Hey Everybody!
It's been a long, hot week last week! However, a lot of fun and
interesting things have happened this week!
After P-Day on Monday, we were going around Southside of Oroville and
we had an "inspiration" to go in a certain direction. We were walking
down the road we had a feeling to stop and talk to an elderly woman
who was watching some neighbor kids. She loved talking to us and we
asked her if she wanted to take discussions from us. She replied yes!
Ten minutes later, I was still walking down when I saw, out of the
corner of my eye, creep out of sight. A woman had pulled over on the
side of the road and beckoned for us come over to her. One of the
first things she says to us is "I want to be baptized." We found out
that she was taking lessons from the previous Elders but suddenly
stopped when they left. Since was not in our part of Oroville, we had
to transfer her to the other Elders in our Ward. Still, some pretty
amazing work by The Lord.
Had my first companion exchange and it went really well. Elder Stein,
the district leader, is really and his companion, Elder Shapiro, are
always hanging out with us since we are doubling in the same Ward.
Anyways it was nice to ride in a car all day.
Friday marked my first month of my Mission! Twenty-three more to go!
Whoo! More time!
Saturday was Elder Moseley's birthday and he finally turned nineteen!
All week he has been receiving packages from home ( and it became a
common practice from our Zone Leaders (who we share an apartment
with.) to hide his packages all week long.) and he finally opened them
on Saturday. Surprisingly, his family had sent ME some gifts also. I'm
sending them a thank you card, also. I had bought Elder Moseley a hat
that he really wanted (I managed to get it secretly with the help of
the Zone Leaders.) and he lived it.
Later, we had a stake party for Pioneer's day and had tons of fun,
meeting up with other missionaries, members, and investigators at the
party. The missionaries were in charge of putting everything away but
we did play some softball afterwards (members/investigators vs
missionaries.) I, surprsingly, made a name for myself from playing
softball that day. Proud of me, Bryant?
That's my week! Love ya'll and thank for your support!
