So, when I arrived here last week, we went to teach a less active lady and her daughter. Her daughter, 13, hasn't been baptized yet, because her father says he won't allow it until she is 18. She really wants to be baptized, but her dad won't allow it. But, we went to their house yesterday, and he was there! Elder Anderson said he has never seen him before in the 2 months he has been here. So, that was good! From what I could tell, her dad said that she could be baptized if she showed a desire to go to church and not fall away, like her mom has. So, hopefully that will start happening! When we were finished with that appointment (this is last Tuesday), we went to In-N-Out because neither of us had eaten. (Transfer days are SO busy). So, we went to go order, and while we were ordering, so guy walks up, tells us to order and then he paid for us! Then he left with the people he was with. It was so cool!
This area I am in right now is pretty dead. There are like, 4 investigators, which is good, but other than that, not much is happening. One of the investigators had a baptism date for this Saturday, and he seemed really excited to be baptized! But, recently, he has been acting weird and says he has stuff to do and vacation until the end of May... We don't know what's going on with him, but we are sad :(
On Sunday, we had stake conference, where they realeased the old stake presidency and ordained a new one. Two of the Seventys came down and it was pretty cool. One of them quoted President Eyring and said, "The Savior lets us feel his love for those that we serve." Being a missionary, that is so true! As missionaries, we are able to have such love for people we hardly know. When that happens, it's just another testimony builder about how true this Gospel really is. It's really cool. I love being a missionary.
And yesterday, we had Zone Conference! This zone is a lot bigger than the last one I was in. I learned a lot of good things that I can apply to the work I am doing now. President Cook was defintely called of God to come and be a mission president here. He is SO AWESOME.
So, you figured out what was wrong with Jaxon?! Yay! He doesn't have a gallbladder?! That's really strange. Hopefully that's what is wrong with him and the doctors can fix it! That's crazy that he and Dad both had gallbladder problems around the same time.
I did see the ecplise, but definitely not as cool as you did! Or John! It was really cloudy over here in Vista that day, so it was a lot more difficult to see :( but we did see it and it was awesome!
I don't even want to think about turning 20 in a few weeks... I am going to be so old! No more teen years!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like the poster! What's the yellow paper? And all the writing under the colored dots? The picture you sent me was kind of small, so when I zoom in, I can't read it :(
So, I think that's it for this week! I really like it here in Vista so far, and Elder Anderson is a good companion! The work is a little slow right now, but we are going to pick it up!
I love you all!
Love, Elder Hunt
