Everyone:
Well, this was kind of an interesting week, since we had the Fourth of July. On Tuesday, we tracted a lot, and while we taught some lessons and talked with some interesting people, we still don't seem to have found much of anyone new to teach.
On Wednesday, the Fourth of July, we ended up being invited to a barbecue with the Singles' Branch, ad barbecue with the Aguilar family, and dinner with the Singles' Branch President and his family.
On Thursday, we had our normal weekly planning, and did some tracting. Friday we had Zone Meeting, and had some short interviews with our new mission president, President Blackburn, and talked about how we can improve the mission. Then we went over and spent some time with a less active named Marrietta. She hasn't been to church for a really long time, but she had been praying for help the day before--she's going through cancer treatment--and then we felt like we should call her, and she ended up asking us to come over and give her a blessing on Friday. We had a good long talk and lesson and gave her a blessing, and she was really excited about coming back to church and having us come over regularly, but then she didn't show up at church yesterday, so we'll have to see how she is on our return appointment this week.
On Saturday I had splits with our District Leader, Elder Stapleton, down in Hawthorne. We did a good bit of tracting and I got to practice my Spanish a lot more than I do here, and then we spent a lot of time in the evening at a baptismal interview that he was doing for some investigators of another companionship in our district.
On Sunday, we had our normal day of meetings, and then we visited Carmen Franco, who hadn't been at church (apparently she slept through her alarm) and encouraged her, and then stopped by briefly with the Aguilar family. We finally were able to talk for a little with Hermano Aguilar alone about why he isn't coming to church, so hopefully we'll finally start making some progress with him.
Today we went to a Science museam for our Zone Activity, did laundry, and washed our car. We're still going to do some grocery shopping and such today, and then talk some more with Hermano Aguilar.
Elder Stephens
Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever. --D&C 122:9
