A German Accent (Mar 8)

So yeah, now I'm serving in the Costa Mesa second ward.  The first week here went really well.  Elder Robertson is a really fun guy and I enjoy working with him.  There's a family in this ward named the Davis family or the Anderson-Davis family and it's a single mother who adopted 11 kids, only one not being mentally handicapped.  They all have either autism or ADD or maybe both.  She has people there to help her with the kids all the time, but it's pretty amazing how she does it.  Anyway, the one that's normal is 17 and is going to be baptized on April 2nd.  Her name is Nadia and she was adopted from Russia.  The family is moving up to Utah next month up to near Logan so she'll be baptized there, but she's not moving with them so she'll still count as our baptism.  She's going to keep living in the house and another guy named Sasha, who Sister Anderson-Davis took in as well will be staying.  He just got baptized not too long ago.  He's from the Ukraine, but his accent sounds like a German accent to me lol.  I don't know who else will live there, but it's a very wealthy family so they can definitely afford not to sell the house.  She's building a new house up there with tons of bedrooms and fully equipped with cameras and intercoms etc.  It's be sweet.  You probably didn't want to know all that random information...moving on.  Two of the handicapped children just got baptized a few weeks ago.

We are also teaching a guy named Carl who is the husband of a member in the ward.  He's been taught everything and is ready to be baptized, but his wife doesn't think he's ready.  She wants him to set his own date, so hopefully he does that soon and hopefully it's not in like a month or something.  Also we have Amy and Jay.  Amy is less active and really struggling right now.  Pamera is a potential investigator and the Peters are the other family we are teaching.  On Friday we taught a guy named Ali and his friends Eric and George are potentials.  Ali and Chris are Muslim so they'll need an interview before we can teach them, but it should work out fine.  Saturday I was on exchanges in the South Coast ward with the companion of my new district leader, Elder Cowan.  We got a ton of referrals this week and Bishop Watkins is awesome so this'll be a good ward for sure.  Sunday I bore my testimony and it was a good block of meetings.  Everyone is really nice.  Anyway, time to go.  Love you as much as all the computers in this room.
