Service and Exchanges...
Hey hey!
This week was awesome, I went on three exchanges and was involved in three different service projects so it was super busy!
First exchange was with Elder Kiehl who is one of the zone leaders, then I went on an exchange with Elder Daniels, who is an elder in my district. He was my zone leader back in Oceanside so I know him pretty well already. The last exchange was with one of the Assistants. His name is Elder Burbank. All of them were way fun! The one with Elder Kiehl I even got to learn a little bit of Spanish and try some Spanish contacts (because he is in El Norte, the Spanish ward here). And on the exchange with Elder Burbank we found a new person to teach named Glen.
The service projects included helping someone move a ton of mulch, moving boxes from a storage unit into a truck, and assisting with a garage sale, helping people load their car and moving stuff around and whatnot.
We had a chance to meet with David this week, he is progressing pretty well! He has been reading the Book of Mormon and is pretty open to being baptized. He was working towards July 28, but it's now looking like he won't quite make that. We also met with Mel, we haven't had much success with him in the past but we had an awesome lesson with him on the Plan of Salvation and he seemed super motivated to read and progress. And there are a few other people with a lot of potential that we are working with. Love this area.
President interviews were this week. Always get such good advice from President Thomas.
We are going ice skating for a district activity today, I'll send pics next week.
Love you all,
Elder Shields
