Happy Birthday Tamie.
This week we got our flu and shingles shots. We are not feeling 100%. We may take a quiet day.
We have been sitting in on lessons with a man named Eddie. Yesterday he committed to baptism. Wahoo! Last night Elder Wecker and I had our first reading experience with him. He said he was having trouble understanding the Book of Mormon, so we offered to read with him. The Elders have been trying to get him to read, but he was reluctant. Last night, after we finished the first chapter of Nephi, he said he was going to continue reading and we would pick up where he left off tonight. We read over the phone. Technology is grand.
I have been doing a little sewing for the missionaries and I took Joan's advice and made them cupcakes. I just hope they feel we are more of a blessing than a hindrance.
We have been memorizing D&C 4. I'm sure this wouldn't have been so hard 40 or 50 years ago, but we just work with what we've got. I can do it slowly, but of course the young missionaries race through. We will catch up soon.
We met some delightful members in Fortuna last Sunday. We went up there for dinner and to watch Women's Conference. The wife is a long time member. Her husband just joined the church about 10 years ago. He is a retired doctor. They are known throughout the county for their service. We were told of a visit they once made to Jamaica. They got there and started looking for ways to volunteer. It took some doing, but they found a way to spend their vacation serving others.
We have met many wonderful, committed people here in the Santa Rosa mission.
