This last week was fast. We helped some members move, and that was sad because the Ward loved them. I think I mentioned this in my last email, but I found out one of the members' sisters just got home from her mission and had reported tot he MTC the same day as me. Weird!
We met with a less active named Ashlee, that we got as a referral from Mormon.org. She had seen us several times and felt like she should talk to us. So she got ahold of us on Mormon.org- that was cool. But she dropped us. She said she had somethings she needed to "work out". In reality she feels guilty because she knows she's got some changes she needs to make in life. She expressed desire to go to the temple- but the thought of going and talking to the Bishop really scares her. Repentance shouldn't be scary, it is to people, but it shouldn't be. I loved how Elder Christofferson talked about it being said with a smile on our faces. Because repentance is GOOD! We're changing to be like our Savior and our Father in Heaven.
Friday we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders. It was a good exchange. It was hard though, because we didn't have the car that week, so there was a lot of walking. They were a bit unhappy about that, but we can't help it if we don't have bikes. I'm not going to by one too, because biking is not my thing. I like to walk.
We've been helping a member build a shed. It's pretty cool to see it going up. We are starting on the roof next week, so that's going to be fun.
It's been pretty hot out here. It's been somewhere in the 80's-90's. It's going to get hotter too, because the humidity isn't here yet. That's going to be a blast.
Thomas is progressing really well. He's actually ready for baptism, we just need to get some more things in order, and he should be good. Becky is running a little slower just because she's been busy. We might have to push her back a little, just for times sake. But we will see what happens. They are both progressing very well. I love Thomas and his family. They are such good people. Thomas is married to a member, and her family is in the ward as well. They all love Thomas so much, and are ecstatic that he is going to be baptized. I too am way excited. It's weird to think in a few months Randy, one of my recent converts in Fairfield, and his wife will be going to temple in a few months! He has the melchizedek priesthood and is going strong! I'm so happy to hear that! Man, I need to call that guy.
Interviews is this week, and I am excited. I love interviews! I'm going to have to get my temple recommend renewed by President Jergensen. That's so weird to think it has been almost 2 years since I first got a temple recommend.
Sunday a member brought her friend to church. The experience for her was really good, and I guess she got whatever it was that she needed because later that day the sister called us and told us her friend wants to know how she can get baptized! So we're going to start teaching her now. Miracles do happen!
Anyways, I realized this last week that this year is the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. That's kind of a bummer that I'll miss it. I love the Summer Olympics. They're sweet. London is cool too. So it'll be a good one, but I'm hoping my family will record all my favorite events. (girls gymnastics and volleyball are SWEET- the sport part that is). But if I miss it then oh well, I get to baptize people and help save souls!
Anyways, I'm bored.
Bye
Elder Prows
