So this week was another crazy week in the San Diego First Ward!!!!!!!!!! This week is actually what they call "senior week". It's when I become the senior companion so that Elder Nielsen can see how well I know my stuff haha!!!
On Wednesday we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. I went with Elder Yates who is like 20 months out so he gave me some tips. This is also his first transfer being a zone leader so he is pretty nervous. I don't know what it is about exchanges but the person I'm with always decides to talk about what they're struggling with with me and then I have to help them, but Elder Yates is an amazing missionary!!!!

On Thursday we met with a bunch of people including Chris and James.
Chris is still doing awesome. I don't how he finds the patience while he waits to see if he can get baptized. He is an amazing person and has an amazing testimony!!
James has some disabilities so we have been teaching little bits at a time. We are using Mormon Messages and music to teach and its working really well!!! This past week we actually set a date for him to get baptized on December 6!!
So every other Friday we do service at Balboa Park with a bunch of other missionaries. We just help out a park ranger and move logs and trim trees and what not. Elder Nielsen loves to go because he gets to wear jeans and not a tie haha. He actually got poison ivy (but he says its not that bad).
Saturday we met with Peter. We are actually meeting with him two times a week now just to make sure he is ready for baptism in a few weeks. He already has a super solid testimony and texts us sometimes and asks for reading assignments haha. He is way cool!!!!!!!
Sunday was fast Sunday and it was hard but we broke our fast at Sister Anderson's house. She is an amazing cook and she always feeds us a ton of food. We had another good lesson with her though. We talked about her niece and how she can talk to her about the gospel.
Yesterday was a pretty good day. We went and talked to the Kneelands for a little bit. He is struggling with cancer and is an amazing member missionary. Yesterday when we met with him we were able to talk to him but there's some hard stuff going on in his life.
This week we have been meeting a lot with a less active named Clay. He is trying to quit smoking and struggling with it so we come by 2 or 3 times a week to just check up on him. He is an awesome guy and has a really cool conversion story!!
Other than all that, this past week has been pretty chill.
A random tidbit. Elder Nielsen discovered that one of the Piano Guys songs he has is a really fun song to pretend to drive in slow motion like we are spies and such. So we've been doing that a couple times the past couple days.... haha.
I cant think of anything else to talk about, but I love you all and hope everything is going well!!!
Love,
Elder LaRochelle
