So, things here in Folsom are interesting. Our ward is full of old people. The youth has about 15 and the primary about 15 as well. There are lots of old people that we can visit, but they all like to talk a lot. But we are trying to focus on the young families to invite their friends to learn more about the gospel. We have a few potentials and we were able to pick up a new investigator... but I'm still a little hesitant. We found him through tracting and he took a Book of Mormon, but I'm a little skeptical because he mentioned he would have to hide the book from his wife. And he was an older gentleman. Anyways. Yep. Saturday I went on exchanges, so I was able to see some old faces :) It was weird being back in my old area. I love that area, but at the same time I knew that wasn't my post anymore. Missionaries have talked about how they feel that their power as a missionary is only in the area where they are assigned to. I almost had that vision, but I kind of disagree with it. Even though I'm not assigned to the Woodside ward, I still want to care and help in any way possible to those that are in that area. Yep. So we just got a phone call and we are too go help someone move today. So that will be good, I suppose. Don't know who they are, but we'll find out. Life is interesting with everything that the Lord gives us. Everything happens for a reason. That I do know, but often I do not know the reason behind it. So, my mission president, President Weston, knows the mission president in the Oklahoma City Mission! He said they are good friends. That was cool to find out. We had interviews this last week. I love President Weston, he is such a sweet, good man and he truly cares for all of us missionaries here. Well, I can't think of anything else exciting. But I love you all bunches and I'm glad that things are sounding good. I enjoyed all the letters I got from you all this past week :D It's fun to hear about all the adventures! I LOVE EVERYONE!!!! Have a great week!
