James is doing really well. He told us yesterday that he is excited for his baptism, and he has been doing awesome with the Word of Wisdom ever since we taught it to him. Huey is doing awesome as well. We have been talking to him about the things that happen after baptism, and he is wanting to prepare to go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. He has been telling us that he is very excited to be baptized and to receive a calling. He wants to serve The Lord and others so much, and he keeps saying he can't wait until he is able to serve with a calling. We had a "Linger, Longer" after church on Sunday, and Huey was right there helping alongside everyone to get everything set up. On another note, we are trying to get the member missionary effort in the ward rolling more, so we have been doing a couple different things during Priesthood Opening exercises in order to get the members more excited. We were asking if anybody had a missionary experience in the past week, and a couple people shared their experiences. After a little bit, Huey stood up and told everyone how much of a blessing we have been to him. He mentioned how grateful he is that we rode up on our bikes that day and talked to him. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have had to be able to serve here in Red Bluff so far. I am loving it.
A member talked to us about going to help a lady try and fix her roof, so we borrowed a ladder from a member that lived close by. After checking her roof out for a bit we started talking to her and asking her what she knew about the church. We ended up teaching her the Restoration and committing her to baptism on September 13th! It was such an awesome miracle. After that we took the ladder back over to the member's house...on our bikes. It was a lot of fun!
The mission is going awesome. I love it so much. Even though it ain't the easiest sometimes, it is so worth it.
Love you guys!
