Super Busy!!

October 26th, 2009

Hey Y'all!
Well since I have been in Encino Park I think every email I have written
includes the words "I am VERY BUSY" and guess what, this week is NO
exception!!! I am super busy and don't have time for a long email, more of a quick shout out. Thanks to y'all who have written me lately. I have been pretty badabout writing back these past few weeks, I am telling ya we are BUSY! Haha but I will try to do better.

Thanks mom and Aunt Elaine for the Halloween packages. Thanks Allison, Aunt Elaine, Moran, C, Chris, Adam and Elder Yarrington for the letters these past couple weeks. I love the mail!!

Well the work here is catching on like wildfire!! We got more new investigators this week and they are totally legit. One of them is a guy named Kipper who the Elders found about a year and a half ago. The sisters taught him a few months ago but could never get a hold of him again. We found him at home one day last week and set up an appointment, it went really well! He told us he wished he had had the Book Of Mormon in his life years ago. He is doing well and is gonna come to the Ward Trunk or Treat this week. He is 21 and so we talked to him about going to the singles ward, but he doesn't want to. We were ok with that cause that means we get to keep teaching him. Cool with me! Our other new investigator this week is Elsa. She is super cool- her boyfriend is a less active member who just started coming back to church. Last week he brought Elsa to chruch with him and the Elders pounced, lol. They are moving into our area this week, so the Elders had us go with them to a lesson last week so as to pass them off to us. We are exctied cause Elsa is awesome and totally elect, we just have todeal with a little law of chastity issue seeing as they are living together. But they are both 25 and have been together for like almost 4 years, so it shouldn't be too hard marrying them. So ya lots of good stuff going on in Encino!

Our "Progressing" Investigators are kinda at a stand still right now, well except Emylie, she is doing awesome! But everyone else, the Oakleys and Villanuevas- we can't get them to church! It is the most frustrating thing to have people who are doing so well and even have baptismal dates for goodness sake, but won't come to church! They always have some lame excuse, but man we will get them!!! If it's the last thing we do! Ha ha But ya, we had a great lesson with the Oakley's at their next door neighbor's house (the Gomm's- super sweet member family)the Gomm's invited them over for a BBQ and to watch the movie the Testaments. It went super well and they were very touched by the movie. By the end they were all crying! Yee haw! Ha ha They know it's true we just have to get them to act on what they know! We also had a good lesson with Sandra this week but she is just so busy it's hard to gether to keep all of her appointments!

Well, that's the news in Encino Park, lots of great stuff going down here! I appreciate all of y'alls prayers and letters and support. It sure does help!
