Cupertino! I'm here. My new address is:
100 Buckingham Dr #249
Santa Clara, CA 95051
We live right next to a SAS Shoes, I thought of Dad when we pulled up for the first time.
So my new companion is Elder Anderson, he's from Farmington UT. He's been out 14 months, and he's a great companion, we get along really well.
We have a few investigators here, I think he most promising is Helena (from GuanDong) and James and Elva.
Helena is an exchange student staying with members that meets with us weekly. She at first just wanted to learn about religion for the sake of it, but now she is praying by herself and reading from the book of mormon without us asking. She is 19 and studying at DeAnza college across the street from our church. Very very promising.
James and Elva are a couple from north of Beijing in their early thirties, brand new daughter born a month ago, they investigated the church last year but they were determined not the be ready to be baptized by a senior couple and they dropped off the missionary radar, but they kept coming to church every week for the past year+ so we had dinner with them last night with another member and invited them to be baptized again and Elva wants to but James said they aren't ready because he can't afford tithing right now, so he said in 2 months he wants to meet with us. They want it, but they aren't willing to stick with tithing. Very common for chinese people.
There are a lot of other investigators that are progressing well, I just haven't met them yet. Will write more next week about them!
So also in other news Fremont is doing well, I hear about the investigators up there a lot. The Mao's keep asking Elder Butcher when I am available to have dinner so they can come down to Cupertino, so that makes me happy to hear that. Sophie asked me when in the next month or so her and her family can come down and do the same. That made me glad. It's only a 20-30 minute drive!
Chapter 2 here we go.
Love,
Elder Sanchez
