Week #57 - The Course of French History by Pierre Goubert

Hey Everyone!
Life is fantastic in Santa Rosa. Transfers are only two weeks away, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. I could be out of here. It's weird to think it's already been a full summer. I was here when everyone was graduating or getting out of school and now they're all back. Outrageous. Time flies.

This week was way cool. We picked up a new investigator who's actually a referral from a member of another ward. She's basically just looking for the truth. She's of Native American descent also, so the Book of Mormon is something she's really interested in. It's been really interesting to talk with her- she sounds pretty promising. We set somewhat of a baptismal date with Sonja for September 13th. We'll see- we went over all of the interview questions and she's pretty ready. Her inactive husband came to church with her for the first time in many years yesterday too- so that was awesome to see. Missionaries have tried to work with her for years and it looks like she's finally ready. There are a ton of baptisms in the zone lined up for the 12th and 13th which is crazy awesome.

I was asked to sing Come Thou Fount in sacrament meeting yesterday- it went really well. It was kinda fun too because I don't think many people in the ward ever knew I sang at all. Sister Gamblin (the bishop's wife) played piano for me- she's way good.

Last Monday we went to the Charles Shultz museum in honor of the mom and it was pretty cool- we actually got a huge behind the scenes tour from the manager because Elder Hubbard met her on the plane coming out here. She told him that if he was ever in Santa Rosa to go there and ask for her and she'd get us all in free. So, she took us to all of the spots no one else got to go. Score! It was fun.

Anyway, that's about it for me. Things are great, the gospel's true, and have a good week!Elder B
