This week was very interesting. We had an emergency transfer so now I'm with Elder Bahlmann.
Tuesday we had to drive down to Lancaster to pick up Elder Bahlmann, and then Wednesday we drove to Bakersfield to drop off Elder Coates. We were pretty busy with that. Then, Thursday was insane. I cooked a turkey. That's right. It was a very big turkey and we got leftovers. Not too much else went on. Here's a quick funny story. We were talking with a family and their little girl that's 7 said she was going to get baptized soon and the lesson got very off track. Then, the mom tried to get it back on track and said "We'll cross that bridge when we get there". The little girl just yelled "What bridge!". It took a little longer to get back to teaching.
Not much is really happening out here, but we'll see what this next week brings,

bits and pieces from family phone calls:
On Thanksgiving we got to call our families and share a message as a companionship. It was really cool to get to teach our families, and have them testify of things they know to be true.
We've got a lot of work to do to get things moving here...please pray for us to find people to teach who are ready to hear our message.
I'm a professional turkey cooker now, in case you wondered.
I've officially been here in Bakersfield for 6 months. The work is still moving forward...a little slowly right now, but it's all good.

President Nelson challenged us this week to post each day about things we are grateful for, so here are my daily posts for the last 7 days.
