Felsted, Andrew

Hey y'all.  So we'll start with the story of the title. The other day we were walking in the park. We got to talking with this lady. She was nice. We told her our names. She's like you're both named Elder. We told her it was a title for our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. She asked where we where from. I said Utah, and she said, there's a lot of Mormons in Utah, I'm surprised you're not Mormon.  OK so Juan was on date for the 25 of Oct. Well after having a lesson with him..... We moved it the the 11th of Oct!! Yaaa, that's exiting! The other day I got a FB message from someone named Jaime. He saw one of my English class posts. He was interested. So after a couple lessons we asked him if he would be interested in learning about the gospel. He said yes! While this is going on right before Jaime accepted to take the discussions. I got another FB message from Marco (his real name is Edward). He said we where teaching his cousin Englis...

So, it's been a fast week! It's been a fast month! It been a Fast transfer! Drum role  ............... Stop I'm staying here in Thousand Oaks with Elder Ogden. Elder Langford is staying too, he's getting a new comp because Elder Smith is going home. Elder Ogden is gunna be district leader over a now solo español district. He also hit his year mark the other day. So he refused to tell us when it was, but that morn we where in the kitchen eating breakfast and he opened a video from his sister. His phone was on full volume and the vid was his sister shouting "happy one year" so that's how we found out.  OK so busy week. Lots of FB contacting. Teaching English classes. We set up English classes with someone new. Juan is doing well. He seems happy. He said he believes the BOM is true but he needs to read it more. Pray thst he can progress and be ready for his October 25 date. Areseli said she can feel a difference with us teaching her. Pray for her. Graciela to...

So ya lot of ants. We woke up the other day and the counter was covered!  They weren't even near food. A vacuum later thay came again. Who knows why not for food. They're on the ceilings, awww! We set some bait. Rotten fruit outside. So I don't remember if I told yall about Francisco but he's been pretty flakey for the last 2 weeks. On Tuesday we called him and he actually picked up. We asked if we could come bring some cookies over. He says sure but he was leaving for Oxnard in like 10 m so we booked it back to our apt grabbed some of Elder Smiths cookies and booked it over to his place. We haven't heard anything from him since then, but his gf reached out to Elder Ogden on FB and is basically said "thanks for teaching him I've seen a difference in him". Miracle.  We had a bomb service the other morn, basically getting rid of rocks, weeds and bushes off Andy's yard. The wheelbarrow kept breaking on me so I started using some buckets. Anyway fun pr...

So let's start with a miracle. So the other day, during planning, we got a call from our branch pres. He said there was a 15 year old who came to young men's but no one could find his records,. Like he was babtized but no one knows when, they can't even guess an approximate year. So pres says they're thinking of just redoing him. Like having missionaries teach and baptize him over again. Pres said that Elder Ogden and I are the ones he thought would be right for the job.  We had exchanges. So afternoon/evening I was with the District leader and then his comp. The district leader's comp, Elder Gulbrason is supper funny. He likes rap. He showed me a rap he made while on his missh and a rap the two Elders made after their GF left them called "Girls never wait". The district leader Elder Wheeler is a spiritual giant! One person he and I taught that day was awesome. She has a strong desire. She has lots of faith. We asked her to try praying right there in the m...
