We had a really good car wash this week.

Dear Family,

On Wednesday morning, Elder Burton and I went to see Nicole with the bishop of the Encinitas ward. He's giving them some financial assistance now. John, her husband, is working two jobs right now. Nicole's health fluctuates a lot; she wasn't able to make it to church again. I finally talked to John on the phone and he agreed to try to meet with us this week. Nicole is still interested and wants to be baptized, but we're going to wait so that they can be baptized as a family.

We did some street contacting and tracting this week. Nothing big came of it, but at least Elder Burton got the experience to write home about. He's a good match for the Zamoras - he was a primary teacher before coming out. It's still not happening with them though - but one of these weeks I'm sure they'll come to church.

The Twiggs are doing really well. They came to church again this week. They say that every time they get the temptation, they just think about how sick they were last time, and it goes away.

I told Grandma to work through the Wilsons on Elsie Whitnack. She agreed to let Elder Burton practice teaching on her. We're trying that approach on a couple other people too.

We got appointments with a couple referrals this week. We'll see how they go. It's nice to visit or call a referral and they actually want to set something up to learn more.

We did go to the Bible study - none of their friends showed up, so we just taught Jeff and his wife about the Book of Mormon. It was pretty cool. We'll go back this week. I don't know how much potential is there, but at least we have the opportunity to testify.

Brother Ek, the Cardiff ward mission leader, helped me raise the seat on my bike, so that's all good now.

Becky, do you still play Neopets? There's a 40 year old man sitting next to me playing it. Heh.

We had a really good car wash this week. I met two cars of Chinese people. It was extremely busy - at times we were washing 5 cars at once with one or two waiting.

We didn't get to meet with the Linkowskis this week. Bummer. We'll try it again.

Yesterday, while street contacting, we found a guy named Fletcher. He was painting some doors at a shop on the highway 101 and he's pretty open to the gospel. He said we could drop off some stuff for him to read and chat with him about it. He lives out of our area, but his wife owns the shop, so he's always there.

That's about it. I've done a lot of training to get Elder Burton into the groove of things. He's a good kid. I hope you all have a great week.

Love,
Elder Myers
