Hey Everything is going great we have plans to teach the plan of salvation to a young couple today. He asks all the right questions.
Hey Dad sorry I forgot to say Happy Fathers Day to you. I just want to say I appreciate all you do and am starting to realize the responsibility you have as a priesthood leader.
President Cooks wife set a face book page for our mission. There might be a picture of me and my companion on there.It is called. Mission:Carlsbad California Mission-president cook.
We have been talking alot about emergency preparedness lately. They are wanting us to have a 72 hour kit . The problem is we don't have a lot of that stuff laying around the apartment. So anything you could send would be great. I could really use a backpack to pack it in.
There is a preacher here who has made it his mission to preach anti Mormon literature here. It is pretty hard it seems like he has gotten to a lot of people. My companion is really good at it though. For everything they come up with that he has told them, my comp has an answer. We don't get into it very much but when we get hit with it he has great answers. I am learning a lot. I feel bad because these people are so faithful to their religion and they are such good people just confused. They are from the Born Again religion. I wish they would open their hearts so they could hear us., but this guy has done a good job at deceiving these people.
My companion and I are still having some great conversations about cars. We have started a lot of conversations with people about cars. My companion is a little strict. He asks me at night if my eyes are closed. I tell him "Elder my eyes close when they close". But he is a good driver and here with all this traffic that is important. I miss the slow traffic of Highland. Ok so there isnt any traffic in Highland.. ha ha..
I am doing good and learning a lot. I love the gospel and appreciate all of you guys so much.
Love you all
Stay Classy
Elder Schmidt
