Glad to hear you guys had an exciting week. That's awesome to hear about your Job offers! Our address is 501 West hacienda Avenue Apt. D30 Campbell, California. Sounds like a lot of fun with the Pumpkin sling shot.
It's been a great week. We spent a lot of time in the Spanish Ghettos and looking for Potential investigators. Our teaching pool is starting to build up a lot more. We've got a few people we're teaching. So that's awesome. There's a few neighborhoods where we can almost always find a bunch of people walking about. We have a lot of less actives that live in those areas as well. So we've just been going and visiting them and talking to everyone we can on the way.
We met a man sitting out on the side walk in a lawn chair. His name is Nacho. Apparently he had been in a car crash last march and is recovering from having several ribs and other bones broken. We talked to him for a while and he invited us back. We didn't think we heard his name right the first time he told us. We asked him again and he said "Nacho, Como Nacho Cheese". He seemed like a really pleasant guy. He was also pretty interested in the Gospel lessons.
We also have another investigator named Silvia. She has a son that's about 5 or 6 years old named Fransisco. We found her as we were walking around in one of these neighborhoods. We've had a couple lessons with her. We're also trying to get one of the members of the ward to come fellowship her. She seems decently interested. This Wednesday we're going to try to commit her to prepare to be baptized. So I'm excited for that.
We talked to a bunch of other people but those are the ones that stood out the most. I'm just happy to have people to teach.
Also this week, We went on exchanges for a while when new missionaries were in a meeting. I ended up going on exchanges with one of the Mandarin Elders. His name is Elder Wei. He's super awesome. We actually went contacting in one of those neighborhoods I was talking about. We covered basically all of the languages there. There were a lot of people that only spoke Spanish or Only spoke Mandarin. So that was a lot of fun.
I got to go to church in the Moorpark ward this Sunday. This was the first time since last week was Stake Conference. It seemed a little bit weird going to an English ward again. It was also testimony meeting right after the election. So that was interesting. We had to teach Elder's quorum in the Spanish Branch since the teacher wasn't there. It went well. We just talked about President Henry B. Eyring's conference talk "that he may become strong also". It's not that hard to prepare a lesson in this Spanish Branch since everyones more than happy to comment so it's more like a discussion which is awesome. It was also nice to finally get to meet everyone in the Ward and Branch.
It's been a good week. Things are going well here. I hope you guys have a great week.
Love,
Elder Jones
