Well I’ll start off by telling you about my companion. He is from Idaho and his name is Elder H. He is going to be a super awesome companion and I have the feeling we will get along really well and have some pretty good success! As for the area I’m in well I’m going to tell a little story. Last night we ate dinner at a couple’s house in the ward and they were talking about how their daughter married someone from St George but I didn’t think anything about it because lots of people have said that. So we eat dinner and share a scripture thought and then the dad says "Let me show you a picture of the guy my daughter married and just see if you know him." He picked up a picture and what do you know it was my "Big Brother" Brandon Stocks! We ate dinner at Steph's parent’s house last night!! It was a really big shock to me! I didn’t even know her family was from here. So yeah I’m in Rancho Cucamonga. It is an awesome area and the ward seems pretty awesome too! It’s a very wealthy area which means that some people just are kind of jerks and don’t want anything to do with us. Oh well it’s their loss. As for the week we taught a few lessons but I’m still trying to figure everything out in this area so I’m not going to go into many details about who we taught and about what because I still don’t really know! haha we ended up tracting a bit the last couple weeks and we prayed before we left and picked a street that felt right and both days we tracted we got a return appointment! One was with a sophomore boy in high school the other was with a freshman girl in High School so we will hopefully be meeting with them this next week! I’m really excited! It was a really big shock when we asked "would you be interested in hearing more of our message?" and the boy said "yeah actually I would." so we set that up for Tuesday and when we knocked on the girl’s door she answered and when we asked if she would be interested in hearing more she said "yeah let me go get my family. Come on in." It was the first time we got invited into someone’s house while tracting!! But she said her dad apologized and said he was too tired because it was his only day off. But we set a return appointment for her on Wednesday! Yep it was pretty awesome! I’m really excited that its Christmas time! We are going to start gathering Christmas Decorations and what not to decorate our apartment with and see if any of the members have an old extra Tree around that we can use! Oh yeah I’m in an apartment and its a super nice one too! It’s me and Elder H. And another companionship Elder C (came out the same day as me), and Elder. It’s super awesome and we all get along really well and have a good time at nights when we are all back in. Oh and about "not looking as slim as I was" that’s because when I came out I was between 125 and 128lbs now I’m between 139 and 142lbs hahaha but it’s okay because I’m in a bike area now so I’m working it off/working it into muscle. So all in all its been a really good week and this next week should be awesome too. We have 6 set appointments already so we will see how they go and we are going to keep looking for more. I love you all so much and miss you!!
Just a couple other things! I’m so happy that Josh had his Farewell!!! I’m so excited for him!
I’m already half full on my memory card and we are adding to it every day. There are a lot of cool picture opportunities in my area. You will see them soon! A couple more Christmas ideas. blank Cd's (:
