Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good. We had fun and went and shared messages with members, we used the Mormon message one about thanksgiving.

Stanley is great. He is really great. We don't have to do much with him at all at church these days, he says hi to us and talks for a bit but then goes and talks with members. That is great because he is converted to the gospel not to us. However, he was like that from the get go. But still it is nice to not really have to worry too much. We had the first new member lesson and we had him teach us the restoration to see what he remembered and understood. He taught us everything and very well in fact so he is great. He is always asking for more restoration pamphlets and cards to give out.

I have probably 2 more weeks here, and then I am on the chopping block. I have been here for 6 months, Newhall for 4 and half months, Granada Hills for 6 months (with a month stint in Northridge and Granada) and 6 weeks in Valencia 3rd. So I probably have about 1 or 2 areas left or 3 if I end how I started in Valencia 3rd.

We were knocking in this apartment building that had a few Thai people in it. We knock on a door and a man opens it and says, “Oh hi, yeah come on in.” We were confused because that wasn't the right response for a door approach, ha-ha. It turns out he is a member that was baptized back in '84 in San Diego and then moved up here and fell away because of his friends. But we are going to start teaching him the lessons and hopefully he will start to come to church. This was all told to me by Elder Tobchan as I do not speak Thai. We keep going along. We have Zone conference on Wednesday and then Zone training meeting on Friday and then the temple trip next Wednesday and then Transfers the Tuesday after that so yeah these weeks hopefully will blow by.

Elder Hyde
