First off: the earthquake. Don't you worry, I'm fine. I
slept right through it, and nothing happened to anyone I know. My picture
frames on my desk didn't even fall over. My companion woke up for it, but he
said it felt like when you pull up to a red light, and you rock forward in your
seat a little bit. Seriously, we're good.
As far as the work goes, I've gotten to teach about 8
lessons last week, but all of them have been with less active members, and
we're just trying to get them to come back to church and stuff. So no new
investigators yet... But it's been super humbling seeing how so many people are
living. Even in San Francisco. I've been in apartments that are smaller than my
bathroom back home. and it's just packed with junk. and it only has room for
like, a bed. So everything they own is piled on the foot of the bed, and they
must just sleep curled up in a little ball or something. But they're always
smiling. It's a really humbling experience for sure.
But since we haven't really had any new investigators, I
have actually been kind of discouraged this past week. It's just hard walking
miles to try to visit somebody, and then having them yell at you that they're
not interested, and then having to walk miles back home... :/ that happened
like 3 times.
Other than that, All is well. We are trying to set up
lessons with a girl named Mila, Betty's sister. And I should have to teach an
English lesson to spanish speakers pretty soon. So I'll let you know about that.
Love you all! Oh, and PS, some of you were asking, and my
mission home address is
4945 Lincoln Way
Oakland, California
94602-2594
Thanks! Elder Webster
