Last Wednesday we had a conference call with another set of zone leaders and we planned MTE's that happen tomorrow. MTE stands for missionary training exchange it's when a couple zones get together and they do an exchange between zones. The Zone Leaders plan who goes where and then the mission president looks over it and makes sure it looks good. So if all goes according to plan I should be going back to Ramona. A different Ward in Ramona but still Ramona so that's pretty awesome.
Later that day on Wednesday we helped a family move out of the Ward. The Ward here is actually really awesome. I'm excited to be serving here, there was a lot of people there to help, even the bishop who was still in his suit because he just got off work.
On Thursday we did some baptismal interviews for a mom and her 2 daughters so that was pretty cool. I interviewed one of the daughters and she asked who could baptize her and I told her that someone who held the priesthood could do it and she then asked me to do it but once I told her that the missionaries that were teaching her could do it she was like oh well I definitely want one of them to do it. I was so kinda relieved haha I didn't want to take that opportunity from the missionaries that taught her.
On Friday we went to 2 district meetings in our zone. We are supposed to go to a district meeting in each district once a transfer, but it was good, we have good missionaries in our zone.
Saturday was a long day. We have been dropping a lot of investigators because they aren't progressing so on Saturday we walked around some apartment complexes for a couple hours and talked to quite a few people and got a few people's addresses and stuff . Something that's really nice about being in San Diego, is that when we street contact people even if they're not interested we can still give them a card to the Mormon Battalion historic site. The Mormon Battalion is actually pretty cool. They re-did it a couple years ago and made it really interactive for kids and stuff and the sister missionaries run it so people always have a good time going.
Later that day on Saturday we had a meeting with the high councilor over missionary work and he took us out to dinner to a Korean BBQ place. It was pretty good except he made us eat an octopus! It actually wasn't that bad. Elder Searle was kind of freaking out about it before hand which was funny. At the end of the night we planned and went right to bed because we ended up walking 7 miles that day and were so tired haha.
Yesterday I went on an exchange with Elder Shurtliff. Elder Shurtliff was actually MTC companions with my trainee Elder Andersen. We had a pretty good day and taught some of their progressing investigators.
I think that's it for this week!
This coming week is going to be SOO busy haha. Elder Holland is actually coming to our mission on Friday! So that will be exciting!
Love ya!
Elder Chris 😃
