Second 3-Week Update for President Carter

Hello dear Pres. Carter,

We're doing well and hope that you and Sis. Carter are doing the same.  We pray for you both often.

In the past 3 weeks, we have given rides (to airport, or medical appts) to the following missionaries:

E. Gustafson, Hna. Valentine, Hna. Braun, Elder Nunley, E. Pickrell, Hna. Marshall

We were privileged to teach 15 lessons with the junior missionaries!  Always a highlight for us.  One particular lesson i wanted to share with you re: Abraham (who you first met in Sta. Maria, then later at an Oxnard baptism)...he is so excited about the new principles he's learning from the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, that he asked his missionaries (E. Larsen, Bethers, Rosenlund) for 33 Books of Mormon to share with his fellow 'celery field' workers!  We obtained the books and had him dictate his testimony to us 5 missionaries (he can't write) and we wrote it in the front of these precious books.  The next morning, the Elders hauled these books out to the field and distributed them with Abraham!  wow, so impressive!

I must say wrt Abraham, that i was super impressed with your memory of meeting him in Santa Maria, when he didn't even remember it himself.

We went 3 times to Catholic Charities in Ventura and helped with their food pantry and have also helped them organize a new clothing closet.  Now that we've moved to our Camarillo duplex, we will probably transfer to their OASIS services (older adults) in Camarillo.

We have spoken in the Camino Real ward Sacrament meeting (and are scheduled to do so again next week).  we also had dinner with the EQ President and his wife (Miguel & Belia Soto) to get to know them better.  Lastly, we attended an English Connect Class in Lompoc and they did a good job (4 attendees).
