Felsted, Andrew

Well hello everyone! It's me Elder Felsted again! I hope you are all having a swell day!  OK so this week surprisingly went really fast! A lot happened but it's honestly kind of a blur.  So we had a lot of teaching appointments set up this week, but if you don't have the right address or phone number or people just don't answer the phone, they don't go over so well. I wish that people would call us ahead of time to cancel rather than us showing up and them just not answering the door or giving us some excuse. Now there are some people who do call and that's nice but a lot don't. What can you do?  Dealing with members is great! Sometimes it can bring a little drama tough. We did give a blessing to a member this week. That was really cool. It was in front of her non member father, mother, and sister in law so that was cool! The member was explaining to her father in law what a blessing is. She said "they can bless with the power of God, so what they say c...

Hey what is going on everyone!?!? I hope you are all doing well!  Well let me tell you something. So I started the MTC on July 1st. But I didn't acually go anywhere other than downstairs to do online MTC. Well I came out to Cali on Aug 10th 2020. That means I've been in Cali for just over a year now. Kinda crazy!  So we had Zone conference on Tuesday. That was Awesome! I love Zone conference! It's kind of tiring some times but I love hearing from President and Sister Carter. Zone conference was up in San Luis Obispo so I got to see the ocean again on the drive up. They always provide lunch for us at Zone conference and it's always good!  So we had a good amount of member visits this week. This one stands out. She had told us before that she wanted to set up a visit with us while her husband was working. That last visit we had talked about love and shared John 15:12-13. She forgiveness was brought up. So fast forward to the visit this week with her. We talked about forgi...

Hello everybody! How are you?.... Good to be here.  Well let me tell you, this week flew by! Like what just happened? So "I'm not dead yet" is a song by Jen Ledger. I don't know why but as I sat down to write this email that song just popped into my head. So I was thinking about how it could relate to my week and I decided sure why not.  Speaking of songs and Music. We had a member visit last Monday night. This couple is very into music! They like lots of music, but they love my kind of music! So we talked a lot about music and bands and concerts and stuff. We had s'mores. I love s'mores! I ate 6! Which I definetly regretted the next day. Of course we shared a great scripture too. John 15:12-13. VERRY good scriptures about love. Highly recommended.  So I know your all dying to know what happened with Eloy and Maria as far as them getting married. So They need an ID right to buy the license. It was a hastle but I finally got to talk to a real person (not a robo...

Hey wonderfully friends and family! I hope you all had a great week! This week went really fast! Lots going on.  First for the title. So this week we were going to go to the DMV to get Eloy and Maria IDs so they could buy a Marriage license, so they could get legally married, so that they can get baptized. Well there is this place called DMV Services that helps with the paperwork side of things for the DMV. It's supposed to make things easier. We'll long story short, they were nice but said they can't help because Eloy and Maria don't have social security #s. We didn't think they needed those to fill out this paper work. We'll apparently they do. They told us to just go to the DMV and they can help. We'll it was closed by then so we went the next day. I can defenetly see why the DMV gets a bad rap. This lady who was "helping" costomers was very rude. Very not helpful. She said no social security # "we can't issue an ID". It was and is...
