Well, emailing in library is lots of fun. I can't help but make friends everywhere I go.
I've lasted two weeks in the San Jose area and I've adjusted pretty well. I think I had a bit of a missionary culture shock when I got here but I'm more used to how things work out here so life is great. I still think this work is 1000 times easier than missionary work on Temple Square but who's complaining.
I'm being transferred away from this young single adult ward but I don't know where I'm going yet. I just know that they need me to be a driver somewhere else which is good because I fall asleep everytime I get in the car. So, maybe not good. Pray for me. I'm joking, Dad.
We have a really big area since we are over basically all the ysa here. We went to the gralic captial of... the United States? Gilroy. Then we went and taught a couple lessons in Hollister. Yeah, THE Hollister. Like the Surf company. We mostly made fun of it because it is not the surfer way of life like you'd imagine. It's more farmish and golf course-y from what I saw. I could very well be transferred there tomorrow.
I can't get over how many members we teach. Some members are less active and some are active and even return missionaries but they all need help. I'm almost exhausted at how many people don't read their scritprures and pray. They know it's the best way to live life, yet they don't do it. Some of them even spent two years of their lives teaching people how essential prayer is and they don't pray themselves. I never want to be like that. One of my favorite videos that I've seen here is called God's chisel. It's a good one, so go to town --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?
We have two investigators who we taught this week. One is super presh and covers his face with his hand anytime he thinks hard or feels the Spirit. He's almost 19 and he's taking his sweet time learning the gospel but we love teaching him. Our other investigator is so comfortable with his life that he doesn't see the need for the gospel. He says he doesn't have any questions, not just for us but he has no questions in his soul about who God is or what his purpose in life is. I know he's lying. He's really caught up in his school work and he's convinced that his 20s are for him to work his butt off so that he can start working in his 30s and that's when he'll be interested to join a Church and focus more on religion. Stupid. I asked him if he ever thought that faith could help him in his school work. He didn't seem to care. Lame.
I keep telling myself that Temple Square is hoarding all my letters. Someone please tell me I'm right.
