The California Rancho Cucamonga Mission

Transfer Week

Sorry for the lameness this week... but it is transfer week so that is what we have spent the most of our time doing, between meeting with president Taylor to discuss where everone is going, or planning how everyone will get there, we have been busy working on transfers.

 Life is good and I am well, here are some pictures to make up for my lameness.

Ofa Atu!

A week with a Seventy!

SO this week was Crazy Busy! like beyond the regular mission life busy.

Wednesday morning Elder Dube of the Seventy flew in to Ontario ( here Ontario not over there Ontario). After that He met with President and Sister Taylor for a little bit... then he met with Me and Elder Badoni and President and Sister Talyor. after that and a brief lunch we had MLC with all of the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders and Elder Dube. Then HE wanted to personally interview quite a few of us. That was super cool just me and Elder Dube talking about mission life!!

Thursday and friday were spent in Mission Conferences with the 2 distinct geographical areas of our mission. It was amazing to listen and learn from him!!

Some of the things he taught were: 

- The idea that this mission is a type or a shadow of your life after the mission. So are we grounding our selves enough in the gospel now?

- The beautifully simple teaching pattern, which is that we TEACH a principle, we TESTIFY of its truth, we INVITE TO ACT on the principle, we PROMISE SPECIFIC BLESSINGS for those actions and the FOLLOW-UP to make sure that the principle is understood. So great!! Probably one of the best things that could have been to taught to our missions! 

- There was a underlying theme of self consecration, something I hope that all missionaries noticed, not just me.

After all of the Zone conferences Elder Dube met with us and evaluated what was taught and learned and how it can be applied in to our missionary service. As we were shaking hands to say good bye Elder Dube said some rather interesting things regarding mine and Elder Badoni's future.

And with that he left.

Saturday we exchanged and that is about all that happened.

Ofa Atu!!!
