plus on top of that we both had to give baptismal interviews. So we exchanged early went to one interview at 6 then to the others 7:30 then up to the visitor center for hermana Ambrocios at 8:30. Her interview went way late so we had to wait for the next day to do her daughters.
Thursday we had to wake up early for zone conference. It was good! Learned a lot and felt the spirit! After hermana Ambrocio told us she wasn’t feeling well so we went over and gave her a blessing, then came back an hour later with our district leader and gave Ximena her baptismal interview.
Friday was full of service. We had to get up early again. We went and served at a food bank that missionaries go to once a week. Friday was their annual turkey give away so there was a line Around the corner to get a turkey. We were wearing the yellow helping hands vests. We were on crowd control making sure the line was good and no one was cutting in. Felt like Ron Swanson and the people from parks and rec answering the stupid questions the people from the city had... literally some of the dumbest questions. Grateful I got to go serve there tho! Right after that we went right over to change a less actives tire and paint her house. She made us lunch it was gross. It was fun to do something different! After that we went and just talked with the familia Ambrocio
Saturday we went and gave a blessing to our baptismal date cause he wasn’t feeling well then went and gave another blessing to a less actives boyfriend who sliced open his foot at work. He showed me it. It was cool. After we went over and hermana Ambrocio still wasn’t feeling well. We just promised her that if she has faith she will feel ready for the next day. We told her to put all of her faith and trust in the lord because we were going to do it. Then we went over to the church for the ward thanksgiving dinner. It was good! It was actually white people food (not casseroles Elder Retamales ). I enjoyed myself. Got talking with some of the Hermana and turns out two of them took a couple of plates over the Ambrocio family since they couldn’t come because of sickness. S/O to hermana chicas and Soltero! This ward is freakin stellar
Sunday was crazy. We were running around preparing for the baptism. We didn’t go to class. Inocencia and Ximena were baptized tho! She told us she woke up with a lot less pain but she said her determination outweighed her pain! I got to baptize hermana Ambrocio! It was such a cool experience! They are both huge examples to me of truly trusting in the lord and in the gospel. I could see that they knew this would change their lives for the better. So grateful for their examples to me!
Love you all! Have a good week!
