Things have changed quite a bit here in Oroville. First off, Elder Moseley left to Auburn to be a Zone Leader now and I got a new do all ion, Elder Hanson! The first couple of days was getting Elder Hanson settled in and quickly adjusting him to the area. Things kept popping up all around us. Got a new Zone Leader and Sister Jones had oral surgery on Monday. Fun times!
The Sister Missionaries were living with members for the past couple of transfers but since the family's son is returning from his mission, the Mission Office assists that the Sister Missionaries move to a new apartment (despite the assurance from The family that they're going to kick out their son out as soon as he is released. Apparently, they like the Sister Missionaries a lot more then their own so .). They moved in Thursday and, as last minute, called Elder Benedict, Elder Shapiro, Elder Hanson, and I to come over and help them move furniture in and out beds together. We did that, including the Hmong Elders. When we got there, Sister Jones was all hipped up on pain mess, to the point were she couldn't stand up without support. Eventually, all the Sisters left to go do work while we put the beds together but we wanted as little stress for them as possible (since Sister Jones just got out of surgery.) so we out the whole house together for them! After that, the Hmong Elders invited us over to their apartment for some Fa for lunch!
General Conference was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it! I got tons of good notes from watching it and the other Elders got an investigator to come watch four sessions of it (including Priesthood Session!). I liked the idea of speakers being able to speak in their native language but I didn't like the voice over, I felt like that it away from the power of their voice. I was a little disappointed that Dieter F. Uchtdorf did t speak in German. During Priesthood session, I saw one of friends from Pleasant Grove singing in the Missionary Choir! I thought that was pretty cool!
We are having a good time here and working hard as best as we can. I hope everyone is doing alright and I can't wait to hear from you all! You're all in my prayers and I'm thankful for the support you have given me.
Sincerely,
Elder Paul Willis
