Hello everyone. Weeks are great out here. It has flown by so fast though... We are now halfway through the transfer, And I have feeling I will be getting the boot out of Fenton because this is my third transfer here. We will see what happens though. I will be finding out less then three weeks now what is going on. Transfers have started to hit really fast. It is cool though. It is fun. And I like change. SO I want to go to another area now. Even though the work is going great here its nice for change.
Tuesday We had exchanges. I was with the District Leader Elder Harris. He is from Boise, orginally from Murrieta right next to Temecula. At one point before our Stakes split we were in the same stake. So that was kinda cool. We had an appointment with Mike and his wife who recently moved from a bordering ward. Mike is a recent convert, his wife is a J-Dub. I seem to run into a lot of J-Dubs... Kinda annoying at times. OH well. Mike has gone through some difficult times. He has gotten back into Satanic worship and other weird stuff. So we toke all his stuff and threw it in the dumpster. Best way to get rid of that stuff is to completely throw away the temptation. That night we had dinner at a baseball game that our members fed us.
Wednesday we taught Charlie. He has finally started to progress again and start reading the Book of Mormon. Thank goodness. It has taken a little while to get him too. We had to do service that night for a member doing some intesne stuff. INtesnse yard work. Not that intense, well not as intenese as last time.
Thursday was good. It stunk because we had to walk a lot of places it being the last day of the month and not having many miles left for the month. It was fun walking. That night we had splits. Bishop and I went to meet with Mike and then My comp, the ward mission leaders and the home teachers and Nicki met all together for her first recent convert lesson. From what everyone told me, it went well and she knew her stuff from the first lesson. Bishop and I meeting with Mike was very interesting. That is all I have to say.
Friday Was super busy. It was nice because we were able to drive a lot more it being a new month. We met with Webster and his wife. It was a good lesson with them. We are taking things a little slow with his wife. Webster has helped us get some places and go to lessons with us which is cool for a less active. We went and saw many part members and getting in contact and challenging them to take the lessons. We were able to teach many other lessons that day to people we found. We saw some guys playing basketball, so we started playing with them. After we played one of the guys who i s a new investigator asked me to preach a sermon. So I did. It was fun not going to lie. I taught them about the Plan of Salvation focussing on our purpose here in this life.
Saturday we went down to house springs and high ridge area and we found another new investigator while looking for a former. We taught the lady out on her outside chairs. That was way awesome too. That day we picked up another former as a new investigator which I was very hapy with . We have an appointmetn with her today. We are actually cutting pday short to go teach her.
Sunday we had PEC in the morning. It was really good. The ward is really happy with us and we have really started to work very close with them. Nicki received a calling as a young women advisor! that was really cool. During Testimony meeting I bore my Testimony trying to get the ward fired up about the missionary work. It was good. We taught Pete and Charlie that day with the Bishops son then had dinner at the Bishops.
Today wer are going to play football under the arch! That is very faomous in this mission. It is fun. haha Well everyone have a great week!!! Have fun in the nice summer weather! It is fun in this Humidity... not. haha I lvoe you all
Love,
