Elder Bassett - email (09-30-2013)

Hello Family!

This first week has been great! My companion, Elder Calhoun, is from Arizona and is awesome. He has only been out here for 3 months, and he has been assigned as my trainer. He is completely stressing out about it, but I think he is doing a great job. He is 18 and came out right after college, so there is an interesting mix of experience and youthful optimism between the two of us.

I have meet so many people in Pasco 6th ward. They are all awesome. Elder Calhoun found a new investigator last Monday before I came, and this last Saturday, we taught a woman who is super open and interested in what we teach. So we have 2 new investigators this week! We also invited another man to be baptized (He said yes!), but he did not show up for sacrament meeting, unfortunately. I love the ward here. They are all dedicated to help each other and the less actives.

IT IS SO COOL THAT DAKODA IS WANTING TO COME ON A MISSION!!! He won't regret it. He will learn so much, about God, about the Church, about the Spirit, and most importantly, about himself. You have no idea how much that sentence made my day better.

So much has happened I am not sure what to tell you. Thanks for the letters. I think it would be cool if you send quotes with your emails. It will give me something to ponder throughout the week. Also, I could not find any CD's in Walmart to listen to today. The only CD's we have are conference talks (which are great, but I can't concentrate in my studies with Bednar and Monson talking in the background) and home made/ recorded missionary songs that are ok the first couple times.

Love all of y'all!

Elder Bassett
