Hey everyone!
This week in Gridley
has been pretty good. We've been driving around
trying to contact
everyone in the area book that the sisters were
teaching before. They
have a bunch of "new" investigators who haven't
been taught in months
(or in some cases years) and it doesn't say why.
I guess they just
never got around to dropping them. So now we're
cleaning up the area
book, finding out who's interested, who lives
where, etc.
We managed to find a
new investigator who expressed interest in coming
to church. We found him while trying to contact one
of the sisters'
investigators who apparently moved out months ago. He
was really friendly
and said we could drop by this week. Shotgunning
an area is a unique
experience. For now we're just trying to get to
know everyone.
Gridley is a nice place. There are tons of Mormons
here. It's almost
like Heber in a way.
We had interviews
with President on Friday - everything good there.
We're probably going
to be moving (again) in the next few weeks
because this little
house we're in right now stinks. It only has
electricity in half
of it, and there's no water pressure to speak of.
Sometimes the toilet
just stops working. So President is going to have
us move to a new
place, which is fine by me. I haven't even unpacked.
Lots of moving this
transfer I guess.
On Saturday we had a stake Pioneer Day party. There were
probably over
300 people there. We
got free hamburgers and ice cream, played some
softball, and
generally enjoyed ourselves. Speaking of softball, Elder
Roberts and I got
drafted onto the Spanish Branch's team in the stake
softball tournament
that's being played right now. We're playing in
the championships
next Saturday. I'll let you know how it went.
Well that's all the
news that's fit to print. Have a
fantastic time in Spain! Travel safe!
Love you all!
Jake
