First of all, sorry that I missed last week's email (things last pday were kind of crazy). I am doing great here in Elk Grove! My companion Sister Bingham is FANTASTIC and we are having a wonderful time!
Here are some brief highlights from the past few weeks:
-》 Our Friends!
We are teaching a couple of really awesome guys named Kay, Mike, David, and Joe. Each one of them is fantastic! With David, we have been calling him everyday and praying with him and on Saturday, he said a prayer outloud for the first time! Kay and Mike are super great and finally accepted a physical copy of the Book of Mormon! We have a lesson with them tonight which is going to be great.
- 》 Church!
WE WENT BACK TO CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVEN MONTHS.
(It was kinda weird... but so good!)
- 》 Biking
So, I pulled out my bike for the first time in a long time and Sister Bingham and I biked 40 minutes to a lesson.
#WeLoveCarShares
The lesson ended up canceling on us when we got their but we were able to get some really awesome referrals out of it.
#WorthIt
Also, a couple of days afterwards, we ended up getting our own car.
#StillWorthIt
-》 Road trip to Lodi and Other News
We got a surprise call from President Zimmerman last week informing us that someone that Sister Bingham had taught in Lodi was getting baptized and that we had permission to go down to watch! ROAD TRIP!
The baptism itself was very lovely and we had a great car ride! Speaking of baptisms....
CHRIS AND SANDRA ARE ON DATE TO BE BAPTIZED!
Holy Cow! I found out the other day and literally started crying! I am so proud and excited for them. They need all the prayers they can get though so keep praying for them!
- 》 Awesome Members
Okay, the members here in Elk Grove are AWESOME! We had dinner with our Bishop and his family yesterday and they made us waffles! It literally felt like I was home (shout out to my dad and his waffle making skills) Our members are super supportive with the work and I have loved getting to know them! Plus, now we get to see them at church! Yay!
Awesome week.
Awesome companion.
Awesome members.
Awesome friends.
Awesome area.
God is so good.
Have a wonderful week and don't forget, you are a child of God and He loves you!
Lots of love,
Sister Ferrin
