Man this week flew by!
Life is still going well in the greatest city on earth. Man I don't know where to start!
Thursday
I was having a tough day with my comp, I think he's a little frustrated he dosn't have a Latino comp y a veces yo quiero un gringo
comp! I told Oldroyd my MTC comp in a letter before I left that I knew I
was going to have problems like this with my first comp. Anyway I
called it! And know that I am supposed to learn something with Elder Rod. He's great, but we just have our differences.
It was cool though, Friday night our zone leaders called and told us we were going to have an inter combio Friday.
They just felt inspired to let us know. It was muchhhhhh needed, I love
working with Elder Zotello, he only has three years in the church and
is testimony is so strong. We taught a blind man named Pablo Friday
who knew the New Testament forwards and back; we would teach something
about the restoration and he would give us a scrip and recite it...it
was awesome.
As for the rest of this week, Pablo and Enilda didn't show up to church on Sunday which was tough, however their boys have come every Sunday and are progressing. Were still hoping for their baptisms this December!
Okay, Ill add a quick spiritual thought. We taught one of our less active members this week Alma 17 through 19. Each chapter was another lesson. I can't remember the verse but I think is was Alma 17:9 and 10 when Ammon told the king that we was with there in his kingdom to serve. I love this scripture not because Ammon is basically this biggest savage missionary ever, but because his purpose was so simple. Service. Service, is basically the key to our work as missionaries and I believe it's just as important for non missionaries to serve as well. Mosiah 2:17, when you're in the service of your fellowman, you're only in the service of God. Keeping this perspective has helped me to further dedicate myself to this work.

I know that ive been called here to
San Francisco, with my comp for a reason. At times it is hard to get
along, but as Ammon told the king, my purpose is to serve. Servicio es
la clave!
Before
I sign off, have to give a big shout out to the Raiders. Best of luck
this week! Kick some Rocket butt and enjoy the turkey!
Con Amor,
Elder Blake
