Zone Conference, Exchanges and a Towed Car

This week was kind of funny. But not as funny as dad in a dress! haha So Monday thru Wednesday we didn't have a car but we were able to visit members for dinner and some investigator visits. But Thursday was our Zone Conference and we had been able to ask President if we could get a car due to ankle issues and my companions bronchitis. And President Nakken got us a car which was great, everything we did after that was so great, we set up an appointment with a 17 year old kid named Seth and we drove around and saw a few of our less active members. Then came Saturday we went on exchanges with our zone leaders in Westlake Village and we had a great day. I went with Elder McCurdy who is a really cool guy, he is from Grace, Idaho. Anyway we had a great day. We were tracting and knocked on the door of this guy named Lawrence and taught him the Restoration on the spot which went really well. I was able to share Omni 1: 26 with him and it was kinda cool, he kinda broke it down and thought about it a while. He seemed super nice and possibly interested. That night as we were getting ready to finish exchanges and head back to Newbury Park it was around 9:30 already and the drive from Westlake to Newbury is about 30 minutes so we decided to spend the night at the Zone leaders in  Westlake. The issue was that my companion and the other zone leader, Elder Pickett, drove our car we got on Thursday and parked it in a guest parking spot accidentally overnight. So it got towed. We had the car for two days and we already lost it. It was so terrible haha. Anyway we got the car back after my companion payed 380 dollars to get it back from the towing company. So that was my week haha! I hope all is well there, stay safe and warm haha sorry bout the snow and cold! Its like 100 degrees here still, its ridiculous! I Love you all
