I got to drive a car during exchanges with the Zone Leaders. I'm excited that I survived that the California traffic!!! I even went on the freeway (twice, in the dark!!!)
This whole week was a series of members and even some investigators saying bye to Elder Pettit. It seemed as if the "trunkiness" would never end!
While knocking this week we presented ourselves as Representatives of Jesus Christ to this nice lady and she replied that she also was a representative of Him. But that she was sick so she was taking a day off. But she assured us that she was "too blessed to be stressed." She then attempted to hug us, luckily I had enough time to react and get out of the way as she hugged my companion.
We took our investigator with a baptismal date to to the Visitor's Center on Saturday. Hearing him say that Joseph Smith is a prophet was such a testimony builder. I got to see the light come on in his eyes as he realized what that truly means. I was so happy to see him and church and see him make friends.
During my new missionary training we had a small testimony meeting. As I felt the Spirit I had another one of those "Oh, I'm a missionary now" moments. The Lord truly continues to give me more than I could ever give Him.
I continue to grow to love the people here in Richmond as they tell me about their crazy Latino stories.
Not much is new here in Richmond, California....
However, I find out on Saturday that my new companion will be Elder Rodriguez! We will start serving as a companionship tomorrow morning!
Elder Luis Gonzalez
