Everyone:
Well, this week has been a bit cooler than in the past. I guess even Los Angeles has seasons--just not as much as other places do. This is another e-mail from the internet cafe, since all the libraries and such are closed for the Veteran's Day weekend or something.
Let's see... starting with Thursday, since I wrote last Wednesday... Thursday was a pretty typical Thursday, with planning, visiting Norman, and correlation in the evening. We also visited with Cindy again, and she asked us a couple more questions about the Book of Mormon.
On Friday we had our district meeting, and then we tracted a little bit. We visited Marcelino--his situation is about unchanged right now. We also visited Irene, the less-active who felt let down by and unappreciated at church. She's willing to come back, but her oldest granddaughter that's living with her refuses to come and she doesn't have anyone to leave her with. We also visited David.
Saturday we did some tracting and ended up talking with someone who had lived in Utah for a while and some drunk guys. Alcohol does strange things to people. We also visited Kandy Levine and met her son who just got out of prison. We also visited a couple other people.
Sunday we had church as usual, and then we visited Hermana Smith. Delia was there visiting her at the same time, so we ended up teaching her a bit as well. We worked for a bit on finding out if people on our member list in our area actually live there any more and actually met one guy who asked why it had taken so long, so hopefully he'll want to come back to church. We also visited the Castrejon family because they weren't at church and found out it was because one of their pipes broke so they had stayed home to fix it before it leaked too much.
Today in the morning we missed our zone activity (bowling) because we went with Brother Harris and Sherri to visit a friend of Brother Harris, but she asked us if we could come back another day due to events incident to the holiday, so that's why I'm writing so early today.
Well, since I have a lot of time, I'm going to ramble for a bit. I have this stack of small sticky notes that Elder Allred bequeathed to me when he went home, and I've been using them to write down random quotes I hear or read or that I think up and then sticking them up on the wall in front of my desk. So, I think I'll share some of these quotes that I can remember with you.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work--Thomas Edison
With all your getting, get going!--Elder Packer (before he was President Packer)
A commandment or law is a specific instance of a principle.
And last of all, always remember, hard-heartedness leads to heart disease!
Elder Samuel Stephens
The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?
