Email letter - July 24, 2012


Hey all sorry I'm a day late. The library computers are down and we had to wait to get permission to use a member's house. All is well though.
This week was another good one. No complaints here. We're working hard and doing well. This last week we found another person to teach in Hayfork. Everything to do with this investigator is an adventure. The members that found her for us used to own two companies in Vegas, but sold it all so they could travel in an RV and go and do whatever they please. Where she lives is an adventure to get there. She lives about 10 miles outside of Hayfork, about a third of the way to Hyampom, in the mountain country famous for people wanting to get away and "farm". To actually get to her house, after you get off the paved road, you still have 3 miles to go, through a creek, around a "farm" and another miles strait uphill. Sounds like a blast eh? I sure think so. I'm just glad our little car was able to make it. I think we'll film the way out to her place and use it to convince the senior missionary over cars to give us a truck!
In other news, just one of our frustrations this last week was our Branch President moving the baptismal date of the investigator we've been working hard with out in Hayfork, without talking to us about it first, so his wife could be there. I'm not too big on moving dates back, not that I'm worried about this particular investigator, but it just gives a bit more time for the adversary to work on him. Plus, our investigator was heart broken, but went with it anyway because he is a very good guy. He wanted to join the 27 club, by having his old life end on the 27th. But in stead it'll happen on the 10th of next month. There's a transfer between now and then so we hope that both Elder Bennion and I are still around for it. There's equal chance for either of us to go, if either of us do. We'll see how it goes I guess.
This last week between the 2 areas we had 2 investigators and 4 Less-Actives at church, which is fantastic. We're happy to see them all progress. It makes us happy to see others let themselves become happier by following the Lord's commandments.
Other than that there isn't too much going on. Just the usual with the same people, doing the same thing. At least we know repetition is the Lord's way to teach right? Right! Have a great week everyone I love you all!
