Hey guys,
Ay! So I don’t actually know when transfers are going to
happen. With all the chaos of new missionaries coming in, it seems transfers
will be next week on June 15th. It was supposed to be this week.
But anyways, there’s not too much actually happening though.
We are still quarantined in California .
We still need to wear masks and can't get out to teach people. There's no sign
of us in Sonoma County
So this week I joined a few Christian groups on Facebook
thinking maybe I could have a greater outreach. My companions and I had put
some free Bibles on the Facebook marketplace, but no one wanted them, so I
thought I could do better. After being accepting into one of the Christian groups,
I posted something about turning to Christ during these hard times. This post
got a lot of attention as opposed to the usual stuff on the page, so I was
happy about that. Unfortunately as the day went on, people noticed my post and
started revolting against me even though my message was nothing but positive.
They claimed that if there were any issues, they would "kick all the
Mormons out" of the group, and started saying negative things about the
church. Now I've seen this many times before, random anger directed at our religion
and our beliefs. And it’s very clear to me where this anger derives from. I'm
just surprised by the anger about a positive message. Very odd times!
So they speak 'Mexican Spanish' here in Cali ,
and it's a little confusing to me, but I can still mostly understand it. We
went to a member's home where he gave us some pretty good authentic Mexican
food. It was nice to eat outside the apartment for a change, so that's cool
because I'm terrible at cooking.
Anyway, this week has been cool. I hope that soon we'll be
getting out more as things open up.
