Week 18/23

So this past week with Christmas has been an interesting one for sure.

December 20, 2016: We had Service at the Humane society before we went to the J's and spent the rest of the day there.
Spiritual: You are always influencing those you know. Do not be a bad influence.

December 21, 2016: We had a long district meeting before we had dinner with the Cs. Then President C went out with us for a few hours trying people which was really good. 
Spiritual: Turn to the leader around you and they will help you

December 22, 2016: We did service at the local food pantry for a while before we went and tried a number of people including the Ns and M to no success which was a bummer. Then we had dinner with The Ss which was good.
Spiritual: Keep trying one day you will find success. The only way to fail is to stop trying.

December 23, 2016: We had lunch and a visit with the J's which was good. Then we headed up to Sterling and started the exchange. I was with Elder M and it was an interesting night of tracking.
Spiritual: You can learn a lot if you go and find someone new to talk to.

December 24, 2016: We were in Sterling most of the day. The bishop up there invited all four of us to lunch and to play game with his family. After we left Sterling we went to the Ward Mission Leader's home for dinner which was really good. Then we went to the S's to wait and find out transfer information. I will be staying here and Elder H will come up here and be the new district leader. I am excited about the change. I feel that both Elder D and I need it. he will be with another Texas Elder and I will be with an Arizona Elder so that will be fun for both of us.
Spiritual: Learn from others and you will be blessed. 

December 25, 2015: We had Church and B came which was awesome. Then we had Brunch with Bishop W the former bishop and his family. Then we made Skype calls which was awesome. Then I accidentally locked myself out in the blizzard(3 to 5 inches of snow) only wearing a long sleeve shirt and no jacket or gloves which was not fun. Then we studied the rest of the day.
Spiritual: Never give up on someone they might just surprise you.

December 26, 2016: Elder D has been packing. Not much else is planned for the day so it will be good. 

God be with you till we meet again

Elder Joshua Patterson 

I asked him how long he was outside in the snow and he said about 20 to 30 minutes apparently his companion was still Skyping. He also mentioned that he is now in the top half of the Spanish elders only 3 others have been out longer then he has, their are 4 companionship's of Spanish Elders and 4 of Sisters.

It will be interesting to see how 2 native East Valley Elders do in the winter of Colorado.
