Well, I have to be kinda short because we are at the library and may have to share our email time. We had to do some service in the middle of our p-day and that screwed us up a little bit. It is good, though. Well, this week has been pretty routine but good. I went on exchanges Saturday with Elder Lawrence (my district leader), and it was a great day. We have gotten pretty close, being together in the field for the past 3 transfers in addition to the time we roomed together in the MTC. We went to see a less active man the bishop wanted us to check up on. He ended up being a really cool guy. He in his 30's and he wanted to come to church. He hadn't gone since he moved in the area. Then, on Sunday he came! Bahman, too! Remember Bahman, the Iranian guy? We were teaching him a while back. Since then, we have been going by monthly and calling every once in a while to invite him to church. What do you know, he showed up this week. It was a really good weekend!!! I have done a lot better this week. Elder Scott and I still get along great, but our unity could be better.
If I could describe the work here, I would use these phrases: Faith that the Lords will act though us. Persistance in friendship and kindness. Patiently waiting. Joy in seeing the Holy Ghost work through us. It is so hard to write what I feel and do. I don't know if you can understand that, but anyways... I have become at home here. This Sunday, I can finally say I have become a part of the ward family. I know the members and feel like I have become their friend. Being at church this week was really good. It amazes me how so many different people can grow together as a people and grow together in their faith in Christ. And, how someone, just passing through, like me, can have a part of it, too. Our Heavenly Father really does know each of us individually and he shares his love for us in so many different ways. I have really felt that this past week.
