Hello everyone it was another great week here in Oakland! Oakland is truly starting to become one of my favorite places on earth. It's not very pretty or pleasant or anything but there are some of my favorite people here! And that's all I could care about! But for all those worried about me no need to worry I love it here and Oakland is actually safe.... If you're not silly. Anyways. I love it here One of my favorite things about being a missionary is being led to people who you know God needed you to meet that day! It's so crazy and miraculous how guided we truly are. The holy ghost is real and it is with us! We also had a miracle happen. We had a few friends actually come to church and we were a little scared because it was fast and testimony meeting in the 9th ward. But the miracle was everyone who bore their testimony had it centered on Jesus Christ. No sketchy testimonies about psychedelics or drugs or horse tranquilizers. So it was a great sabbath! Spiritual tho...
Hello everyone how's everyone doing? It's been a pretty good week but I did have to say bye to Elder Hsu but I got a new comp! My new comp is Elder Jacox from somewhere in Utah I've never heard of haha. This is Elder Jacox first time leaving Utah and he never even been on a plane before so that's crazy. It's gonna be interesting for sure since I've never trained before but I'm going with faith! This week was pretty hard because one of our members who we saw multiple times a week passed away and I've been feeling it. One of the hardest things I think I ever had to do was to go to the families house to give them blessings and keep my emotions under control during the blessings it was hard. I'm actually so glad Elder Jacox was there because I wasn't myself I was really emotional and he kept us grounded for sure I'm thankful for that. Besides that it was a good week just trying to get Elder Jacox settled. A big lesson I learned from this week ...
Howdy yall it's been a pretty great week this email won't be long but long story short what's been going on is lots of finding lots of seed planting and lots of frustration haha! The frustration part is coming from our friend Raheem he is so ready to get baptized and his mother is refusing to even meet with us or bishop or anyone from the church which is making us sad. We thought we were gonna have them come to a baptism and the visitors center in Oakland and they low key lied to us and said they were on their way for 2 hours and we basically wasted our day! So that was sad I kinda shed some tears but it is what it is. So we basically can't do anything with him like get him to church or baptize him or even meet with him without mom's consent so we've been going through it over here. Besides that it was a good week alot of exchanges and successes with talking and finding people. I love my ward in Richmond and I'm scared I'm gonna get transfered out this ...
