hey everyone ok well this week was good i know this Will be short though. We have dinner at six and we have to go drop off the other elders in their area! I don't know if you all know the saga with Lindsey's emails to me from her mission but i printed them all off and am almost done with her mission and she talks about how much she loves yogurt and granola so last pday i did that and I am converted as well, i really like it its way good! so thanks linds, this week we got a call from a lady in Menifee that had a friend who just got out of a very hard relationship and needed help moving etc. so we went to the place, it turned out to be just outside of our area but we gave her a blessing and the spirit was amazing she has been so scattered brained and the spirit was flowing in comfort towards her, we were in tears because of the comfort that the lord had given her through the blessing! In James when it talks about how if there is any sick or afflicted among you to call the elders of the Church and to have them lay their hands on you and call down a blessing from on high it brings me great comfort that blessings and the blessings of the priesthood exist today and that man can work miracles in the name of Christ. It is one of the greatest blessings in my life and i am grateful it is one of the many truths that were restored! so we helped her move the next day with the elders from her ward we helped her a ton with service and we also on last pday helped the Malone's for 5 hours or so and then helped them throughout the week to finish their remodel of their house before their son got married, it felt like we did more service this last week than anything which is way good but the best is to be with people reading the scriptures and coming to know the gospel of Jesus Christ clearer. Asay only has a couple weeks left but hes not dying off he's still working hard which is good! we are excited for this week we have a bunch of great lessons and have a big training meeting this week so we'll have some elders from different parts of the mission staying with us so we'll have a different companion for a day or so so that's always fun! This is the best part of my life I love it here in riverside so much. I didn't even tell you the reason i have to keep it short is we were headed to come email and then we got to this road and there was a line of literally hundreds of cop cars with their lights on with a chopper over the top and with a van in the middle so we automatically think either the president or some really really legit criminal is in their so me took an alternate route and were going to follow them to see what was going on we took this really random way and we thought we lost them and then i took a turn and boom we were right there, turns out a cop got shot to death last night in a gun fight with a guy from a hit and run and it was like a cop funeral procession... so we had less time to email, but it was pretty exciting! i love you all!
