Hi,
This was a good week, Missionary wise and normal person wise. First
of all, I haven't taught a single lesson to anyone the past 3 weeks who learned
English as their first language haha. But that might change soon cause we got a referral, and the word used to
describe him was "elect"! We'll meet him this week. Apparently he's
been talkingto missionaries online for a few weeks.
Also this Chinese lady who has been looking for a church to
join randomly came to church last Sunday. She has a Mormon friend who
suggested she come. Luckily we have 3 people who served missions in China or
Taiwan so they help us teach her. It also gives me a chance to flex my Chinese
skills. 我不是好在中国.
But it will improve!
Also someone I taught down
in Hollister got baptized recently! Her name is Vickie and she is super cool.
We also taught her husband and he was gonna get baptized too, but was thrown in
jail the morning of his baptism. What a bummer. He was at his daughter’s
wedding earlier in the week and she wanted to smoke weed with daddy one last time
and he complied. Well he felt so bad about it he repented and felt like he need
to tell his parole officer, so he did. Got thrown in jail a couple hours before
he and his wife's baptisms. Oh 🐳. But he's been asking for copies of the Book of
Mormon to give to his cell mates and buddies so good for him, gold star for
missionary work ⭐️.
Other than that we've
officially started pick-up basketball at the church every week and it's super
fun. My
favorite comment this past week was "I never thought I'd get tricked into a Mormon church in my whole life". #GotEm. That guy is gonna give me a fresh cut soon so obviously he's not too mad. Other than that I
adopted the Philippino missionary in the district as my son so that's pretty exciting – he’s a great missionary.

And, Warriors just won it
all so this area is bumping. Least amount of basketball I've watched my whole
life, but being in the winning team’s area is pretty neat. All the bars are selling
drinks half off around town so that's a plus too (that includes sodas as well!) Gotta love Dub Nation.
Until next week.
Love ya,
Elder Barker
