"We contacted 220 people in 20 minutes with all the missionaries and got like 45 referrals" February 16, 2015

Hey I just figured out that i got changes!! so i will be going to my last area....

I love my area but i got almost 6 months.... and it will be good for a change.

The zone meeting was super cool on tuesday the assistants showed up cause they wanted to see the meeting.... We contacted 220 people in 20 minutes with all the missionaries and got like 45 referrals so it was a really good activity and really fun. Ill send some pics of where we were.

"Siempre Tanner Fecha" February 9, 2015

So this week was good, except my comp was sick for Saturday and Sunday.  He's been throwing up a ton has diarrhea and a fever. They came to our house and put an IV in. But he's feeling better now. But we couldn't leave for two days and I was going kinda crazy. But the members in our ward are so good, they were there bringing us food always. They would just call and ask me if I had eaten (cause my comp couldnt eat) and then just bring me a ton of food. The last couple days I've eaten so much!

We got a super sweet zone meeting planned for tomorrow. Its a surprise though... so low key. But we are gonna take the whole zone to a restaurant in Santa Ana and have the meeting there. We are gonna do a sweet practice of contacting people in the street and all 32 missionaries are gonna leave and there is two big parks in the city center and were gonna split up in two groups and contact everyone. The goal for the 15 minutes is that we can talk to 200 people as a zone. Gonna be cool and after, the owner of the restaurant (isn't member) were gonna have 2 missionaries teach him in front of everyone, but its gonna be a cool practice cause he's a real investigator. And then after we're gonna eat there.

We're teaching a cool family that has dreadlocks. They are 27 years old and both have dreads... they are super chill (surprise huh?) but they have given us lunch in our first two appointments with them. They haven't really looked for a church their whole lives but the wife is pregnant so they're trying to be better. They're super cool!

Love you tons.........

ELDER TANNER

 

made this for the zone... gonna be dope. Tanner replaced the word "tener" so it says, "always have a date"... like for baptism haha

 

"I'm sorry to hear about Uncle Steve, he will be in my mind and prayers." February 2, 2015

I'm sorry to hear about Uncle Steve, he will be in my mind and prayers.

I got on really early today because today at 9 we got a soccer match with our whole zone against a neighborhood in our area. It's gonna be great.
 

Yesterday I was reading the Liahona a little and I came across a quote from.... I think Richard G. Scott. That said, don't fall into Satan's lie that there isn't time to study the scriptures everyday. It's more important than sleep, home work, eating and many other things. So this week I was thinking about scripture study and its importance, It's something not only to strengthen us daily and give us the spirit, but prepares us for eternal life. Eternal life is to live with God and Jesus Christ and know them perfectly. Through the scriptures we can know who Christ and Our Heavenly Father are. That's why it's so important to read. I hope to keep my study habits when I get home because I know it will be more difficult but it's not that hard.
 

We had a not too great week because nobody went to church.... But we will get better.

That's crazy Russ is home...
 

thanks for everything, love you all.
