20 Years (August 16 email)

Good noon (it's not morning or afternoon). We had two baptisms in the district this weekend. Brea third had one on Saturday, and the singles ward (Placentia 4th) had one yesterday. They were both good services. Brother Williamson's is this Sunday so I hope that goes well too. Sister Mia Farley still won't come to church, but she's still really nice and willing to listen to us. I really hope she decides to come soon, because she'd be such a good one to get baptized! Her kids are great too, and the two oldest--Nicole and Brook--are old enough for baptism (11,9).

On Monday we played tennis for our activity and are planning on doing it again today since it was so much fun. Elder Lew and I have even been doing it every morning for morning exercise. It's pretty fun. I'll have to take some pictures today. This morning we had breakfast at a member's house (the Schultz's). He's had missionaries eat breakfast there for like 20 years or more and has a log book of all their names. It's pretty cool.

This week we got to walk a dog every day because a single lady went out of town so she asked us to do that since her dog has arthritis. It was pretty fun. It was Elder Lew's first time to walk a dog. :) I never knew there was skill involved in dog walking lol. On Tuesday we had dinner with a non-member couple who have a son on a mission. He's getting home in a couple weeks from D.C. or something. They are so nice and are very kind to missionaries, but I guess it's Taboo to try and share a message with them. I heard that missionaries who did that didn't get invited to come again. I think that's a little odd--especially since they are so nice and sent us home with a whole pan of brownies.

We taught Brother Williamson twice this week and he came to church again yesterday so everything should work out for him to get baptized this Sunday. He seems pretty excited about everything. Now we just need someone else like him to teach. It was almost too easy haha. Well I hope everyone is doing well. I just realized today that I don't know my own home address or phone # so I better go memorize those :). Love you as much as the new house.
