I'm past my three month mark! That also means I'm done with Training! Oh well, doesn't mean much because I'll probably learn a lot more in the next twenty three months then I did in the last three. Kind of a neat way to think about it.
To be honest, we kind of had a slow week. Guess that's common though when it's the last week of the Transfer. We have given quite a bit of blessing this week, but that's hardly new since I gotten here in Oroville. I gotten to know that Hospital like the back of my hand, well almost. We have been trying to get in some last minute in since we had a crazy week last week. We did exchanges, paperwork, and lots of crazy stuff.
Even though we only have one investigator (though we are trying to convince her to go the YSA Branch in Gridley.), we have been having a lot of visits with Less Active Members and we are making lots of progress with them. One family we manage to get the daughter and son over to church! All there left is to get the mother! I love them all the same though and aim always excited to go see them.
Interesting story, so we have doing some service for a member of ours (and an investigators lives with her.), tearing off dead ivory of the tree and then getting on her roof to cut off limbs of that tree. The limbs of the tree are really high and we have to cut them down using this long stick with a small saw at the end called a Pruning Stick. (Now, if your wondering "Why" we have to cut the limbs down, because they are over her roof and that's a fire hazard.). So, this week did some more of that and everything was going really well. However, there was this big limb that had to be cut down but it was too high for anyone to touch, even if you tried to jump. Elder Moseley and I agreed that I would start cutting the branch really slowly, then, when we cut deep enough, I would lightly tap it to make it start breaking downward, so that Elder Moseley could grab the end and we can slowly grab hold of the limb. We did just that, but as soon as I lightly tapped it with the Pruning Saw, that thing came down real fast. Luckily, everyone was safe and the only damage done to the roof was that the metal outline was bent out.
So we got transfer calls last night and Elder Moseley was called to a Zone Leader at Auburn! I'm staying in Oroville but my new companion is going to be Elder Hansen. I'm really excited to see how this transfer is going to be and looking forward to do some more work in Oroville.
Thank you all for the support you all give me. I miss you all and I hope to hear from any of you real soon! Have a good week and let me know how it goes. I love you all!
Write me,
Elder Paul Willis
