Hi Everyone!
This week has been pretty good. Here are a few highlights.
Interviews with President Nakken were this week.We talked a bit about how after the groups of missionaries go home this summer we'll be down quite a few missionaries, so we'll probably have quite a few missionaries who have to cover more than one area and more new people in leadership.
We went to go visit a potential neither of us had met. We found out she moved but the lady that lived there talked with us a bit and we ended up saying a prayer with her and gave her a Book of Mormon.
We had two exchanges this week. The first one was with Elder Cannon, who I've served around a few times before. On the way to one members house we saw a zebra in someone's yard. I have a picture below. We taught two lessons. The first one was with a guy named Caesar who seems pretty solid. The next one was with someone named Laurna and we were able to set her with a baptismal date!
The second exchange was with Elder Judd. It started out with us trying by a referral when a member called us and asked us to save her chicken. Apparently she'd left it out and then gone out of town. She was really worried that other animals would eat it. Fortunately it was still alive and we were able to get it back in it's pen. After we left hawks started flying overhead so we showed up just in time. We also met a less active/non-member family who was open to us coming back.
We had a really good lesson with our investigator Judy. We re-taught her the plan of salvation and she got emotional when we taught the spirit world. She liked how young children who die early will go straight to heaven. We were also able to teach Marie (who is one of our member's sister) the gospel of Jesus Christ. She's super solid, but she'll be moving soon so we'll eventually need to get in touch with the missionaries where she's moving and pass her off.
On Sunday our ward (Atascadero first ward) and the Atascadero 2nd ward combined into one big ward. For right now we will keep two sets of missionaries in the ward, but that might change in a few months. We met with Jeff and Heidi (some of our investigators). Jeff is all set to be baptized, but Heidi still has a few things to work out before she's ready.
That's my week. I hope everyone has a great conference weekend.
Elder Jason Riches
