Well it's finally here. This past week has been pretty interesting. An elder went home so we're in a trio with his companion for the rest of the transfer. Three other missionaries are going home as well, all of them before me which is sad. On Monday we found this part member family that moved in to the ward. They're way cool and have some un-baptized children. They came to church yesterday! And then during three minutes of passing one of them got offended by a member and left, RIP. On Saturday I was on exchanges with one of the assistants down in Rancho. We talked the whole day about cars and music and it was a nice break. Looking forward to this week I have my departing interview on Thursday and then departing Temple trip and FHE on Friday. Sunday afternoon I go down to the office and hangout with the assistants until they take me to the airport the next morning. If you've made it this far and you're reading this then congratulations! You've mad...
This week was pretty good down here in Southern California. On Saturday we met up with Amanda. We found Amanda last week when Elder Talbot and I were on exchanges. While we were having our first lesson with her I feel like I got a slight glimpse of how God sees us. Amanda has a lot of tattoos and told us she considers herself a tom boy. She looks and acts the part giving us a few short stories from her spotty past. But what's amazing is that none of that matters. When I looked at her I was simply glad that she was sitting there talking to us, recognizing that she needed a slight course correction. She was open and she was sharing the light that she had with us, as limited as it was, she treasured it. And we sit there so glad that she is at least willing to try to gain more light. And there we are with a message that will change her life forever. It won't be easy, it isn't easy for any of us, but it will be worth that and we know that. I think that is how God sees ...
