Email from 02.08.10



Hi Everyone,


The contacts are fine. Our teaching pool has about 6 investigators which is better than when I came in and there was really only one. We have some people who will be baptized within a couple of weeks, so that will be good if we can get them to come to church. That is the problem with all our investigators. They want to be baptized but not come to church. It is pretty frustrating sometimes lol.


My health is a lot better. We actually have a nutritionist in the ward, and he has given me some great ideas of how to boost my immune system, also he gave us something which is supposed to be really good against bacteria.


The bishopric didn’t have me speak but I did decide I better go up and bare my testimony, so the people would know who I am in the ward. I bore my testimony on how I was truly converted in the gospel and through my story I mentioned various things. After Sacrament meeting was over a women came over kind of crying and told me she loved my testimony and it really gave her hope for her son who is 25 and not active, and she really knows that he will come back to the church. So, I’m glad I could help someone out.


The salt and pepper combination is fine, I'm actually glad to be here. I finally get to speak what is in my heart, to people. Like sometimes when I speak/teach with the spirit, there have been 3 times now people just start crying. It is so amazing to see their lives changed like that.


My companion and I are doing well, he is a good guy. He has been out like 10 months I think maybe 11, and he is the oldest of the family. He lives in Oregon and was home schooled his whole life and so was his sister, and his two younger brothers. So he is pretty smart. I can just point at a tree or bush or fish or anything and he will tell me about them and their origins and the scientific term used for them, lol, kind of funny.


My wrist is fine if I don’t try to move it up or anything lol. I can move it down just fine and to the left. But, not very easily to the right or up, its all good.


We tracked on Super Bowl Sunday; we can’t go over to people’s homes anymore unless they have an investigator there. That means no dinner’s either, unless they have an investigator there. So, we haven’t had food from members since my last 2 weeks in El Portal. I’m wasting away here. It’s kind of getting hard to see me these days. The members were the only ones who kept me from the pure cereal Diet haha...but seriously. We implemented this rule because members thought their job was to feed the missionaries, when in reality it’s to find new investigators, so that’s why we have the rule now.


Love you guys so much. I really missed you guys today for some reason lol, so I was really excited to get your email.
