That sounds like a really good talk and I’ll have to read it when we get our Ensign! I’m jealous about the storms. It rained here today off and on but that’s all the rain there has been in the last like 4 weeks. Apparently it’s been a really dry year here in California and Utah too I hear. That’s great to hear about Lyndsi's basketball team! We play basketball every Thursday night with the Polys (correct my spelling if I’m wrong) that live around here and there are about 15-20 people that come and all but like 3 are non members so it’s good to get to interact with them! Tuesday nights we play Volleyball which is pretty fun too! Last week after I emailed not a whole lot happened. We did a lot of Tracting and contacting but didn’t get many contacts. The houses here are really spread apart so like to tract a street it takes like 45 minutes to do half of a big street here and you get maybe 8 doors to knock on... not too good but it’s alright. Sometimes we get lucky and meet some good people. We had a zone challenge this week to see who could hand out the most Book of Mormons. We came in second with 15. That was the weekly challenge. One of the daily challenges was to give out a pass along card at a cross walk. 5 points for someone walking and double if they are in a car. Well we were at Burger King and so we went out to the cross walk. Waited for a car and I walked out holding up a card of the temple and they rolled the window down. I told them it was for the LDS church and it was a website and then the car behind them honked so we quickly went back to the sidewalk. hahaha it was pretty sweet! But oh yes! We did meet a Less Active family/Part member family! The mom is a member but her husband and daughter are not. We had met their son once who apparently doesn’t live there anymore he was just on break. And so he told us to come back in a couple days so we did and the dad answered and let us in and we sat down and talked with them for about an hour and a half and they gave us water and doughnuts! It was pretty awesome and they are a way cool family. They don’t seem all that interested but they definitely weren’t pushing us away which was good. On Friday we had a zone conference that went longer than planned. It went from 8 in the morning to 2. Then we had a like 30-40 minute drive back to Barstow. yayy.. But it was really good and I got to see the AP's! One is from St George and is a funny kid and the other was one of my zone leaders in Rancho and he is recently the new AP and is probably one of my favorite people out here. But yeah it was good!! So I’ve decided that we are going to start visiting lots of members because one of our roommates said something that really bugged me. When I asked about an active family he said he didn’t know them because "they haven’t fed us dinner" I wanted to slap him. He doesn’t know half the families in the ward and he has been here for almost 6 months! I knew EVERYBODY that was active in my first ward and I was there for 3 months. I knew MOST people in Chaffey and I was there for 6 weeks. So I decided I want these members to know who I am so I’m going to go meet them all. Even if they don’t feed us dinner! So this next week should go pretty well. We have a lesson with an investigator tonight, one tomorrow night, we are helping a guy with his house on Wednesday, we have a possible new investigator on Thursday, and yeah other stuff too but it should be a great week! Oh we also did some service on Saturday morning for a member out in Newberry. I now know how to put up drywall. haha it was a pretty fun service day! But yeah that’s it for this last week! Wish us luck for this week because we are hoping to set possibly 4 baptismal dates! Love you lots!!
