Teaching Like Crazy!
This week was pretty awesome!!! Me and Elder Fraughton are killing it!!!!! We are teaching like crazy! The members are being super supportive with going out with us and feeding us and everything. I love it here so much!
So on Friday I went on exchanges with Elder Smith from fourth ward. He came to my area and I drove for the first time since I've been on my mission haha. We started off the day by doing service with Elder Fraughton and Elder Salmond which was cool. We had a really good day and me and Elder Smith get along pretty well. He actually came out with Elder Nielsen so he showed me some pictures from when Elder Nielsen was new so that was pretty cool!
Sunday was a lot of fun. Me and Elder Fraughton helped teach the sunbeams and we sang in the ward choir. We got Clay to come to church which is awesome since he has only been to church once since I have been here. Janette was supposed to come to church but when a member called her to see if she needed a ride she told him that she wasn't coming to church again because someone told her that we didn't believe in Jesus Christ. The member then helped her by giving her chapters in the Book of Mormon to read. It was way cool to have him help her. Then after church we stopped by her house and talked to her and she had read the chapters the member left her to read. It helped her so much and answered all her questions!!
After that we went to go see Alex Boye. We actually convinced Janette to come with us and she loved it!!! We had to leave a little early because missionaries have a curfew and stuff which is kinda lame but we want to make sure we are following all the rules!! But Alex shared his conversion story with us and it was really powerful. He is such a good speaker and really talented!
Yesterday we met with Richard again. He dropped us a couple months ago but a few weeks ago we called him and asked how he was and he told us that we could come by again. We had a really good lesson with him about coming to church. He likes church and knows it's important he just thinks he is too old to come to church.
Well I think that is all for this week. Love you all and hope you are all doing amazing!!!
Love,
Elder LaRochelle

Pho With The Sisters
One of the Sisters insisted they get Pho. As evident by the expression on his face, Chris doesn't like it. Apparently the translation of Pho in English is 'nasty soup'.
Super Pumped
Hello everybody!!!!
I can't believe its already P-day again. This week has just flown by!!! Me and Elder Fraughton are getting along great!!!
So this week we had a really good lesson with Janette. She actually came to church on Sunday for the first time!!! It was really cool how the talks and lessons seemed to be directed at her and what she was going through. It was so cool!!
Yesterday was a really good day. We met with a less active named Sarah that we just helped move into the ward a couple weeks ago. She lives with her boyfriend and they have a baby together. She was telling us that right before we called she was praying because she was really stressed and right after she finished praying we called. It was a way cool experience and she was telling us that her boyfriend is thinking about becoming a member because they want to be married in the temple!!!
After we visited her we went and saw Clay. He just quit smoking so we went by yesterday and brought him some donuts and celebrated a little with him. Hopefully he is still going strong, he is such a good guy!!!
We also had zone meeting yesterday and it was awesome. My zone leaders are way cool!!! I love Zone Meeting so much. I always leave feeling super pumped and I can always feel the spirit super strong!!
Well thats all for now!!! Hope you are all doing awesome!!!! Happy Veterans day!!!

New Companion - Elder Fraughton
So last Wednesday Elder Nielsen left San Diego 1st Ward and my new Companion is Elder Fraughton. He is from Utah and we are getting along great!!!
Sorry if this email is short. We went to the temple again today so my time to email is shorter!!!!! We had an awesome week though. Sadly, Peter's baptism got moved to the end of the month. He just wants to make sure that this is something that he wants to do, which is OK.
Taking over the area is pretty stressful though. Thank goodness I have a GPS or we would be lost like all the time haha!!! We are actually saving less active members' addresses in my GPS so we can visit more in a day which is awesome!!!
Yesterday we had a pretty cool experience. We went and visited a potential investigator that we street contacted. Her name is Laneice (that is spelled correctly by the way haha) and we met her 3 kids too. They are all coming to church this Sunday which is awesome!!!!!
Sorry I don't have a lot to say this week. Things are pretty crazy today. I'll send pictures from the temple next week!!
Love,
Elder LaRochelle
