So this week has been super crazy. I met a sister in
Reedley that served with Dad on his mission.
. It was funny
when she met me at a Halloween party for the new combined ward. She looked at
me and just like she knew me asked,“Did your dad serve in Japan?” I was like
ya?? Then she went on about how Dad was almost always in her district and her
district leader for a time. It was super funny. The world is definitely a small
world.
This week we have been finding tons of new investigators. It
has been really good! We found 2 really awesome people. One of the guys is in his 20's and plays baseball. He is a young
parent and starting to realize he needs to find a religion for his daughter and
for him. He is a way cool guy. It showed me that if we are just willing to put
ourselves out there just a little bit, we will be able to find the people that
are ready to hear the gospel.
Bythe way, I am leaving to go to Visalia 1st Ward. It
is an English ward. I am a little disappointed to go back to an English ward,
but it will be alright. I hope. My Tompa served in Visalia, so that should be fun to be in
some of the same areas as him!
It was really sad saying bye to a
few families and some investigators. I got close enough with some of the families here that I know I will always have a place to come and stay when I return to visit.
It has been cool to see the progression in the investigators.
We finally got 2 more of our investigators to church, and they should
be baptized in a couple weeks if all goes as planned. They both loved church and it was good to see them
come.
This week has been a lot of biking around and talking to
people on the street. It has been good to see that when you just talk to everyone,
you find some awesome people. Two other people we found were down in the ghetto.
One was a guy who I thought would never be interested to hear us, but he was and
that was way awesome. I love it when stuff like that happens.
The first week of
the Spanish branch was way awesome. It was a decent sized branch. I was
surprised and when they get everything all organized. It will really be good.
