This week has been great. Our whole mission has been doing something interesting this week. We are doing a member meal fast. So basically, we haven't eaten dinner at members houses or fast food or anything. We have been making all of our own food. We haven't killed ourselves yet, so I would say we have done a pretty good job. I've definitely been learning how to cook more stuff.
Crazy Person Alert! So we were walking down Broadway last night. A guy came up and started to talk to us. I'm pretty sure he was drunk or something. He was trying to put a toy shoe into a pool noodle. He talked to us for a little bit. He told us how the book of revelations is happening now. It was interesting. Then when he walked away, he threw his pool noodle on the ground and started kicking it and yelling. Crazy people are great.
This week I want to challenge everyone to exercise their faith. We learned in General Conference that faith is like a muscle and we need to exercise it to keep it strong. So this week practice having faith. Read Alma 32:21,26-27. So as you go through the week remember to have faith and remember to pray in faith. Have faith that your Heavenly Father does love you enough to answer your prayers. He does love you that much. You are literally one of his children. You are His "work and glory."
Have a good week,
Love, Elder Bronson
This is my new companion Elder Slaugh. It is kind of cool because he started his mission in this exact area. All of the ward remembers him and everything. Now he is ending his mission here in Santa Maria. Born and died in SM 1st ward.
