Berry, Benjamin T

So this week has been quick. We had a good week with TONS of success. I'm starting to really like this Elder Stone. He's a bit intense and likes to ram things with his head, but other than that, he's a pretty normal missionary. We had tons of friends at church, and it's so fun to talk to people there! Church as a missionary can be stressful, but I've learned to soak up that short 7 minutes of the sacrament. Most peaceful time of the week for me. Even when I sleep at night, I'm teaching people in my dreams. Sunday, we have this "new and returning member class," and it's taught by the older people in the ward. And boy, they just go way out into left field on simple gospel doctrine. Next thing we know, our Ward Mission Leader is telling how he put consecrated oil on his truck and blessed it, and his truck started. Or another dude would chime in that he had something similar happen. The class is supposed to be on "simple" gospel doctrine, but...

Hey, okay, brief one today. So transfers happened and I'm still in Fresno YSA and Van Ness. This area is goated btw. My new comp is Elder Stone from Midway, Utah. He's a funny dude and a great missionary. We're doing great and accomplishing great things right now, with the help of the Lord. Anyways, we've seen lots of miracles in the work lately. We met a super awesome referral who is progressing well named Deborah. Also, the other day this guy was going like 30 mph on a scooter and kept running red lights and was INCHES away from getting smacked. He definitely stole something. Either that, or he's got a girl he's going to see. She's not that petty to risk your life for, man. Wrestling a 6ft 10 AP is fun too. You just go for the legs. He did get me in a good chokehold the other day. Campus is shutting down so YSA is slowing down a bit, but we're finding lots of people through members. We steal the food from the activities too. They weren't too happy ...
