Everyone:
Well, the first thing I'll mention is that I got a new companion, since Elder Allred finished his mission. My new companion is Elder Bartholomew, from a town a bit west of Kansas City in Kansas. He actually came out a transfer after me, so yes, I am a senior companion now. Which means that I get to drive in LA traffic for probably the rest of my mission. We get along very well--he likes to write, and would probably like to write books after his mission, although he is realistic enough to realize that it probably won't be his day job.
Well, anyways, on Tuesday we took Elder Allred up to the mission home and then I spent the rest of the day in South-Central with Elder Hoskin and Elder Thurston.
On Wednesday, Elder Bartholomew transferred in, so we spent some time organizing the apartment and helping him get settled in, and then tracted a bit and visited Marcelino and his daughter.
On Thursday we planned for the week, visited Norman, tracted a bit, visited Sherri and gave her a blessing since she wasn't feeling well, and had correlation for SG2.
On Friday we had our zone meeting, and we also picked up and dropped off another companionship in our district whose car needed maintenence. Then we had several appointments, including one with Judith, who was someone Elder Hoskin had started teaching who moved into the projects in our area. She seemed pretty good, but she didn't come to church, so we'll have to see how she turns out. We also tracted a bit. In the evening, we found out Sherri is in the hospital. Fortunately, it's not anything life-threatening--we went and visited her on Saturday, and she seemed to be doing pretty well. We also visited Marcelino again.
On Saturday, we made our visit to Sherri, and then tracted and worked on contacting the eight referrals we received Friday evening. We taught Miguel Nunoz about daily prayer and scripture study. In the evening we also visited Hermana Smith.
On Sunday we went to our church meetings, and I actually went to all of the SG2 meetings. Marcelino came with his daughter and wife, and Miguel also came. Marcelino's daughter Lupe is talking about getting baptized, but we want to make sure she actually understands what it is before planning a time with her. We also tracted for a while and worked on contacting those referrals.
Today we played dodgeball as a zone, and have been doing our normal grocery shopping and such.
Elder Stephens
For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift. --D&C 88:33
