Explosions and Baptisms

March 2, 2015

I'll start with the highlight of my week......I saw a Raven explode haha! We were driving to dinner yesterday and one of the power lines like blew up 50 feet in front of us and we saw all of these burning things fall down all over the road. When we drove by, there was a huge dead bird with burnt feathers. Yep, it was awesome. On our way home that night we saw the electricians working on the power lines. Apparently they are endangered so they're everywhere. I like to call them flying rats haha. Yep, that was the best moment of my week.

No, not really, but it was funny. The real best part of the week is that Gilbert is still a boss and reading his scriptures and coming to church, and Abby came to New Beginnings on Wednesday with her friend, Ysella. We also started teaching the cousin or our other recent converts. Her name is Aleese and she is 8 years old. She is a cutie. Ally, our other investigator has been reading a chapter in the Book of Mormon every single day! We have had some really awesome lessons with our less actives too. I learn so much from each one of them. Also, Rose and Richard back in Diamond Bar are getting baptized next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to go and see them. They were my favorite people ever and I was sad to leave them but apparently things are going good with them again and they are ready. I'm seriously on cloud 9 just thinking about it.

All that good stuff made up for a tough week. God is teaching me humility, trust, charity, and faith. There have been a couple of those days where you drive around all day, trying so many people and no one is home or interested. But, ya gotta look on the bright side. God always puts good in between all that not so fun stuff to make it all worth it. He is always there and is so aware of us.

Btw. This coming weekend we are doing a mission-wide fast to strengthen our faith in Christ that he is preparing people to receive the gospel. I'd invite each of you to participate. I know that when we call upon the powers of heaven miracles happen. I'm excited!

Sorry that I don't have many cool stories or updates. Just chuggin along, lovin mission life. Thank you again for being so wonderful. Love you all!
