My week wasn't too eventful this past week. We only taught 3 lessons, two of them were with active members to just get to know them and such. The other one was with our investigator. The rest of ours was busy with classes, work, and agency just gets in the way!! GAH. But we've received a handful of referrals and potentials and we're trying to get a hold of them.
This email really is going to be short because nothing has happened. The state fasted for rain yesterday. California this summer is going to be in the biggest drought in over 100 years if we don't get more rain soon. If we don't get rain we're going to have to start shipping in water. Farmers are selling their livestock because they can't take care of them because they're lacking water. Crazy right? We woke up to a good rain yesterday though. My first thought was "The church is true!" haha. And our testimony meeting yesterday was really great -- everyone ended up bearing testimony about having patience and enduring trials. How fitting it was for the past few weeks we've had! We're really trying our hardest to help this ward grow and bring people to the gospel.
The visitors' center has been a little slower, too, but everyone says that this is the slower time of the year. This time of the year and when the temple closes for a month and a half in the summer time. But it's still always having miracles all around! The person I've been keeping in contact with over email had to push her baptism back, but she's getting baptized this week for sure! She and her son are going to! I got her phone number from her and talked to her vocally this past week too. It was a little awkward because we didn't have anything to talk about but it was awesome! I'm so excited!!
Did I mention the Cambodian investigator too? If not, she's getting baptized on the 23rd of this month! She came into the VC with the Cambodian elders and long story short, the elders waited for her as we took her around because they didn't have a third male and we committed her to baptism! It was the most amazing experience ever! And luckily I see and talk to the Cambodian elders all the time, so I keep in contact with her through the phone and then ask them how she's doing as well.
And funny side note, of the elders is from North Ogden and the other is from Provo, but originally Korean. I had a quick connection with both of them ha.
Anyway, that's pretty much it. Just praying a lot for rain! It's crazy because it's definitely a sign of the second coming, but we still want to survive!
And ELDER COOK IS COMING THIS FRIDAY AND I GET TO GO TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!! :D
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH. I'm so excited if you can't tell!!!!!!
Ok, well that's about it for me. Like I said, not much has happened besides that.
Well, I love you family. I hope you're well. Stay healthy, eat right, and exercise!! Pray for snow and rain for Utah and California! I hear Utah doesn't have snow either... :(
I love you family so much. I miss you guys. I hate telling people how long I've been out on my mission now because it's already coming around the corner.... :(
Ok, until next week. Love you.
