Samuel's Mission E-mail May 5, 2008

Everyone:
It's May! Who did that? Where did April go? Anyways, this will be a bit shorter of an e-mail due to the temple day last week.
Thursday last week, we had our normal weekly planning, we tracted, and we visited a less-active named Cynthia. She actually seems interested--she just recently stopped smoking and such, and she said she'd like to come back to church. We also visited Alma.
On Friday, we had our standard district meeting, and then we helped one of the familes in the ward move out. We also did some street contacting.
On Saturday, we tracted, worked on contacting some less-actives and referrals, and we also had a lesson with Rosie. She's praying about being baptized the 1st of June! We also contacted a referral named Feliz Cabrera who turned out to be a member who actually wanted us to talk with her non-member husband, but he was asleep when we visited, so we re-scheduled. In the evening we took Elder Otis and Elder Roark (some bike Elders we often give rides to) to a baptism in Elder Otis's old area.
On Sunday, we went to church, tracted, and in the evening we went to a fireside done by the mission president. Rosie was there, and it was a good fireside.
Today, we had a little Cinco de Mayo barbecue.
Well, next Sunday is one of every missionary's favorite days, and then after that is transfers. Sometimes I wonder if the reason God says that all is as one day to him is because he's so busy time just flies by for Him. I know there's more to it than that, but still...
