Letter from Sept. 22, 2014
Dear Mom,
You are the best, but also crazy!!! My
companion and good friend, Elder Rentz thought that was pretty funny
what you did to my passcode... I will talk to you more
about education later, but thank you so much for making life easy
for me, Mom! I love and appreciate the fact that you took the time to
help me to get the details and obstacles out of the way so it can
be a very smooth transition when I come home.
As far as
the mission goes, life goes on and Elder Williams and I are continuing to be
Bausses!! We just got 25 lessons last week and we have been picking up
new investigators. Two of them are from an investigator we are already
teaching named Armando. Armando is a 17 year-old kid who really was
prepared to receive the gospel. At first his parents weren't all for it,
especially when he accepted a baptismal date for Oct. 18,
but as they saw the changes he was making, they were curious to
understand why he was doing what he was doing. Now we are teaching them
and his younger brother. Brian is still trudging along. It's been tough
because he hasn't been able to come to church, but he still has his eye
on the prize and his mother gets off work soon, meaning that her
schedule will be a lot more flexible. In short, winning!!
Today
was an awesome pday because I went to Coloma which is a site for gold
discovery that was established by the Mormon Battalion. It has some
interesting stories and a fantastic history about the saints back then.
Sadly, we didn't have time for most of it that and there was a huge
wildfire that had happened before we got there so there was a lot of
smoke and the view wasn't that great, but we still had fun. Later
our buddy Mike, you will meet him soon (he is da bomb!!!), took us to
Deseret bookstore (I couldn't buy anything I had no $$), then to the DI
to get some mission library stuff, then to nike because mike decided
that my tennis shoes are utter crap and that I need to stop pulling the
proud card and ask for help. So he was a boss and got me new shoes. They
are nice and I'll send a pic when I can. In short I'm happy. Well
anyway, I love you mom and I will do better about email next week.
Love,
