Good Elder Way sent word home about a mother who would like her two sons, Isaac (10) and LeAmor (11) to be baptized. The missionaries see much enthusiasm and potential in Isaac. Don't today's youth need all the help they can get?? Looks like it comes back to Mom again in this situation. Bless her!
Sean had a faith-building experience tracting with an elder from Hawaii called to speak Chinese. He felt left "high & dry" in the Espanol department and managed to come through it saying it was a good day.
And, he misses his dog . . . a lot.

Potential baptism already!
Elder Way excitedly reported a "really nice guy," Luis, tentatively chose a baptism date. Luis welcomed Elders Pew and Way as "a breath of fresh air" after being lost in the transfer shuffle. The Elders have also been providing service to the less-fortunate by assisting an inebriated gentleman from the gutter onto the sidewalk until an ambulance arrived to escort him to his temporary shelter for the following 24-48 hours. This week's email reported he is having fun and his companion and he are working with some part-member families and the accompanying challenges. Once Sean's memory card arrives home, photos from his perspective will be posted right here. Stay tuned!

Here's evidence he arrived at his destination intact. Unless, of course, those are cardboard cut-outs . . . After lunch at In 'n Out, the new arrivals were given the immediate opportunity to proselyte. Me thinks that might help overcome the anticipatory jitters. The good Elder and one of the mission president's sons went to elementary and middle school together, which we believe to be a very positive factoid. I choose to interpret Sean's smile as a good sign.

Our Elder arrived safely in California and his first assignment is in Oakland. He reports "AHH it is soo beautifl (sic) out here.." so it would seem there's no need to feel too sorry for him. His trainer is "really nice" and, we trust, is showing him the ropes. We can't wait to post his experiences as he shares them with us.
