This week has been pretty awesome. I have done a lot of stuff this week. For business, I received an awesome card from the grandparents Murray, so that was great and I really loved it. My birthday is in 1 week and I think it is crazy. I don't feel like I have already almost been here 4 months. It is sad I only have so many left to go.
So Tuesday this week was a huge day. We had a Zone Conference and received our new smart phones, which has totally rocked my world! I was just getting used to the missionary daily planner and how to use it and organize my area book. Now I have to relearn it all in a totally new and different way. I didn't think that they did a very good job of explaining the amount of new things we got this zone conference, so it has been a lot of learning this week. I am on Facebook and I don't have any sort of a schedule when I post and when I don't, but I can only post at the church when I have Wifi.
Wednesday was another crazy day. We started off the day in the church vineyard again and this time we finished all the pruning and got a chance to do something new. We dug out an end post that was like 6 feet under the ground and put a new one in. It was fun. That night we had an exchange with our Zone Leaders and I went with Elder Kauai. He is an awesome missionary and I love him as a leader.
Then Thursday came and it was pretty good. We didn't get to do as much street missionary work as I would have liked to because we were doing updates on our area book and getting Facebook figured out most of the mid day.
Friday was pretty fun. That morning was regular but that night I exchanged again. This time it was because Elder Lilly had a baptism in his old area that he went to, so I was stuck with the English Elders. It was fun though because we met a lot of different people and I went to some areas of Madera I usually don't see because I work where the Spanish people are.
Saturday was good too. It was one of the only days this week I got to do just regular missionary stuff. The crazy thing that happened Saturday though, was that we got a call from the Assistants that told us we were moving from our tiny apartment to a house with the other Spanish Elders. So that was crazy and it was sort of sad because I have grown to like our old apartment because it is small and nice and we don't have to deal with other Elders all of the time, but we still had Elders in the same complex.
Sunday we had church and we got 3 investigators there for Sacrament which was great. Then that night we exchanged again, with the District leader this time, and I really enjoyed it. I think I learned a lot of good things I can continue to use as a missionary.
I love all of you so much and I love this gospel! I honestly don't know where I would be without it. I am so blessed to know that Jesus Christ died for me and that He loves me more than I could understand. I invite every one of you to pray to feel His love more in your everyday life and look for ways to share that love with others.
Love,
Elder David Murray
