Well, to be honest, this last week was quite slow. We've been having a hard time finding people to teach, but that's nothing new haha.
We tried to go street contacting in a neighborhood in the middle
of the week, and we met two solid potential investigators, Servando and Scott
(we met them on separate occasions). Servando loves motorcycles, and he was
working on his bullet bike in his driveway, so him and I struck up a
conversation about dirtbikes and motorcycles, and he let Elder Porritt sit on
his motorcycle haha. Scott is cool. He is an inspector in the construction
industry, and his boss is LDS. He really likes how the Church is very
family-oriented, and sustains good moral values. He even said he helped in the
construction of the Redlans temple, and he said he loves that temple, that it's
absolutely beautiful inside. So we told him about eternal marriage, and how a
husband and wife can be sealed for time and all eternity, and be able to be with
the children and family forever. He really liked that, it interested him!
Our investigator Julie came to church yesterday, and she is
progressing wonderfully! The ward did a great job of fellow shipping her
yesterday. She has not drunk coffee for a week now, which is awesome! She's
quite happy about it.
So our week was really slow, as I said earlier. We tried
seeing a less-active elderly couple, but they weren't home. And where they
live, it's out in the boonies in Oak Hills, with dirt roads, and where your
closest neighbor can sometimes be a few acres away. And since we don't really
go to this part of our area very much, we thought we'd go for a little
adventure on some of the dirt roads! Along the way we found A LOT of trash out
there. I don't understand why people to just choose to dump their trash out
here. It destroys the beauty of the land! C'mon people of Hesperia, properly
dispose of your trash! Anyways, enough of my time on my soap box haha. We found
a big heap of garbage that had old videocassettes random junk, a trashed large
flatscreen TV, a sofa or two, and lots of other miscellaneous items haha. So we
pulled over and looked through the heap to see if there was anything
interesting. Nothing. That's okay though, because I don't really know what we
would do with whatever we would have taken. Maybe mounted it on the wall in our
apartment? I don't know haha.
We had dinner with a member who gave Elder Porritt and I
each a HUGE 1 pound slice of ribeye steak! Holy cow that thing was huge! And I
also got to play the drumset at a member's home one evening, which was pretty
cool!
Well, I'm short on time again, but I pray for you and hope
you are doing well. Love you all.
Elder Ruiz
A sad sight to see, but it's pretty typical out here.
I'm vacuuming, so does that count as cleaning up? Haha
IT WAS MASSIVE!!!!
