Ok family!
What is up, how are y'all doing today? So I don't have too much time today, it has been SOOO busy but I'll make sure I sum up everything.
Well we went to the temple today and WOW I love the temple, so peaceful and wonderful to be in the house of God, so so cool. I really just learned so much more and loved how we went as a whole zone. The Temple in LA is huge! Haha I love it, after we went to Hollywood...haha the member who took us to the temple drove us through and we saw such cool stuff, it's crazy to think last time I was like 10 or 11! Wow, and now I'm here again as a missionary! haha, I love my mission.
Ok so well as y'all know transfers are almost over next week on Tuesday, we have no idea what is going to happen! But I know that it is in the will of the Lord and I will be happy with whatever! I have really tried to focus on a lot this week but really on the principle of time, like Elder utchdorf said, "LOVE is actaully spelt, T-I-M-E." I love that, because it's so true, so many people think that love is material or money, but it's all the personal time together we have, that's what the church really teaches that Love is all! It's so great.
This week we had a lot of success with my District. We had a carwash! For free with the elders of the english ward, there were 4 English and 4 Spanish and we had a great time, in the end we beat the record for member presents for a zone and the misson completely this week! It was so cool to see the wards come together and work hard to just serve the public!
Dad thanks so much for the pictures and the cookies! I LOVE them both so much, that means a lot that you did that for me and I really Love the pics of Mom. So much, it makes me love the Plan of Salvation so much more and a love for Mom on a more understanding level.
So this week my whole district got sick, I was first, then my companion and then the other elders! But it was fun to all be sick together trying to speak Spanish with our nasally noses! haha
This week I really learned that I just love to have fun on my mission! That when we fall, it's ok, getting back up is the process afterwards. We make mistakes in life to grow from them.
So also that one person we found that is ASL, well he is getting baptized on the 22nd of September! Cool! We gave him to the ASL elders in Anaheim and it was so so so cool to sit in and watch a lesson with them, it reminded me of you Connor Searing! haha, Hope you're doing good out there! It's so cool, that even though there are so many walls around and things to block people from hearing or knowing about the message of the restoration, it is promised that all ears and mouths shall hear and know of it, until the great work of Christ is done! Cool huh!
I love this area so much and I love all my recent coverts, seeing them progress still so so much after their baptism, it's the best and I have really grown a love for all of them! It's going to be hard if I have to leave, hope I don't.
So yes transfers are coming and calls are Saturday to see what will happen, I'll let you all know next Monday!
I wish I could write more but I have 0 time! I love you all and I'll talk to you next week!
