Remember that time we taught at the high school with our bishop? Well, bishop invited the class to our youth Iron Chef activity, and 3 came! Elder Lee was one of the judges of the food because he is not as biased as I am (I have been here for a while). Well, all is good because the girls team won, the nonmember youth got invited to church by some good missionaries and they seemed to want to come, and those good missionaries got to eat lots of food.
We found someone new to teach this week! We knocked into a less active who was not on the ward list. Robert is so cool! He is a 47 year old, ballroom dancer guy. He hasn't been active for 15 years, but he served a mission in Germany. His testimony of the church is so strong. We just have to help him shift his desires from sinning to being righteous. I think he is kinda tired of it anyways.
Christine is doing well. We got her set up with a new baptismal date, and she attended all 4 sessions of conference. She knows a member who lives by her dad. She was able to go with him to a 1st councilers house to watch conference and be fellowshipped by the family and singles ward over there! Hope is shining bright for her. She even cooked us and our ward mission leader's family some dinner this week! She is so cool.
My patiences is really being stretched this transfer. The blessings for our inverstigators and ourselves our finally coming into reach.
At the Preisthood session of General Conference, I saw Bro Herrara. A great brother from Orange, who was recently reactivated. I stood in the circle to give the melcesidek priesthood and he is still being a faithfull priesthood holder!
This week had a lot of really high highs, but it did have its lows, but they are really boring and typical, so I won't bore you with them.
Nathan is serving a 2-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Anaheim-California Mission. He started May 13, 2009 after completing his Freshman year as a Chemistry Major at Brigham Young University. His first 9 weeks were at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. He arrived in Anaheim on July 14, 2009. The following are snippets of his letters so friends and family can track his adventures.
