Hey
everyone! Nothing too exciting really went on, but I'll still keep you all
informed!
Monday, we went on an awesome hike that was up towards Mt.
Shasta! And that was pretty much about it.
Tuesday was a pretty solid day. We had a couple great lessons.
One of them being with this lady named Frankie Bobo. We contacted this one
potential investigator named Jeff Hunter. We knocked on his door and he thought
we were there to just hangout and like play video games with him. It was a little
odd, but it was kind of funny. We had dinner with the Brown family and they
were super awesome! They are converts of about 10 years and they told us their
conversion story. It's pretty cool. They were converted all because many years
ago the church, I guess, had commercials on TV and they ordered a VHS tape. For
some years the missionaries came by and would ask if they would be interested
but it wasn't until sometime later they finally said yes! The rest is history.
Wednesday was District meeting which is always a great time! We
then had a good lesson with our main man Todd! Todd is so great! We taught him
the Restoration of the Gospel and it was fantastic! Then I met with the Doctor
for all my diabetes stuff and that was good. What was awesome was while we were
sitting in the office waiting, they were playing some Christopher Cross so that
made me super happy, but also had me thinking of home, and that's not a good
thing! Elder Semeatu was feeling like crap so we stayed in the rest of the
night.
Thursday was just what I like to call, "The day of
NO'S!!!!" It was just one of those days that makes you really appreciate
the great days!
Friday was good ol' Weekly Planning. So, we did that for most of
the day and then we met with a man named TJ. TJ has had a pretty rough life. He
just got released from prison after being there for 19 years! He's a really
great guy who's just looking for the right path. He's been reading the Book of
Mormon lately and he said it has brought a lot of peace into his life! I always
love hearing people say that because it's the absolute truth!
Saturday, we just contacted a ton and attended a baptism for our
Zone Leaders. Then a recent convert in 5th Ward fed us dinner. His name is Gabe
and he is so awesome! We had a great talk with him and we are going to start
meeting with him weekly to try and get him to the temple!
Sunday was a very long day, but a good one! We had 7 hours of
church and oh boy, it takes a ton out of you, but it was great! Both 1st and
5th Ward are awesome and the members are just the best. We had a good lesson
with a man named Norman, who's been investigating the church for a couple years
now. He has a couple issues he needs to work out, but I have hope he can make
it to baptism!
Anyways, I love you all and am grateful for each and every one
of you! I miss you all dearly, but I'm so grateful for this time I've been
given to do the Lord's work and to share his Gospel with the people of
California. Have a great week everyone! Stay awesome!
Love,
Elder Schneiter
