Hey family,
How’s it going? I’m doing pretty good, Oxnard has perfect
weather!!!!!! It’s always like 78 degrees, a little different than Utah huh? ha
ha I’m not looking forward to getting
transferred to Bakersfield ( if I get transferred there) its already like
100 degrees and dusty there.
Well this week was a really good
week. We had a lot of great success and
we were able to teach a lot of people. Things
are going really well still, not gonna lie it’s kinda nice. It’s a lot of hard work but its ok. People are always willing to listen to us but
most of the time they don’t really want to act on the things they learn. But at least we are getting the message out
right??? A lot of tracting, ALOT OF TRACTING!! I really do like tracting though, there is
nothing better than bugging people while they are watching the NBA playoffs, most
of the time they will chose Christ over the playoffs but every once and a while
they will pick the game..... sad right? But we are still knocking playoffs or
not.
We are still working with Ron and Robert,
they are doing pretty well but they are still drinking a lot, but we committed
them to stop drinking as much as they were, so we will see how that goes. Oh
and we set Robert with a date for July 7th. He has neuropathy and is scared to get into
the water but we will help him get over that fear with faith in Christ.
We picked up a former investigator
named Christian who at once had a date, the date is June 23rd. He is really excited and now he really is ready
for the covenant of baptism. He is 18 and is about to graduate from high
school. It was a very powerful lesson,
the spirit was really there to testify to him about the truth and how he really
needs to follow Jesus Christ. I’m really
excited about it!!!
We found this new guy named Joseph
and we taught him the restoration. During
the lesson he said that he has been talking with his friend about how there
were too many churches and too much confusion in this world now about religion.
He told us to come back Sunday and teach
him and his family about the restoration. So we will see how that goes.
I’m doing great here in
CALIFORNIA!!!
Love you so much and miss you tons!
