June 30, 2008

The work here in Tracy is still going really well. This is really going to be an exciting week. We have a Baptism set up for July 5th and then we will have the opportunity to meet our new Mission President. We have a family of 4 that we hope will be getting baptized sometime in July. I'm so excited.

I can't believe I have been serving for 12 months. My companion Elder H is on his second week in the mission field and is a pretty amazing missionary.

Our old apartment was so crappy we had to move. Our new one has some issues like the dryer squeaks super loud and we discovered while trying to bake brownies that the oven doesn't work. But we will survive! We went grocery shopping today so at least we actually have food now.

My mission is going great. I can not only notice a huge difference in my life, but in the people I'm able to teach. I know the Lord needed me to serve in this area and if I just put everything I have into serving, I'll be blessed. I believe strongly in Alma 26:12. (That's my favorite scripture.)

Keep reading the Book of Mormon!
Love, Elder S

Where is your new companion from? Oh, I guess you can't really answer that, but I'm curious. I'm glad you got a new apartment...

Happy Birthday in a couple of weeks. Let me know when you get my card.... Keep up the good work. We are soooooo proud of you!
