December 3, 2007

I am still serving in Elk Grove. It's so sweet. But a lot different than Fair Oaks. WAY DIFFERENT. The only people we are teaching right now are African American people and it's been a great learning experience for me. I am very fortunate to take part in the baptism of Tiffany W. She is a lady I taught in my last area. On December 8, 2007 she is going to get baptized!
My new comp is Elder G. He is so funny. He totally reminds me of one of my good friends back home. We are having some pretty good success as well and that's been a blast! He loves to deer and duck hunt, it's pretty funny. He's awesome. We both made some Christmas cards that I'm going to be sending to all of you guys!
My new area is really sweet, a lot flatter! haha, so it's nice to be on a bike. The only problem is it's SO cold!! Today I am probably going to go buy me some warm clothes, cause I am dyin'. Well that's really all that's going on, the work is going great we are teaching a lot of lessons and I am having a blast. We are working very hard as well! I can't believe it's almost Christmas already. Time is just flyin'.

oh yeah,
me and Elder G. were in a very "inner city" apartment complex and we were tracting and it was dark and these 8 big guys started yellin' at us and and were like ready to fight us, and this lady was like, "aren't you guys scared here?" And Elder G. said, "No because we have the Lord on our side." They all looked at us and just walked away. It was pretty powerful. Just how much the Lord protects us out here.

Love,
Elder Squashy
