Another week totally filled with miracles, here we go...
Monday- We taught a RC named Chris in the Brentwood 2nd ward, and he is awesome, I am pumped to get to know him more!! After that we went home to fix a bike with a tire the other elders picked up for us.
Tuesday- we had DM and we set a goal as a district for 26 baptisms before the end of the year!!! We have 8 on date right now, and it totally will happen. Miracles are coming. After that we went and did service for a lady in the Brentwood 3rd and moved this massive pool table with the other elders, easily 500 pounds just with the top, it was insane. That night we tracted for a bit and then we went to teach Trina and Derrick. Derrick is a returning less active, and Trina is a golden Investigator who is totally ready to be baptized, and we are super super lucky to teach them!!!
Wednesday we had a whole lot of stuff fall through, that wasn't so fun, but we found a potential named Jurew, he was real nice! Then dinner was really cool too, it was a bunch of Tongan food.
Thursday we were on exchanges, and me and Elder Crump got to go out together! We did a lot of tracting in a really wealthy area, so not much success, then we went down this huge long dirt road that had like five houses, and all five said that we could come back!! It was so cool! That night we went to Chris's house to help him get ready to speak at Why I Believe on sunday. Then we had a coordination meeting!
Friday we took a pros break and planned for the next week, we also got to teach that lady named Tara that came to church the week before, and she wants to get baptized!! We couldn't set a date with her there, but she said that she expects to be baptized 100%, but she wants to learn first. Good things to come!
Saturday we had more exchanges! We had the Hillcrest Elders come to our area, and I was on bike for the first time for a full day with Elder Campos, and we got a new investigator!! Her name is Phylis, and she is totally deaf and reads lips, it is super super cool, she is the nicest most random 72 year old I have ever met, she kept asking if we wear hungry, because "she could tell we were hungry because of the way we were talking". Cool. We also got a call that a 12 year old girl that has been coming to church with a family wants to get baptized, so we will set a date with her asap. Lots of cool things happening.
Sunday all but one of our investigators came to church, then we went to visit the Tall Family and share a message with them, and then to dinner with the Blaise family who are the best, they just went to a coldplay concert and they and their daughters told us all about the new coldplay album. Then, we drove to Oakland and went to Why I believe!! It was so good to go and see all the missionaries I am friends with, Elder Ey is doing great learning English it is so cool!!
Today was cool too, we have been fishing all day in Discovery Bay, if you don't know what that is, Google it and look at some pictures it is beautiful.
I love love love being a missionary, more and more every week. My job is just to love people as much as I can and teach them about Jesus Christ. How perfect is that? Too great. Lots of love and high hopes for every one, have a good week!!
love, Elder Cameron Tolman
