#HowDoYouMakeThisThingSlowDown?

​Heyo!

Talked with you guys yesterday. But I'll give you a written run-down of the week. It'll be quick though! It was great to be able to see you all yesterday! Just one more month, and I'll be walking off of that plane! It's going to be a great last few weeks here.... In just six more weeks, I'll be writing my last email home! 

The week was great! Zone Conference, Exchanges, Getting sick, and MLC... All of that made for a busy busy week! 

Monday. Didn't do a whole lot. We went out and saw the chiropractor again for Elder McLawhorn. Then went and played some mini-golf with the District! After that, we had dinner with the Hursts, and then did Zone Evaluations! 

Tuesday. Got to the Stake Center for our Zone Conference! This one was a special one, we all got to be in our P-Day clothes! We went on a hike and learned a lot about the Holy Ghost! Walked around with one companion having a blindfold on. Another time we had the other companion blindfolded, but we were also three-legged. It was great, and then we got back and learned about finding by the Spirit, and received some training on how to work more effectively with members! We had dinner with the Capanna's that night, and then had a lesson with the Osumi's! We talked about deepening our conversion to Christ, and about how we can gain a testimony of Him. Great family! 

Wednesday I was on an exchange with Elder Judkins, our District Leader. I woke up feeling sick though, but we still went through the day! Did some service in the morning, and then had both of our appointments fall through, so we went by some people, and ended up seeing Kelly! We haven't been able to see her in awhile, so it was nice to get in contact with her again! She wants to start taking the lessons again, but has been super busy because her dad is having some health issues. Went out for dinner that night with Brother Rust, and then came home and exchanged back! 

Thursday. Went to the chiropractor again for Elder McLawhorn's final visit, and then I got home and crashed. I felt terrible, but had a nap. Being sick really isn't the best thing in the world, but we make do with it! We had dinner at the Neufeld's, and then went and saw our other investigator! We met with her at a Taco Bell. She was going to come to church on Sunday, but some complications didn't allow that to happen. She's great though!

Friday. Had MLC at 11am in Oxnard, so we drove down for that! It was a great meeting, as always. We learned about charity and love, and reviewed the things that have been going on in the mission the past week. By the end of the meeting, I really wasn't feeling too well, and so we blitzed for a little bit with Elder Anderson and Elder Baker. That was good. Except Elder Anderson and I forgot to grab a phone from the other Elders, so they didn't know where we were. Luckily, we just stayed at the apartment because I was dying, and they eventually found us!

Saturday. Had correlation with Brother Leavitt, and then had dinner with Sister Isaacs. That was great. Did Weekly Planning, because I couldn't do it on Thursday. Met with the YSA Sisters and gave them some info about YSA in our area. Had dinner with the Simkins family, who are off the charts awesome. I love them! And then we met with Alex and talked about Romans 8:16-18 and related it to the Plan of Salvation! 

Sunday was good! Great talks in Sacrament meeting, and then called home! 

But yeah, everything is going great! Transfer calls this week, and then it will be the last transfer! I am ready to enjoy to the end! 

Love you all!

Elder Harvey




Here is the piano video you want. I was doing it without a hymn book for most of it, so I messed up at the end, but you get it!




And here is us and the Stasell's! Bishop and wife in AG2.
