Hey just have anyone who wants to write me send it to the mission home (4945 Lincoln way Oakand CA 94602)
HEY!! Week TWO! so my area is really cool it’s about the size of Spanish Fork, it’s called Hayward. It’s a really nice area it reminds me of Utah all the time.. I spoke in church the first Sunday I got here it was intense! Cuz we really didn’t have any notice, but my talk went really well! So the ward is great! It’s veery diverse there are a lot of families from Tonga and Samoa we get to EAT SO MUCH FOOD!! I’ve gained 10 pound and lost all motivation to exercise.. Oh well :)
The first Saturday here there was a baptism I’m not sure if I had mentioned that last time??? His name is Delano he’s 14 years old. We’re working with his little brother Keoni who is 11, he's going to be baptized hopefully at the end of the month. We’re also working with a guy named Willie, we’re helping him quit smoking. He’s been doing well, he came to Delano's baptism and he was at church as well.
The people in this area are really nice. I feel the respect and love from so many people we come in contact with. It’s hard sometimes though, California is a very worldly place. It seems like satan has a hold of people hearts with the things of the world. Mostly cars, bling, clothes and RIMS- people that don’t even have money to buy the basic things of life still have a set of RIMS ON their CAR!!! ????? I just don’t get it? And when people have the things of the world they think they don’t need the Savior in their lives. The people here are good people though and elder Canova and I work hard to help them see the blessing they are given.
I love my comp. we have a lot of fun, I’m loving mission life. I’m learning more about myself and about the Savior every day. I’m finding it’s hard sometimes but the hard work always pays off. There are time's when we go places - if we’re given an address for a referral or trying to find a members house and we can't find it- we just keep looking and the spirit just guides us and we end up crossing paths with someone that needs us. I love the gospel I love the Savior. I am so grateful for all the support of all my friends and family!! I LOVE EVERYONE!!! k well gotta go play volley ball :) BYE
Elder Blandon
