Hola
Familia/ Amigos
Well
this has been another great week, in the Rio Vista area. It is a little
different this week, because today is Tuesday and I am emailing today
because we went to the Temple this morning that counted as our P-Day, so now we
have the rest of the day, from whenever we got back from the temple until dinner,
to do everything we need to do on our normal P-Day! This has really thrown us
for a Loop, because where do we do our shopping now? We usually go to
Fairfield, but it looks like that won't be happening. Ha ha However, I can't
complain too much since I had the wonderful opportunity to be able to go to the
Lords house!
Things
are going absolutely wonderful here in Rio Vista, I am learning a lot of patience,
but it's good for me. We are striving to work as hard as possible, even though
sometimes it makes my companions mad at me, but I just continue working hard,
because I know the cure for anything and everything is HARDWORK!
This
morning while I was in the temple, it really made me look back on the year and
a half of my life, and see if I have made a difference, or became who the Savior
wants me to become. I asked myself a few personal questions, and it truly has
made me realize, that with only 6 months left on this journey, I need to still
learn a lot. So these last 6 months I will be working harder than ever,
focusing on learning as much as possible, and more than anything becoming who
the Savior wants me to become.
Last
Monday being P-Day we had the opportunity to go to Fairfield. Basketball is a
lot of fun now here in this zone, with probably the best players in it. We went
hard, Elder Choffin went to Sugar Salem High school! He is super sick, and we
get a long so well, and when we played together we meshed like no other. It was
sweet. We just kept telling each other we
played well together because we are both from Idaho, and Idaho boys, know how
to play! Ha ha It was super interesting.
Oh
yea another interesting night was Thursday evening, we headed out to Birds Landing
which is about 20 miles from town, and on our way out there, we were driving in
a little bit of fog, and all of the sudden I rounded a corner going about 65
and I couldn't see anything but like 7 feet in front of us. With that it meant
that we couldn't drive any faster than like 15 miles per hour. So a twenty
minute drive, became like 45. On our way back, it was even worse. I was so
surprised by how crazy the fog gets around here.
Sunday was
a super good Sunday! The talks in Sacrament meeting were great, and
exactly what some of our investigators needed to hear! We had 2 families make
it to church Sunday, and we even had a less active family make it to
church who hadn't been to church in probably... A long time. She is super
sweet, and her kids are awesome! They are a great little family. We are working
with Dad!
Super
crazy, and interesting story this week. Brother Jacobsen who is an absolutely
amazing man, and whose daughters will be coming by the house tomorrow evening
sometime, with a few of my things, has begun to try and set me up with his
daughter who is currently serving a mission in Chicago. It's kind of
interesting, but he even called me his future son-n-law! Ha ha he is super
funny, and an awesome man! I love him and his family! They are amazing!
Overall
though, things are going really well! I absolutely love this area, and am
enjoying serving the people here. I have absolutely come to love the area, and
the people! I am enjoying working with them as well.
Things
are going absolutely amazing! I hope you all have absolutely a wonderful Thanksgiving,
remember that I am so very thankful for each and everyone of you! I love you
all so much!
Love,
Elder
