First of all I can't beleive it actually snowed! It is like summer here, so in my mind it's like january. the only thing that helps me know it is the fall is that some people put pumpkins outside their houses. California is just another world:)
Well the picture is of me and my new companion. she is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She is from Las Vegas and is so hard working and I can just tell we are going to be great friends! She also is very good at Spanish and helps me alot with pronunciation and also is a great teacher so I have just learned so much this last week!
So we had some cool things happen to us this week!
First, we met this guy on the street and he was just walking pushing a stroller he seemed like he was on his way and wouldn't stop to talk to us so we asked if we could walk and talk. so we just walked and gave him the restoration lesson. We then asked if we could say a prayer to him right there on the busy street. He was very willing and it was just great that he was willing to do it right on the busy street. that was kind of a miracle. We teach when we find and find when we teach:)
Second. We were knocking in this place called las casitas. It is just full of spanish people. We knocked on this door and came to find out that the lady living there was investigating the church in Bakersfield and actually had found the church here and had come on sunday but then she only saw white people which makes sense because we are just in the releif society room. so we are now teaching her. she didn't come on sunday but i have high hopes for her.
Third,. We were once agian knocking in Las casitas. We knocked on this door and a guy answered. He was like I always see you knocking but you never knock on my door. We found out he is actually a less active. we asked him about the Book of Mormon and if he is still reading it. He expressed that it is kind of boring and he just couldn't get into it. We were then like well have you read the part where ammon cuts off mens arms, or when Moroni rips his coat off and is the leader of this giant army and they go fight for there families? He was like I must not have read that part. So we have plans to mark some very exciting parts in the book of Mormon and give them to hiim to read. He was very nice to us and so we are going to go there and try to get him reactivated.
Those are just of the few interesting experiences we have had this week. Sunday was slightly dissappointed because we only had one investigator come to church and it wasn't Roger and the recent converts didn't come. So that was sad but we invited lots of people and they chose not to come. Next week:)
I'm sorry that my email's are getting a little bit shorter but our email time got cut short today!Just know that I love you all so much! The church is so true!
Love
