Well I’m a little late emailing again. The library was closed on Monday and so we were going to come Tuesday to email but I woke up really early Tuesday morning around 1 and was extremely sick. I was up all night and spent all the next day feeling awful. I couldn’t keep anything down. Anything at all. And it was awful. Luckily I slept through the night last night and am feeling great today! Just hungry and weak. My companion was a little sick yesterday too but we think it was just from hearing me be sick all night. But on the good news I lost a bit of weight! haha I’m sure I’ll get it back soon though! Well this last week hasn’t been too bad! We passed out a couple of Book of Mormons and found a guy who is going to be spending a lot of time trying to repair a house he had bought and he was frustrated because in Barstow it is really hard to find help. So we offered our help and told him we would do it for free. He was very grateful and we are going to call him as soon as we are feeling up to going to help. We also handed out a Book of Mormon to a kid we tracted into that is in College and he said it would be alright if we went back this next week to see what he thought of the book. We also got a new investigator. Her name is T and she is a freshman in high school. Her mom is alright with us teaching her and just wants her daughter to find a religion that is best for her. It was a hectic lesson because there was a lot going on in the house but we taught most of the first lesson minus Joseph Smith because we wanted it to be a better time for that. We will be teaching her again tonight and watching the restoration video with her. We have also begun working with some less actives. I’m not sure if I told you in my last letter but there are somewhere around 600 Less Active members here in Barstow. It is pretty crazy. So we are going to start finding some we can work with. We had a pretty cool lesson last week with a less active member that Elder H and his last comp were working with. He drove us out a little ways into the hills and we had a lesson in the bed of his truck about the Book of Mormon because he isn’t too sure what it’s all about so we read the intro and some of our favorite scriptures with him. He said he wants to come back to church he just wants to quit smoking. He also said he wants to go to the temple and he wants us to help him know the sacrament prayer so that when he comes back he can bless the sacrament. It’s pretty cool! His house is also a pretty big mess and he asked if we would come help him clean sometime and just move some heavier stuff around. He really wants to change his life around and he realizes that the church is the way to do it. Other than that there hasn’t been a whole lot going on this last week. I’m really hoping that we can pick it up the next couple weeks before the end of the transfer. I keep feeling like we aren’t doing anything but at the same time I feel like we are working hard. It’s really weird and the only thing I can think is that just this area is one that is a harder one to work in and I’m just trying to get it started and am not quite sure how to do it. But I’m figuring it out and we will make this area explode. I feel like I might be here for a little while which doesn’t bother me too much. I just need to always remember to work my best!
