Earnest

Sup guys!
Sorry I've been kind of neglecting all of you. I apologize. Well, I saw Jay Leno the other day, and I found out that the place where they make that super gross show "1000 ways to die" is in my area, and I bike past it every day. Not that I'm proud of that or anything. But yes, I do live in california, and Hollywood is just over the hills from me.
This past couple of weeks were kinda tough. I was kinda sick the whole time, and we didn't have much success. But near the end we found some really good people. We get to do a Family Home Evening with one of the parents of a recent convert, which I am very excited about.
We've been knocking a lot of doors lately. But it's tough when there are lots of JW's that live around here, and lots of people who don't speak Spanish (or English), and another pair of English missionaries. But we still have success. Through the grace of God, we find people.
Also, something really cool that I found out is that the Holy Spirit is like a tiny taste of what Eternal Life feels like. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. Check it out. The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 1:13-14 and 2 Corinthians 1:22 calls the holy spirit an "Earnest", which is, according to dictionary.com:

Pretty interesting, eh? I thought that was super cool. But my comp is looming over my shoulder, I gotta go. I love you all!
