Ya I got the package mom, thanks!!! My companion loved the
bookmark. We have a car but we are only allowed to use it in the
evenings after dinner and on Mondays and Sundays. All other times we have to
walk or bike.(We asked if she could take an investigator to the BYU/Long Beach State women's soccer game next Saturday) I wish that we could go to a game but I'm pretty sure that its
not allowed. Also we aren't allowed to go out of our area and Long beach is too
far from where I am. This week we gave our investigator Viv a church tour and
committed her to baptism! (oct 12) she seemed a little unsure because she has
been atheist her whole life so this will be a big change but she said that if
she gets a testimony she will get baptized! So we are going to keep teaching
and working with her. We also had a guy we talked to on the street show up to church!!
Hopefully he lives in our area because we still don't have his address. Last
monday we had a zone activity instead of basketball because our zone leaders
wanted to do something to get everyone involved. So my comp and I were in
charge and so we played signs and do you love your neighbor. It was so much
fun!!! We are out eldered in our zone (4 sisters 14 elders) so it was fun to
have an activity to get to know everyone better which wasn't basketball. Also
we visited a recent convert that sister white baptized 6 months ago. He was
homeless and really discouraged about life and everything when they found him.
They taught the lessons and he came to church and ever since he has been a
member his life has completely turned around. He has a job and is a really
strong member. Its always great to hear stories of how the gospel changes
lives. Other than that there isn't a ton of new things happening, just trying
to find people to teach and to visit less actives.
Love you!!
