Week Fifty-five:  Fall Through [August 13,2018]

Hi Everyone! 

This week has been pretty interesting. We had 8 appointments but only one actually happened. Aside from that though. The week was good. 

The one appointment  we did have was interesting. It was with a recent convert who has pretty much lost his testimony. It sounded like he was exposed to anti, which is sad. 

I went on an exchange with Elder Jones. Most of the day was going by people (with not much happening). We had one guy that tried to Bible bash with us which is always a joy *sarcasm*.

 We went to go see one of the widows in the ward and it turned out that she had some family visiting from Utah. Because of this we were able to go inside to visit and we were able to come back the next day for some service and dinner. 

Saturday we went to Santa Maria to see the baptism of someone named Lindzey who Elder Fenn taught while he was there. I love the Spirit that is always felt at baptisms even though I don't know who the people are. You can always feel the love of our Heavenly Father. 

Yesterday we we met a guy that invited us in his home and gave us some pretty good food. He wasn't interested but he was very nice. 

Sorry this email is shorter than usual. Not a ton of stuff happened. It's crazy how fast the time is going here! It doesn't feel like I've been here for 5 weeks!

Have an awesome week!
