Whoooooooooooooooooo.
Things
are going rough in Yuma. Everyone we wanted to get baptized this
transfer is giving us problems. Quiting smoking and... well mostly
smoking. Bob, an old guy who tries to get to church every week and loves
all of it and doesnt care what his friends have to say about the
mormons, is so ready, he just doesnt quite understand why he has to quit
smoking, and has been smoking for forever. He has to stop today in
order to get baptized on the March 5th. Same with our other almost
baptized investigator Erikah. She just needs to quit today! And I told
her. I told her everything she needs to do in order to get baptized.
Because of other circumstances, she needs a interview from the Mission
president, but I cant set that up untill she makes that effort. But I
know she will get baptized. She knows the church is true and wants to do
it really bad.
We also have another really good
investigator that we were hoping to get baptized this transfer, but we
missed them for like a week and a half and then she had a baby! Its a
little early, so its really little. Very cute. But they still want to
go to church and meet with us this sunday! I felt bad because she was
super tired when we came by yesterday...
Here's two pictures of me at the California border. Its litterally
down the street. Pretty crazy. It felt good to be in California for a
couple seconds.
I found a treasure! The first
good one I've found thus far. See, because us missionaries are always
out and about, we find lots of cool stuff just on the ground. One of
the Elders I live with has a little Buddah and these two old school
"Tomorrow Land" lappel pins. They're legit! But the otherday while
walking back from the Zone Leaders appartment in our same complex, I
found a burnt CD that has "50 Cent and T.I." mix on the front. We
listened to the first couple seconds of every song just to make sure it
worked, and it does! I'm totally keeping it forever. So I can listen
to it when I get home and say "I found this on the street in Yuma"
I
was trying to send a video but its too big and my camera died! But it
is of me and Elder Lindquist playing "Kids" by MGMT on a keyboard in
our appartment. Its pretty sweet. Next week!
Hopefully I'll have good news next week!
-Love
Elder Feller
Yay for California signs and for Tommorowland Pins! That is quite an amazing week! Glad it was a good week!
