Catching up...

Okay, I admit. I fell down on the blogging job last week. For all our loyal readers, I will get caught up on Andrew's news from the Texas Houston South Mission.

As mentioned in the previous post...it is a small, small world. Even  smaller than I realized. Eldrew described the small world story from his perspective:

So it is a very small world. 2 instances: The Ence family...I had dinner there and Sister Ence who's from Cali has cousins who went to Viewmont. She asked me if I knew them..."Do you know Nick Baker?"...

"Does he have a sister named Liz?"...

"Yes! Liz Baker is my cousin! Do you know her?"....

"Yes, we hung out nearly every night two summers ago, she brought me otterpops when my tonsils were taken out."

Then the story that you know about the Brame family knowing Elizabeth BUT it's even cooler than that...Brother Brame served his mission in South Carolina and I said, "This is a stretch but do you know the Vaughn family?" and he did. He was in their ward his first transfer. The Vaughns are Whitney's step siblings. Zion's a small paradise...i'm tellin' you...(But i'm trying to change that).

The work.

We are kind of focusing our energies on [some less active members of the Church] right now...an awesome couple that is actually a part member family so it's an investigator too I guess? ha ha he's not too interested but very supportive...they are into cool college radio music from the 80's like old cure, the cult, old U2, etc. He skateboards and used to listen to punk...awesome. I told him I used to skate and that I was in a punk band...he didn't believe it. Last visit I commited him to listen to a few new bands to break his cynicism towards modern music. Today we're having a family home evening with them and we are going to [ask] them to read B. of M with eachother.

Other sundry and random status update from The Elder.

This week was really good...

I have a tooth ache right now...

I'm getting really fat thanks to Blue Bell ice cream but I'm happy...

I'm getting better at door approaches and candid conversation...

I have gotten a lot of mail these passed two weeks...

Especially from Whitney...

More to come in the next few days: Houston Halloween, first photo CD from Eldrew, and another letter.Stay tuned!
