How has everyone week been going? How has the weather been? We got rain yesterday morning and everyone was really excited! Too bad we were asleep during it, though. Doesn't matter, Northern California needs it.
I know that my last P-Day was last Wednesday but I'm amazed at how much work has been accomplished since then. We visited a lot of people and met some new part member families. There are times were I'm just plan tired from working but I do feel like I'm doing good while I'm out there working.
This is my last week being a "Greenie!" The training program ends for next Tuesday when the next Transfer starts. Though I'm pretty blunt with myself when I tell myself that I'm never going to stop being a "Greenie." Guess there is always more stuff to learn over the next two years.
So my district consists of four companionships, three elders and one sisters, and two Elder Companionships (Elder Moseley and I and Elder Benedict and Elder Shapiro.) cover the Oroville 1st Ward and one Elder and Sister Companionships (Elder Page and Elder Gardanier and Sister Willis and Sister Jones.) cover the Oroville 3rd Ward. These two Wards also share the same Church Building but hold separate activities all the time. Like the 3rd Ward held a Talent Show last Friday. The Sisters really wanted us, all the Elders in the district, to join them in the talent show and sing our "Mission Song" in front of the whole. With much persuasion (and going on a small guilt trip as we realize how much the Sister Missionaries do for us, Elders.) we agree and we all sang at the Talent Show, and as the last performance. It was a lot of fun and Elder Benedict and Elder Shapiro got one of their investigators to come!
Other interesting things: We have an investigator on date for a Baptism. We went to the Fish Hatchery today for a P-Day activity. Gave tons of blessings this week. And a General Authority came last Monday (but I mentioned that last Wednesday.)
So, not only is our mission blessed with the use of iPads, we also have the time and calling of online proselyting. Meaning, I have a Facebook account as a missionary. I never mentioned it before because I didn't know what the regulations were about having friends and family as friends on Facebook. I didn't want to add you all as friends then having to defriend y'all. I found out more, I'm allowed to friend you all but I'm not allowed you message any of you unless I have special permission from my Mission President. I'm also not allowed to be in Facebook on Sundays and P-Days.
Well that's all I have for the week to give y'all. I hope I get to hear from everyone soon! Hope y'all have a good week!
Love,
Elder Paul Willis
