Today was kind of a slow day, but it was still good. I'm so grateful to have E. Ouellette as a companion. He is so positive and diligent in doing the work. I really like it here in Brentwood and Oakley. I don't think I mentioned this before,but we live with the Bishop and his wife here in Brentwood. The Garrison's are awesome and they have a big beautiful home. Sister Garrison is from Tooele! Her maiden name is Pratt, and the Pratt Aquatic Center in Tooele is named after her dad! She knows a lot of the people that I know, and it's been fun to talk to hear about good ol' Tooele. Well, me and E. Ouellette have been working hard and have had some good appointments. We are teaching this LA guy named Rob Cossell. He is a great guy but is doubting the existence of God. We are also teaching a wonderful old couple - Cecilia and Lou. They are LA and live on Bethal Island on a tiny house boat. It is the smallest house I've ever seen. She loves it. She says it is heaven on earth! It's pretty much a shack, but she is so grateful for what she has. We had a good talk with them and have an appointment with them tomorrow. During our talk I got sea sick!
