Another week in the books. I'm a little frustrated
right now because I cant seem to figure out how to send pics. I promise
I'm still good looking. I can only say that because Bro Dowling told me
that Blake is evidence that you only get better looking on the mission
and it's hard to improve on perfection. Haahaa I'll try again next week with pics.
Anyway, this week has been crazy but in a great way.
On Friday
I had a great meeting with my mission president. He basically told me that
he is going to give me a lot of challenges here in the mission; things I
will be able to handle but that will really test my patience etc.
Bring it on!!
In a lot of ways this week has been the best
week of the mission. Mom, I don't know how different the church is where Austin served but its completely different here in san fran. The bishop
told us on Saturday
that there are almost 600 members on record here in my barrio but only
about 45 regularly attend. Our ward mission leader (we had our first
meeting together yesterday) told us that all the members here and only Sunday members. It was very discouraging to hear this but how do you respond to adversity? WORK! Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
we've worked with members constantly, done exchanges etc. We've really seen
the fruits of this in the past few days. It just feels good ending the
night knowing that there wasn't one more person we could have taught.
As
for our progressing investies: We have three baptisms set for the 7th. Pray for them that they will continue to feel the spirit etc!
As
foe some worldly news this week lod gigantes de san fran won the
basically world series of the Caribbean here in san fran. The whole
city has been partying non stop since Sunday night....people burning
tires, drinking, shooting guns. Sunday night we saw a group of youngins pushing a burning refrigerator down the street...gotta love san fran!
Mom, I promise I'll stay safe, love you!
Elder Blake
