January 19, 2016 New area...bible bashin' is for the birds...

Well this week has definitely been interesting. Angel didn't get baptized on Monday. Soooo his new baptism date is January 29th. I will be able to go to it and baptize him when the time comes.

Transfers were very interesting. It was weird leaving my first area that I have been in for 6 months. But Murrieta is super awesome. It is just like southern Utah. Just a little more sand and less rock. It is warmer during the day but cooler during the night. That is why I was wearing a jacket in that picture that you saw earlier this week with my new companion Elder Burandt. We have a couple investigators. Our biggest potential is Shanon (who is a guy). We had a lesson with him on Wednesday and he pretty much bore his testimony three times during the lesson. The only down side is they have been teaching him for 3 months and haven't even talked about baptism. So I brought it up and challenged him to a date...so we'll see.

On Saturday we had a dinner set up with a non-member who in the past has been a super big bible basher. His name is Jeff. Elder Burandt & I were sitting there & we hear the door bell ring and in walks a guy holding several bibles. He then walks right up to us and says, "Hi, I am a professor at the local Calvary Bible College and I am here to prove that you two are going to hell." So I sat there and watched this man try to get us to look like fools for 2 1/2 hours then we left. So that was my week...

I hope you all have a good week.

Love always,
Elder Miles
