Week #10 - Rice filled Ping Pong with Bacon & Cheese

Best week ever! Almost. Actually best day ever. The week was alright.

First off, I'm safe for transfers as well as Elder Singleton - so we're both pretty happy about that. So, we'll be stickin around the ol' Fairfield for another six weeks. However, they told us a couple weeks back that they're going to move us into a member's home "very soon," but we still haven't heard anything so who knows. Either way, we're still in the area, but we may have a change of address sometime. I'll have over a week's notice though so it's no biggie.

Anywho, yesterday was crazy amazing. It was pretty incredible the way Elder Singleton and I would both feel impressed to go to a certain place and had perfect luck with each one. The Spirit had a full agenda and was sure to let us know. I've never had an experience quite like it, so I've been saying many thankful prayers. Basically, we ended up with two new investigators within two hours (kinda rare to pick up even one investigator in a week in our area...or at least it has been) and we finally caught three different people at home that we've been trying to get ahold of since I got here. Everything we did wasn't even written in our plans, but one of us would just throw out a name and each one sounded perfect. The last girl we saw (a new investigator) we've been trying to see for about four weeks. She works all the time and we can never catch her. We both decided to go over at about eight thirty pm, and there was one light on. We debated on whether or not it was too late, and Elder Singleton kinda laughed and said "I'm wondering if this is just Satan trying to trip us up." So, that's when I told him we were going in, and it turned out she was home for the first time. She'd read a little out of the Book of Mormon, wants to come to church, and was really excited about volleyball (we play every Wednesday with the singles) and is going to come with her friend this week. Amazing.

We also decided to see if a guy named Anthony (we're seeing 2 "Anthonys" right now) was home. He apparently went to one of the other wards one Sunday and had a lot of good comments about it. He's in his mid twenties and we've been trying to catch him at home for a long time. We went there and he was out front watering his lawn. We'd never met him, but he greeted us with a hearty "What's up my brethren?" and asked if we were hungry or thirsty. He was a pretty awesome guy and we taught him the entire first lesson and bits and pieces of the second out on his lawn. He was definitely following it and was interacting a ton which is always a plus. So, he wants to meet with us next Sunday night and he's going to go to church.

Much more stuff but I'm running out of time. On Saturday we went to a couple's house that lives in Rio Vista for a traditional "end of transfers dinner." It was way fun and eight missionaries from the zone went. They have a bunch of recording equipment and the guy's way good with music (sadly there was no piano). Our zone leader and I decided to write a rap about our zone and record it because he had a bunch of awesome beats. Long story short, it sounds freaking awesome. We're getting the recording on cd today, so you'll probably be getting a copy.

Kara's still doing great. She said now that her friends know she's looking into the church, they're praying for her that she'll find Christ. She kinda laughed and said "all that's resulted from their prayers is me coming closer to joining, so either you have Christ or they're praying to the wrong person."

Welp, that about wraps her up.
