Mom,
It is crazy. Time has gone by super fast.
Church was good, it was pretty empty. Testimony meeting was just a lot of stories. This branch is a little interesting but it is full of nice people who always keep you on your toes. We didn't end up helping out, we just got to enjoy the ride.
Not a lot of people live super close to the actual city of Beeville so we don't get fed a lot because most people live an hour away from Beeville. There is one lady that feeds us every Wednesday which is nice.
Things are good here. Today we had to drive to Corpus to fix Elder Morera's bike so we spent the day looking around and shopping. We got his bike fixed, had lunch at Jack in the Box and then we went to a bunch of stores to do some shopping. I got all the new clothes I need so that makes me happy.
This email will be quite a bit longer than the previous ones because we are just driving back to Beeville (which is about an hour drive) so I have nothing to do but write emails.
This week was good. I'm trying to think of some highlights.
We had zone conference on Thursday which was good. We talked about being consecrated and sacrifice. I also bore my testimony in front of everyone since it will be my last zone conference. So that was crazy. I also just have to say that I love President and Sister Ocampo, they are amazing.
Fun little story for the week was that on Saturday evening we were walking around a little neighborhood 5 miles out of Beeville called Blueberry hill. We walked around and a small dog started following us around for about 2 miles. Then we got on our bikes and started heading home because it was late. The dog still followed us. (Elder Morera named him Milo) He then followed us for the whole 5 mile bike ride back to our apartment. We can't have pets and so we left him outside with some water and a piece of meat. We said a prayer and in the prayer we asked God to help Milo either go home or get somewhere safe. Minutes later a lady knocked on our door and asked whose dog Milo was. We told her the story and she said she would take him in for the night and ask around at the animal shelter if anyone knew who the dog belonged to. She also said that if no owner was found she would keep him because she was thinking about adopting a dog that was the same breed as Milo. So that was pretty cool.
Also on Sunday a guy came to church and asked us to visit his friend who is a less active member who lives an hour away. We went by and he ended up inviting us to dinner at an Italian place in Beeville. So we went to dinner, and it was super good.
I can't think of any other highlights. That was pretty much it.
Hope all is well. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Goodbaudy
