Subject: Week 1 with Elder Scott
From: samuel.crapo@myldsmail.net
Dear Family and Friends,
It has been yet another week and this one has been a lot different. A lot has changed! I like change but not all the time. Its been an ok week.
We did the same old stuff on monday and tried to see as many families as we could for Elder Fernandez since he was getting Transferred to East Bakersfield. Tuesday i dropped him off at the Stake center with his new companion and then Elder Humphries and i plus the zone leaders went down with the mission Nurse and went to transfer meeting. It was a good meeting. I always get so sad in those meetings. Thinking about all the missionaries that have been in and out of this mission and how much i miss them! Its going to be so sad when its my turn! But it was good to see a lot of missionaries i hadnt seen in a while. While we were on our way home we stopped off and got 5 guys, and a funny thing, some guy saw us all in the car and he held up a sign and we all looked over and it said "GO ROMNEY" ha ha that was pretty funny. But we did what we usually do on a transfer day, got unpacked, did shopping, and had dinner.
Wednesday was good we had our district meeting and got to see a lot of members so that my new companion elder scott could get familiar with the ward. I saw two really cool things that day too. I saw a Lamborghini Reventon and i also so a Meteor fall out of the sky. It was huge and flamey and left a big ol' streak in the sky.
Thursday we did our usual visits to people. It was a pretty good day. We got taken out to dinner by Brother Leituala. He's such a stud. He took us to some asian all you can eat place which was super good. And we came back and taught his family a lesson. I love his family a lot.
Throughout most of the week the work has been pretty slow. We are hitting our goal on teaching Less actives and Recent Converts but as for getting new investigators and teaching them it is pretty slow. We have a really good potential that we have just met with Briefly this week but i'm really looking forward to sitting down and teaching her because she has a lot of good questions. We also took care of the Nancetts dog while they were away. They went to San Francisco to see a 49ers game.
We got to do a little service this week for brother Durrant and also for Brother Tydryszewski. Not much just little stuff.
hmmmm... what else... I ate a grapple this week.. I dont think i've ever had one before. Its an apple but part of a grape vine is grown into it... Some genetics thing. So the whole apple has the taste of a grape... its really trippy but a really good apple.
We had Stake Conference this week. Elder Packer (of the 70) came and spoke. He told everyone who was to speak to throw out there talks and speak by the spirit. So there were some interesting talks. It seems they are changing all kinds of things up in the way they are teaching and running the church. Its REALLY turning into a missionary church. A lot of it is based on the spirit.
Hmmm i dont know what else to say. Elder Scott is from Colorado. He's the oldest of 3 and he's been out 17 months. He was in the Guidos ward (simi 3rd where i served for 6 months) for 7 and a half months... He was there with a companion for 6 months.... Crazy! He's ok. I'm still getting used to him. My patience is growing. ANYWAYS! Things are going good. If i could only have one thing be different it would be to receive more mail :) So please do so since i only have 4 months left!
I love you all a lot! I hope you are all doing ok! I miss you all TONS!
Love,
Elder Samuel Crapo
