07/19/2010 - Week 62

P-day is here again. Well, this week, Elder Bickmore and I met with Peggy again. She wants a couple weeks to think about the Restoration and Plan of Salvation. Two weeks is a very long time for a missionary, but we will be patient. Our ward mission leader is going to try and arrange a time that him, his family, and her can walk around the temple together. That will be really good. She is a very kind lady. We didn't teach any of the other people due to various circumstances. We did tract into a really nice Russian guy. His family has been Russian Orthodox 7 generations, but he said if that wasn't the case he would be mormon. We invited him to visit church but he didn't come. I can feel the Lord sustaining me through the various trials of being a missionary, but it still isn't easy. I had an exchange this week, and it was really fun. I went to the Newport Hills ward. It is very scenic. Paradise. You go down along the coast and see the waves and sand (and very expensive cars). Then, you can go up to the top of the hills and see the coast and beautiful landscape (and pollution).
