Dear Family,
This week was a really good one! The work is progressing so much! I love to be a missionary right now, and am excited for the coming transfer! I am going to be transferred. I am going Bermuda Dunes. That is out in Indio, which is past Palm Desert. I am going the desert, and will be with a new companion. I am excited, and a little scared. I am sure this is how all missionaries feel.
Before I go on with my week, everyone who reads this needs to go to:
This is the Easter video that the church has put up. It is amazing!!! I have already seen it 4 times!! The church has paid some really good money for this video, and it is so good! It is not other bible videos, this one is really good, and is very easy to relate to. You should all watch it, then share it. If I could I would be sharing it in a second. it is amazing!!!
Now for the week!
This week really was a great one! Ernest is getting baptized!! He will be baptized on May 3rd. It is going to be great! He is growing so much!! It has been wonderful to work with him in the time that I have had. His Spirit is so strong! You can tell that this is really what he wants to do!! He is getting stronger, and is opening up more to the kids in the ward. It is wonderful!! Our other investigator Adrian is doing well! He is progressing, and really wants to learn more. It is great!! They are both progressing, and are both following the path that the Lord has for them!
We also have an amazing potential investigator!! His name is David, and he is great! We know him, because of one of our members in the ward. He, without the help of the missionaries, has read through the Book of Mormon twice, and has been to Salt Lake City for general conference! How great is that! He is doing so well, and we haven't even taught him yet! It is amazing the work that the members can do, and the progress that we can all have! The Lord is truly blessing this area! It was great, we went to our members house, and David was there because he is their friend. We were there to bake cookies to give to members in both wards. While we were there waiting for the cookies, we ended up watching Mormon Messages. It is amazing the Spirit that comes with those simple videos! I love doing this work, and getting things done!
This week we also want our to Banning. For those of you who don't know, that is about 45 minutes out of Redlands. It was so fun! The air there is so clear! It is like a huge farming community, and looks just like Northern Utah. It is beautiful there! Well, we went there to find our less actives. When we knocked on a door, a mom answered. She told us that her son had moved out, but that she was going to let him know that we stopped by. She was so grateful that we drove all the way from Redlands to come and see her son. It was that moment that I realized that we can't just call those people we are supposed to go and see. We can't just call those we visit or home teach. We have to stop by, at least once. We will never know what kind of an impact that our presence can have on somebody. There are so many sweet people here! It is going to be a little hard to leave, but it will be the Lords work!
This week we also went to Market night. It is a farmers market that people go to, and you walk up and down the streets and see what the people have to offer. It is so great! We were taken there by members, and just had a great time walking around, and seeing the different things that people had to offer. I did learn something there though. What ever you do, do not go and eat Chinese food from a vender there. It is not the best thing in the world. It all worked out in the end though. It was just a lot of fun!
This week was good. It is going to be sad to leave this area, but I will go and do what the Lord wants me to do. He knows what needs to be done, and He will make whatever He wants to happen, happen.
This is amazing work! I love it so much!
Everyone have a great week!! You are all in my prayers!
I love you so much!!
