7/22

Hello, thanks for the update. It's good to hear Jessica's back at church, that's awesome. I'll keep praying for Norm and his family. 

We had a lot of the usual start of transfer business this week. A couple meetings, driving some people around and that sort of stuff. But, we had some good stuff happen with one of the people we are teaching named Alex. He said he likes listening to us, he just has a hard time remembering to read and stuff when we aren't around. So, this week we decided to try to have a lot more contact with him to try to help him out. We went with him to a ward activity on Monday, taught him a lesson on Tuesday, took him to institute on Wednesday, and taught him again on Friday. He works on the weekends though, which makes church a hard thing for him. 

Aside from that we had one of the main people we're teaching get a new job where he works seven days a week. He still likes the church and wants to get baptized, but he's a lot harder to meet with now. Then the other solid person we were teaching just up and moved out on us! We taught him one day, then came back a few days later and his apartment was empty with a "For Lease" sign outside. So that was a bit of a bummer. But, the work continues, and we did find a couple of neat people to follow up with this. We were finding at a complex near the college and there was a group of guys from the football team and a couple of girls with them. Elder Del'pontone asked if we could share a video about Jesus Christ, and right away one girl said no. But, another guy said he'd watch it, and his friend came over as well. We got talking to them after the video a bit about what we do and about the Book of Mormon, and they were really excited to learn more.

Well, outta time. I love you!

Probably the tightest parallel park you'll ever see. We had less than 6 inches total between us and the other cars. When the Lord needs you to park, you park.
