We had a super busy week! Elder Alonso and I went on five exchanges this week! Four of them were with zone leaders, and one was with a new missionary. Super cool, we get to visit all 8 zones in the mission.
Us and the sisters did a paper airplane themed Booth on the campus of San Diego State University. The idea was you make and throw a plane, get a piece of candy, then we talk to you about how it takes faith to fly the paper airplane. You need to have faith that your design will be good, and you need to do the work to actually make the plane. We had some good conversations with that, but we probably won't do that again haha.
We had a baptism for Giana Pizzo! I dropped the ball and didn't get a picture with her, but it was probably the most spirit-filled baptismal service I've ever been to. Elder Alonso and I both gave talks, and President Giménez spoke as well. His testimony is so powerful. It was awesome because Giana had a lot of non-member family members there!
We drove to El Cajón Sunday night to give some of Elder Alonso's homemade banana bread to Tom. Tom is an older guy who joined the church about 7 years ago. Almost as soon as he joined, he started housing missionaries. Then he became a service missionary himself! He is super cool, and Elder Alonso used to live in his house for a few transfers. It was Tom's birthday, so we had to drop by.
We have zone conference tomorrow and Thursday! We will be giving a training on Finding New People to Teach, which will be fun!
Tons of pictures this week! Including the bowling pics from last P-day. I am trying to get a picture with the other missionary on every exchange, i missed one of them though.
I hope everyone has a good week!!
