Life is good, folks. This week was pretty rad, so I'll go over some of the highlights.
On Tuesday we had our personal interviews with President Meredith. I sure love that man. And that was Tuesday.
On Wednesday we had an exchange with the Half Moon Bay elders. I went to HMB with the district leader, Elder Macias, and that was way cool. We taught lots of cool people. We visited a less active couple whose house smells like pee. That was really cool. Half Moon Bay doesn't smell like pee, but that's okay.
On Thursday we did missionary work.
On Friday we went to a Burmese restaurant for dinner. Khin, of the sisters' investigators (who's getting baptized!) took us to a Burmese restaurant and gave us each a flower for Valentine's Day. It was great!
On Saturday we had a ward chili cook-off and primary talent show. It was super boss.
On Sunday we had another exchange. I was in Half Moon Bay again, this time with Elder Ishigaki. It was boss too. We saw the same less active with the pee-smelling house. The relief society room at the church also smelled like pee.
It was weird going to a different ward for church. We don't usually do exchanges on a Sunday, but it was pretty cool. The members in Half Moon Bay are super sick. One of them is pretty famous- Jeff Clark, a professional surfer. I think he has a cool mormon.org video.
Overall, this week was great! We've seen lots of blessings. It's cool that as we've worked together, we've become closer as companions. Elder Vance is way cool. He's been a great new missionary, and he's a boss.
San Francisco is pretty great. The Lord really does love the people here. I like them a lot too. When we focus on loving other people, we are given the ability to endure. Moroni taught this in Moroni 7:46 ..."Charity NEVER faileth" (capital letters added for umph.) It's so true though, when we love, we are happy. Love everybody, folks. Just do it!
I know this Gospel is true and that it's the Lord's work we're doing. The Gospel has been restored through a prophet, just like he did many times in the Bible. The Lord is constant...he still speaks to us today through a living prophet. The restored Gospel brings so much happiness to our lives! Let's all live it.
Love,
Elder Gillie
P.S. Here's a couple pictures of Elder Vance and I for your enjoyment.
