Update!

How was Isaac's wedding?! I don't even know what day it was...sniff...sniff. Hopefully, it went great. I'd love to hear about it if someone gets the chance. Where was it? Send me lots and lots of pics okay!

 This week has gone by crazy fast so idk if there's much to tell, but I'll try my best. Good news is.....................WE GOT TWO NEW BAPTISMAL DATES!!!! Hurray for miracles! It's Rose and her husband( I mentioned Rose last week) We taught them the restoration again, this time Richard was there, and they both accepted to get baptized on August 30th.I was so so excited. They're so prepared and they have such sweet hearts. She just had surgery so she hasn't been able to make it church yet but when they can I know they will. We have lunch again with them this week so we'll see how they're progressing. Our zone is getting a lot of new investigators too so every one is pretty pumped for the next couple of months. Oh, and it's my two month B-day today!  Time flies by, yet I look back and I feel like I've been out for like a year. Time is super weird here. 

Our ward is still doing great. I love the members so much. There's a Poly family in ward that we have a blast with whenever we go over. They're super funny and always invite us to their parties. The dad grew up New Zealand and he thinks that his dad might have known you dad. Who knows. His name is Bro Tuala-hsifuhefhehfuhihfzzlzlz(something along those lines). We have a dinner with members every night which is great because we get to help them with their missionary work. You all should invite the missionaries over more often emkay. Sam, you should go on splits with them too! You'll love it. I think one of the hardest things about this ward is helping people invite their friends and family to hear about the gospel. We've been trying to come up with new ideas to get investigators through members, but really, we can only do so much. In the end it's up to them to invite their friends. Missionary work can be a wee bit frustrating sometimes haha. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by how much we want to accomplish and how much I feel like I want to improve, but I know that if I work hard the Lord will bless us with what we need. There's so much potential in our area, it just needs a little push to get things really going. This area is actually extremely religious. Almost everyone has a church here because there's one on every corner. It gets competitive haha. Accept some like to play dirty and give out a lot of anti mormon stuff and tell everyone not to talk to us. That can be hard. Southern California is extremely diverse though. I think I've met someone from just about every country you could think of. It's super helpful having a comp that speaks Spanish too because we have a lot of Hispanics. The Elders area ​a lot of Asians so they're trying to learn some Chinese haha. It's all coming along though. 
​Well, sorry I didn't have much to say today. My brain is mush right now, so trying to remember anything is turning out to be quite the fiasco. I never know what I told who or where I wrote what so if I ever repeat or miss anything I apologize before hand haha. Know that I love you all and love hearing from you. I still haven't gotten a hand written letter my whole mission so the first one to send me one gets a prize! However, I love emails too! If you don't like emails send me pics.


Love ya lots,
Sister Prows
