Thanks for sending me my patriartical blessing, I read it that night I got it and I learned something new from it.


We have investigators but they usually cancel on us for some reason, sick, busy etc. We received a referral on Sep. 8 for this kid named Alex, he's a senior in high school, Laotian, and he is awesome, we finally met with him on Sat. 25th and he wants to know more, his family doesn't really have a religion, and his parents are supporting him as he investigates. He said he wanted to join something, like a family, and we told him the church is a world wide family and he thought that was awesome. He wants a belief in God and Jesus Christ. He came to church with us yesterday and he wants to come to General Conference with us. We told him about prophets and apostles and how we have them today, and we showed him the picture of President Monson and the apostles and he really liked that. We soft comitted him to baptism and he said yes. We only met with him once and he's progressing more than our other investigators (I'm not saying anything bad about our other investigators)

P.S. Also there's an Elder (Steven) Packard in my district who's a Bolivia visa waiter. Our district leader had to go to a leadership training meeting so my companion and I went with Elder Packard. I come to find out that he's Reed Stones cousin! I basically call him cousin because my cousin (Arthur) married Elder Packard's cousin (Sharice?) hahaha

     My new companion is Elder Magleby from American Fork, Utah.  My third companion from Utah (no surprise).  He's a good companion not to say that my other companions were bad. 
Anyways, one cool story that happened this week... Elder Magleby and I were tracting and we knocked on this door.  This lady answered, she was pretty nice, and she had this small dog.  The dog was pretty calm.  We start talking to her and once we said "We're Ministers of Jesus Christ" the dog goes totally psycho!
     Satan had a strong influence on that dog.  The lady wasn't interested.  Anyways, the work has been slow but Elder Magleby and I are trying to pick it up.
     The weather is cooling down a bit.

Hi, literally no time to talk...maybe later


Two things I wanted to ask.


How's his [Daniel's] eye sight? I'm guessing he's probably still blind but my companion and I are praying for him.


This lady in my ward came up to me yesterday and asked if I knew this Bishop in Modesto...I think it started with an S. But she said he was killed! and he's only been a bishop like four months. I don't know what's going on in California but I get worried.
