The Good: Got to go on exchanges with Elder Conder. It was great to catch up with him and relive some good moments back in the Adelanto House.  Gained 6 new investigators this week!!: Dave -  we tracted into him. We asked him if he would be interested in learning more and he just thought for a second and then told us that it was time that he should learn more. We taught the restoration to him and answered his questions about some of our basic beliefs. Freddy -  after we taught him the Restoration he said that he was really excited to read from the Book of Mormon and learn more from us! Mandy + Victor - tracted into a LONG time ago but we kept trying and we thought they were giving us the run around but they're just really busy. We taught them the Restoration and asked if they would pray to know the truth and they said that they would. Ula + Tiffany - don't really know how solid they are because Ula is 87 and Tiffany is like 10 so comprehension mig...

Well to be honest this week was a blur but nothing really happened? We had Zone Conference on Thursday which was a good spiritual refill. Elder Nordgren and I gave some trainings in our Zone's breakout session. We got to watch about 46 seconds of "Master and Commander" and when it came on everyone was all excited and it reminded me of the scene in the A-Team when Murdock is in the insane hospital and he gets everyone to start chanting "movie, movie, movie" and he starts passing out 3D glasses and there's popcorn and then they all get quiet when it starts and then the hummer comes through the wall and they all cheer. Good times. This week we saw some amazing blessings in the form of 3 new investigators! One of them came because we had a dinner with a less active family and the father is not a member. He talked about how sometimes he is left with a lot of questions regarding religion after reading from the Bible so we talked to him a little bit about the B...

First off I want to apologize because I took the equivalent of 0/342569243 pictures this week. I'll improve for next week.  This week was an upgrade from last week, not too much tracting was done and we had some good lessons. We were blessed with a couple of new investigators. One is named Dave and he's super funny. When we first ran into him he told us to "stay groovy" as we said goodbye to him. After our first lesson with him we think that he had a lot better understanding than most when we tell people that we believe that we're the same church that Christ established and that we're the only true church on the earth. He told us that what we were suggesting was quite a lot to take in and that it would take him some more lessons and reading and praying for him to know for himself if what we were saying was true.  This week we were also blessed with the opportunity to give some service. On Monday (not yesterday but the week previous) we were able...

Well this week was nothing spectacular. We spent a lot of time tracting and not a lot of time teaching people. We didn't gain a single new investigator which is the first time that's happened since Elder Nordgren and I got here. BUTTTTTTTTTT we got our investigator Vivian (the one living with Mike and Vanessa from last week) on date for February 10th so we are excited to continue working with her. Yesterday in church we talked a lot about home teaching in Elders Quorum/ High Priests and the importance of it. Now poor home-teaching is a problem throughout the church but it is so super important! As missionaries sometimes we work with less-active members to try to help them remember the importance of the gospel in the eternal perspective. Well try as we might we rarely have members return to activity when it's only us. The stories we hear of people returning to activity is because of patience and long suffering from the ward members!! We get transferred every few months but y...

There is not a whole lot to report this week. We had transfers and Elder Nordgren and I are staying right where we are. There are a couple changes with the zone including Elder Conder being transferred in which is awesome! Been missing that guy. We got to go to Rancho yesterday to help with transfers and bikes and luggage and such. Always a good time being able to go to Rancho topped off with lunch at Chick-fil-a.  We gained a couple of new investigators. One is named Alma and she seems pretty interested. She knows that she needs to devote her life to the Lord and knows that she needs to make some changes so we're working with her to help her understand that the restored gospel will help her do that! We also taught Mike and Vivian (a different Vivian than other emails). Vivian has spent some time in Utah so she knows quite a bit about the church and she told us that she wants to start practicing with us (we hope that means becoming a member). Her ex-husband's name was Coria...
