This week has felt super long but has gone by really fast. On Tuesday we had the four week meeting so it was good to see everyone that I came out with. We got some good instruction from President Taylor and a spiritual refill. On Thursday we went down to Rancho because one of the Elders that we live with had an appointment and it was really fun. During our little field trip we ate at Cafe Rio and while we were driving to and from the Mission Office we saw some more tender mercies including a Ferrari 458, M4, M3, WRX and others. Not going to lie I really want to serve in the Rancho area so we'll see if that happens. This Friday was also the day that our investigator, Tosin, was baptized. It was an interesting event. Tosin has had 5 strokes and a brain aneurysm so his balance is not the best. The first time he was dunked he didn't bend his legs at all or plug his nose so Elder Etheridge was struggling to get him back up and then we had to wait a little bit for Tosin to get h...
So we've been here for a week now so we're starting to get things figured out. This week actually flew by for me cause we were super busy! So Monday was transfers and that takes the whole day so that was over instantly. On Tuesday we were down in Rancho again to help bring up the luggage of the new missionaries in our zone. On Thursdays the assistants came up to the desert to talk to us and the other two zone leaders in our stake. All four of us have never been zone leaders before and have never had a companion that was a zone leader so they answered the questions that we had and walked us through some of our responsibilities and such. It was much needed. On Saturday we were back down in Rancho (I'm not complaining cause I love the valley) to go on exchanges with the APs. They live in the backyard of a members house and they call it a barn but the inside is exactly like a house and it is so nice! It's probably 3 times the size of our apartment. While on exchanges Elder ...
So last night we were mobbin around the hood trying to catch some of our investigators and potential investigators at home so we could teach them repentance and while we were thinking about where to go while stopped at a stop sign I catch a glimpse of a pair of tail lights. It took me a second to register what vehicle it was so about half way through the intersection it clicks and I tell Elder Nordgren, "That's a FERRARI" and I crank the wheel to the right and speed off towards the direction that it was heading. "But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance." (1 Ne. 1:20) In other news, this week we had a lesson with our investigator Dave. We have two investigators named Dave so we call this one groovy Dave. His vocabulary is hilarious and consists of things like: "Well I'll be darned" "...
