Another great week here in sunny California! and HOT! Ha ha holy cow I have
been sweating all week. For some genius reason we decided to pull our bikes out
this week too. It was almost a 100 degrees out and we were like, Hey lets get on
the bikes that will be awesome! It was really fun and we got to talk to some
people we otherwise wouldn't have.. but man were we sweaty ha ha, and we didn't
realize how hilly it was here in Aurburn until we pulled the bikes out. I
haven't rode in like 8 weeks and my legs were jelly after we got done.
I was told that Minnesota is getting a major heat wave this week and that
its up in the hundreds.. How you doing Devin? Ha ha thats a bummer man. I dont
have to battle the humidity like you do. Its going to keep getting hotter here
too. Supposedly it will be up above a 100 all week. Bring on the heat baby! I am
ready to sweat some more.
Anyways, this week really was a good one. Kind of slow in the finding
department, even though we spent hours out on the streets and knocking doors. We
just weren't able to sniff out the prepared ones. But hey, thats what we got
this week for! Ha. The fourth of July was pretty interesting. We didn't have
very many appointments, so we spent like 3 hours of the day tracting and
everyone kept asking if we ever get a day off and told us that we need to go
home and take it easy. So we kept having to explain to everyone that the Lord
has no days off, so neither do we! Sadly, that day brought no results, and we
had to be inside before all of the fireworks started :( I could hear them all
night though haha.
On Friday we had an awesome "Trainer-Trainee Specialized Training" up in
Gridley. It was great! Heavenly Father chooses the most noble and elite men to
be mission presidents. There is no doubt that my President, President Weston, is
a man of God. He speaks with such power and authority and brings the Spirit in
such abundance that it is literally overflowing out the doors. Every training
meeting and Zone Conference I have been to with him has been so great, and such
a testimony building experience. I am so thankful that our Heavenly Father knows
which of his children will be right and are qualified for such an assignment. I
learned so much that day.
I am so thankful to have Elder Herrera as my companion! He is awesome! He
is so committed to the work and is so excited to be serving the Lord. I have
been very blessed and am so fortunate to have had companions that are willing to
push it and give it their all everyday. It helps me so much and I am so
greatful. Something I have been working on this week is just having more
faith. If I dont believe that something is going to happen and that we will be
lead to someone who is ready, I never will! And I know that is also true with
all aspects of life. So I have been focusing on just having more faith, and it has
been getting me so much more excited about getting out there and working.
I am truly greatful for all of you. I love each one of you dearly, and I
miss all of you! Have another great week family. Go forward with faith!
Love,
Elder Bradley Dillard
