01/04/2010 - Week 34

I am living out of my ward boundaries on Acacia and Chapman. Matthew, I am still living in Orange County, so the shirt is still from where I am living. Yep, a shiny new van. It reminds me of the drivers ed days. I don't do any freeway driving so it isn't too difficult, and my companion is a really good gps. Some missionaries have an actual GPS but our Thomas Guide does a really good job. Plus our area is pretty small.

The ward here is pretty good. The hardest part is that we are sharing the ward with another pair of missionaries. The boundaries of our ward have just changed last transfer so everything is all mixed up. We have got the area book all sorted, now. The Euclid ward is very similar to Orange 3rd. A lot of Fullerton College Optometery students mixed with old people. Parts of our area are quite well off. Yes, we have some very large houses. In general, the people we have been contacting have been a little more receptive to listen to us. We will see how it goes. Cool coincidence: When we were teaching Lauren, a newly married couple (her friends) came to our lessons. They attend in our ward. In the past we have eaten 3 dinners and had 3 lessons with them at their parents home in orange. That was a nice surprise to see them. We have one investigator, and she has a baptismal date for jan 16 (i think). We will meet her tomorrow. Elder Lim has only been out for 1 transfer but he his way cool. We get along great. He is from Korea, Canada, and Utah.
