The following is from Matt's letter this week:
Well, this week, we tracted into two college girls going to Westmont - a Christian college in Santa Barbara - living in Summerland. Betsy practically grabbed the BOM from us and we went back on Thursday and she was there with her roomate AnneMarie and a boy that may live with them? im not sure... But we had a great discussion and we asked them to read and pray about the BOM and they agreed they would! So that was really cool. They were kinda acuainted with Reality - a local church that really appeals to younger poeple and they have rock bands etc. (It sounds way fun) but they preach alot of anti mormon stuff... But they will be ok! We had to turn them over to the missionaries over the YOung Single Adults ward, so that kinda sucks! Haha!
We also met with Fred - they guy with the cars - and he agreeed to come to church with us! In a few weeks, because he is still in a boot for his hurt foot. But he sounded really interested and excited!
We also met with a guy named Harry. we found out that missionaries have been meeting with him for over 7 years! AGGHHH! so we asked him what the deal was, and why he wouldnt get baptized, and it basically came down to the committment. Its really a lifestyle change! ANd i think his wife doesnt want him to... But we challenged him to pray to know if he should join, and we promised him he would get an answer. So we'll check on him sooon!
The work is great, theres alot! One elder got pneumonia in OIldale and was staying with Sis. Murri at the mission home, but an authority told them that was bad, so it was go home or have a parent come out. So... his mom is out here as his companionfor the next transfer (4more weeks) and they are staying at the Snellings - a family in the ward. We had dinner with them last night and then per tradition, we played apples to apples. FUN! WE also went to the Bartholics - a part member family in the ward - and had lunch with them as they watched the superbowl! It was hard to not watch the funny commercials! So we left pretty quick haha!
