Missionary stuff from Red Bluff

We stopped and talked to a lady named Susan on the street as we were biking around last week, and we set up a time for us to stop by again. She didn't seem 100% there, but we were doing the best we could with what we had so we went with it. When we went over to try and meet with her we ended up talking to her neighbor,  Kevin, who was working on his motorcycle in front of his apartment. He told us a bit about himself, and how he never really had the Gospel in his life. We taught him a bit about he message of the Restoration, and when we invited him to learn more he said "I would like that. I need that in my life." We gave him a Book of Mormon, and set up a time to come by again. It was pretty neat to see, because we were doing the best we could with who we were working with and we ended up picking up a more solid investigator. The Lord blesses us as we try our best!

James is doing so well in the Gospel so far. It has been so neat to see his progression in just the few short weeks that we have been working with him. Every time we have an appointment we have him pray at the end, and his prayers have become progressively more sincere every time. He has realized how much he is truly searching for the truth, and he has been praying for God to guide him to what is right. He came to church this past week, and he really enjoyed it! He said he is going to come back next week. He is such an awesome guy, and I love working with him because of his sincerity and real intent.

Huey is doing great as well. He is still preparing for his baptism on August 2nd, and he is excited for it. He gave up smoking this past week, and he told us "No more cigarettes. I promise." Huey is so amazing. He has so much faith, and he has such a kind heart. He has been coming to church every week for the past couple weeks and things are going well. He is almost through 2nd Nephi right now, and he just keeps chugging along through he Book of Mormon. He loves it, and it is so awesome to see his testimony and how it has grown.

Love you guys! Have a good week!
