Hello!
Okay.... so basically.
Being a zone leader is suuuuupppperrr busy! This is gonna be a short
email, due to that factor, plus we got to emails like 30 minutes
late..... which I will explain why. Yeah. I have like 8 minutes left...
ha.
But this week was good!
My new companion Elder Robison is great! He is my 1 companion who has
been out for well over a year. So it is great! He actually wants to be
obedient, which makes being obedient soooooooooo much easier. He is
amazing at the piano too! He plays by ear as well. He is so kind! We are
both new to this area. He has been in Santa Barbara for the past 7
months. The first day we were here, we went shopping and It turns out I
had $18 less than I needed for all my groceries... poop. So he paid the
rest without skipping a beat. He is awesome! We get along really well.
So this week we spent a
lot of our time coming up with zone goals, preparing a report on the
missionary work for the past month for the stake presidency (which was
hard... cause we weren't even here during the past month!) and we had to
collect supply orders from the whole zone... and blah. On Friday we
didn't leave the apartment once cause we were so busy doing all that
stuff! Sooooo crazy. But we got it all done! We presented the report
yesterday, and everything is all taken care of (: We have had so many
meetings and we actually have a meeting today and tomorrow that will
take up most of the days. It's crazy! But it is making time fly by so
fast! So that's good (: Elder Spencer and Elder Navarrete, two of my
past comps are both in my zone so that is exciting. 2 cities! Camarillo
and Oxnard. We email way on the west side of Oxnard and we live on the
East side of Camarillo! So it is crazy. It takes like 25-30 minutes to
drive here, it is also the building where we go to church. Yeah! I
forgot just how quiet the YSA wards are! It was dead silent during
sacrament meeting yesterday! Haha but it was way good. This ward does a
"break the fast" every fast sunday, so we were excited for that. We were
in the very back of the line... and when we got to the food, we were
literally scraping the bottoms of pans and bowls for food hahahah it was
funny (: So I had an awesome goolash of spaghetti, various types of
rice, soup, and really spicy salsa. But it was good!
Teaching young single
adults is soooooo much easier than older people. It is so much easier to
connect with them! We had a couple really good lessons this week! Our
main investigators are Desiree, Joseph and Max. I'll have to tell you
more about them next week.
I am sad, because at this
building, we aren't aloud to use the printer..... which is lame. I
usually print out your emails and read them later, but the older
gentleman watching over the family history center informed me very
firmly that we aren't aloud to use the printer for personal use... oops
(: So I had to speed read/skim through your emails. I got the just of
it! and thank you for the pictures!
But yeah things are going
good here. I love this place! Although I do miss Simi Valley a
lot. Camrillo/Oxnard are known to have the best weather in the world!
Like quite literally. It has the most mild climate. But! On the
mountains that were waaaaaaaayyyyyy far away, Elder Robison and I saw
snow on top of the mountains! We couldn't believe it (: Oh he is from
Montana... forgot to mention that. But yeah, this week it rained A LOT.
Which is great! We needed it.
Thank you for all your
love and support! I love and miss you all! I wish I could write more
about my week! Have a wonderful week (:
Elder Teeples
