Happy Monday everyone, I hope you
all had an enjoyable St. Patrick's Day last week on Friday. My companion and I
made sure to wear green ties that day haha.
Where to start off...well Elder
Hirst and I have been running around a lot carrying out responibilities and
going to meetings. I'm still trying to get used to this whole zone leader
thing. On Thursday we drove to the mission office in Rancho Cucamonga and
attended Mission Leadership Council (4 HOURS!). We got to see a sneak peek of
the Church's new Easter video, it's awesome! I feel like Elder Hirst and I
are trying to run a business here haha, we have a lot of administrative stuff
to do as zone leaders.
Nothing
much happened last week; we spent a lot of time trying to see former
investigators, potential investigators and less-actives and inviting them out
to the Moses' Tabernacle event and giving them flyers. Moses' Tabernacle is a
public exhibit being put on by Church members of a life size replica of Moses'
Tabernacle. It's going to be set up at the Chino Stake Center in Chino Hills,
and we are expecting quite a few nonmembers to come check it out. Us
missionaries will have "shifts" when we will be giving tours of the
exhibit and also talking to people, so we will be really busy with that over
the next two weeks. During last week though we taught a few recent converts the
Word of Wisdom and read the Book of Mormon with the other. It was cool to hear
that they were first taught by one of my previous companions Elder Morton! We
were kept busy with administrative tasks that we had to do. While Elder
Hirst and I were walking down the street on Saturday we saw a squirrel sitting
on the edge of a fence next to the sidewalk. Elder Hirst tried talking to the
squirrel, and the squirrel noticed us and leaped across the sidewalk onto
the trunk of a tree, and it leaped past us not even 3 feet from our faces, so I
guess you could say that was an interesting experience haha. I don't have much
time left now, so I gotta go. We'll see what the Lord has in store for us
this week.
Love
you all,
Elder
Ruiz
My companion Elder Hirst and I.
