Week 39

Dear Family and friends,

So first, I am ok and don't have "el chancho". That is the name that Elder Moncayo and I have given the swine flu crap. I guess it has gotten bad enough that our President has told us to buy two weeks worth of food today. He says that we may have to be confined to our apartments for a week or so. Kill me please if that happens! We think if that happens we are going to go insane and not want to be around eachother. Also that would be horrible because we are booked everyhour of everyday for the next week and we have 6 people with baptismal dates. So we dont know what is going to happen here in California, this place is loco!

Anyways the Lord is blessing our mission abundantly with people to teach and people who have commited to baptism. The Lord is doing his part and we are working our butts off to make sure that we keep up and do ours. Right now we are teaching a man that claims he has seen Jesus and he and I always sing Country Gospel music together. Yesterday we had to ride our bikes and it was funny because our area is all hills, big hills that never stop. so you have me that is not used to riding the bike and out of shape from the car, and my handlebars werent exactly all the way tight and they kept on moving and we thought we were just going to die because of the hills. Also the family that we were going to visit fed us KFC and was not good combination for riding the bike.

We are being blessed with lots of sucess and we are working to do our part. Please pray for us to stay away from el chancho. and for all of our investigators to be baptized.

Elder Jimmie Watkins
