This
was actually taken in Stafford, but it describes the area pretty well.
Its not exactly the cleanest place, or the happiest place. Its kind of
depressing actually. Downtown Rosenburg is a sight to see. We have
more members that are interesting people.... More members not worthy to
take the sacrament, some people that have schizophrenia, and just kind
of unexpected stuff. Yeah, I wouldn't want to live here.
But there is always work to do of course. Lots of
members to see, because the branch could use some strengthening of
course. Finding is hard, because people here kind of just stay here.
They don't work in like awesome places up in Houston, at least not all
do, and the place where there are normal people in "Rich"mond are far
away and hard to find. So we go on of course.
This week what happened. I don't really know, its
all a blur, but we did teach two investigator lessons again this week!
.... But the members are cool. We still get fed here and people are
good. We spent time looking for members to teach. Friday was exchanges
though. I went up to Houston 4 with Elder Huntsman. It was nice
having lessons to teach for a day. Oh yeah, Thursday we had an atonement
training with president. It was a zone conference a month or two
before I came out on my mish, and so all the newbies got to hear it.
Saturday we had a casa abierta (open house for all
you gringoes out there) and it was a good experience. Mostly because I
got to help people in the ward and stuff. We shared a thing about
baptism. The ward mission leader's mother-in-law was there. We then
taught her on Sunday. She's heard the lessons a lot in her life, but
just isn't baptized. She is catolica and such, but she is basically
ready and has definitely felt a spirit. If anybody can get baptized
like next week in this area, its her. First I need to find out her
name. The Hernandez family is the family I'm talking about and they
made us Chile Rellenos :-). They were super good, and then hermano and
hermana just tried to convince the madre to get baptized, but we know
how that works. Or how it doesn't.
But anyways, I'm low on time today, so I love you all and I pray for you all. I don't really have much more to say, but try praying for fifteen minutes a day, it works wonders.
