Hello friends and family
This week I got a new companion. He is from Shelly Idaho. His name is Elder Watson. I pray that he and another missionary, named Elder Holmes, become companions someday.
This week was very stressful. We got dropped by people out of the blue, and with whatever stuff I could salvage from it, we are now on the look for more people to teach the Gospel to. Other people we are teaching are leaving town on some camping trip so we will not have contact with them for a month. Those people are basically already members though.
It is getting toasty over here in Needles.
Thank goodness for shade.
We went to teach a lesson to someone in a rented out hotel room down near an overpass and while we were talking to this Cherokee lady about her Baptism, a bunch of homeless people barged in and told their story about how they are now homeless. It was a bit awkward. But fun. There were a few nomads in town already anyways.
Elder Watson is still pretty green. This is his 2nd area and he is learning a lot about drugs. Mostly because I have been telling him about what I have learned about drugs. He didn't realize that there is a lot of it in our mission. From North Las Vegas to Blythe, we have many drugs, and druggies to go with it. I personally have never done drugs, especially illegal ones. I have been around them briefly on my mission on occasion, but it only persuades me to further stay away from them. Illegal drugs are no good. Nobody wants to walk around without wearing pants and yelling at cars in the street.
Or maybe they do.
I like being here. Needles is a fun town. Being in a desert wasteland surrounded by nomads, druggies, bikers, and fiery faith filled desert Christian's is appealing to me.
That is all for now.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is true. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. It speaks to the soul and enlightens the mind in such a way that we spiritually grow when we study its pages.
