Hey Family & Friends!
Its been another great week and the week has gone by so fast! But i'm not in the library right now! I'm in Frazier Park! It is pretty sweet up here. We got a member to drive us up. Brother Nancett. He's stinkin awesome. But we will be driving back down on the bus! Yay. We are up here to do a hike and since its our district only we had to come up because the sisters cant be alone with the other two elders so we HAD to come. But it will be fun.
My week has gone ok. Work wise... still slow. We did have a good time with an investigator this week. We taught a pretty good lesson with her and Asked her to be baptized by September 22nd. She said she would pray about it. She still hasnt come to church though. She feels she needs to know more before she goes to church. She is a little scared to go i think? I wish she would just come because i think she would love it. We also watch the Joseph Smith Movie. The full one.
We went on exchanges this week. My companion went to Frazier Park. And i stayed in Bakersfield with Elder Scholes. It was a good exchange. We exchanged monday night and got back together wednesday afternoon. So it was a pretty long exchange. But it was a lot of fun.
We had some service this week which was great. There is a family in our ward who is moving out and is trying to fix up their house. So we have been doing all sorts of work over there. Painting and yard work and what not!
I've had some bike problems this week! Two flats in one week! And it is impossible to find a regular patch kit these days. They only have these cheap patch kits. Its ridiculous so i've been having to buy new inner tubes! It stinks!
Hmmm what else happened this week? Yesterday we were riding our bikes down the street and right outside of a members apartment a kid was getting in his car and he was like "Oh hey elders" and i recognized him so i stopped and said "Wait i know you!" and he was a kid up in Tehachapi that was good friends with our convert! We didnt talk to him long at all but it was cool to see him.
Also this week we stopped at the Gas station and i saw a guy with Utah plates on his car. So i got out of our members car and i yelled out to him. I was like "Hey what part of utah are you from?" he said Logan. Then he came up and read my tag and was like "crapo? did you have a brother serve in Brazil?" ha and i told him yes. He said that he was in Stuarts same district in Brazil at one point... Small world. Unfortunately i didnt catch his name... But he is down in Bakersfield to work. He just got here.
We also went to a members house to visit. They are super awesome. The Laffoons. They have a whole bunch of classic cars. Mustangs, volks wagons, deloriane (like back to the future), and a... Fero? I wanna say? But all super nice cars. Pluse two street bikes. One of them being a Honda CBR 1000. The guy asked if i wanted to test it out. BOY WAS I TEMPTED! But they are super chill! She went to Sam's Club this week and bought us a 48 pack of Tigers Milk! It was da bomb!
I also sent Logan a Package in the mail last P-day. I've never sent him a package and i kind of owe it to him! Plus he's the man anyways! I put a whole bunch of cool stuff in there!
I think that's pretty much it for me! Things are going great. I'm loving this area still! I cant believe how fast it goes.
Anyways i love you guys. I hope you are all doing well and write me back soon!
Love,
Elder Samuel Crapo
