07/12/2010 - Week 61

We haven't been able to coordinate another lesson with 15 year old Michael. We are going to stop by with a YM leader and a youth to try and help him feel comfortable getting involved in activities. Bob came to church. The members are doing a great job being involved with him. If we are not careful, they might even start teaching him the lessons for us, lol. Bob is really involved in his church. He was showing us video of him baptising his friend on the beach last week. yeah, he is a really good follower of Christ, and I hope we can help him take that a few steps further. We also taught a kind, older lady, Peggy. We brought one of her friends that she swims with every morning. She didn't even know that she was Mormon, lol. Peggy has read quite a bit of the Book of Mormon. It is funny, she didn't realize that 3 Nephi 11 wasn't happening in Jerusalem. She is beginning to understand the gospel. Hey! The singles ward gave us a referral, and we taught him this week. He is Indian and from Hindu background. He believes in God and feels like he is getting answers to his prayers! We are excited. This week has been really good. We taught 4 lessons, which is as much as the total lessons of the past 3 weeks. Don't worry, the rest of the mission is teaching and baptising like crazy. California isn't ready to fall into the ocean, yet!
