Hello family and friends,
This week has been a lot of the same as last week. Nothing big has happened yet, but we are seeing that our efforts are starting to pay off. We are getting in contact with a lot of less active members and some former investigators. We are still hitting the streets hard and doing a lot of the grunt work that is never fun but has to be done. The last bit of the week was a challenge since my companion got food poisoning or something and was throwing up for a few days. That was really interesting to find out as we were knocking on someone's door. They did not answer, though, so he made it to the curb to throw up. It has been an interesting week.
We also cover Travis Air Force Base and we just noticed that everyday at 4:30 they play revelry and the national anthem and you are supposed to stop. The first time, I didn't stop cause I had no idea what was going on. I got some funny looks when no one else was moving around me. The base is really cool. The only bad part is you can't proselyte to people or even talk to them on the street. It is really lame.
I am doing well being a district leader. It is very different and a challenge, but I am getting use to it though. The work moves on, but it is slow right now. We have not had a lot of investigators to teach, but it is going well. Elder Foyston is handling it well for being a new missionary. He is doing well tho he still acts like he is in high school but he is getting over it. He works hard and is not afraid of situations when I put him on the spot to do things. He is a good kid.
Well, I love you all. It is crazy to see all that snow. It is raining here and we have to start biking soon since we are running low on miles for the month. love you all.
Elder Pelton
