Week 62

Hola de California,


This week was great we had real good sucess in many ways and they were all great blessings that the Lord saw fit to give us. We had a great experience this week to be able to go on splits with the young men in the ward and Elder Danesh took the YM President and a Priest to a lesson and I went knocking with another Priest in the area of town that all the white people do not like to go and we call little meh-hee-co and lots of murders and bad stuff goes on there... so he was having fun and enjoying it.

(Dont worry mother everything is ok) It was quite ironic the first door we knocked was in a huge latino apartment complex and white people answered the door and I did not know what to say b/c it was weird to see them there. Unfortunately they didn't want anything to do with us and told us to go away basically and shot my whole dreams to ever be happy again. Just playing but the lesson that Elder Danesh was at went great. That family (Los Hernandez) is going to get baptized sooner or later they just need to get to church and that is the hard part, something ALWAYS comes up Sunday morning. We also had a great lesson with a girl (Corina) that went with a friend to General Conference in Salt Lake to two sessions. She loved it and stop talking about it and is driving her sisters crazy talking about it, she came to church on Sunday and with her sister and loved it. SO basically the Lord blessed us with being able to teach her and set a baptismal goal for the first of November and hope all runs smoothly as it has til then.

We are diggin the new pad and only one problem or two. Elder Danesh loves sugar stuff and leaves it out all the time(which is one problem) , and then the ants attack in full forces to wherever it is at. We finally got rain last night after 10 months of nothing!! We are all exicted and loving it. Hope all is well with everyone and would love to hear from everyone so love ya bye.
