Hey everyone so i wasnt able to open any of my emails this week becasue my mouse doesnt work, we are emailing at our apointments and there are two computers, ELder Beyeler picked the one that has a working mouse i did not. Ive actually been impressed that Ive gotten to this pint in the email system with only using the keys of the keyboard, lots of trial and error, the tab key is a great feature and you just have to keep trying with the f keys to get new windows and such. So i wrote the mass email first and will get on in a bit on the other computer just to read stuff!
Bianca was baptised this week, it was awesome, the spirit was felt and you could see how happy she was, I was able to be the one to baptise her so that was really special as well, there was a pretty good turnout. Also we had a girl from the singles branch Hayley stayner sing after the ordinance and testimonies and it was really good, she sings country, google her and you might see some stuff shes done, maybe not though who knows, but shes really good! So many talented people all around the world. It was a great night, after that Rio a girl in the singles who we tach with a lot had her big diesel ford break down so we went and helped her till the tow truck driver showed up, she barrell races PRCA and they have a ranch out here so its cool to have some feel of home knowing her. SO that was another small event.
My companion Elder Beyeler (bee-ler) is great, i love him as a brother, he motivats me to work hard, today since there was no school the high school guys that are good that we know came so ball was fun and then one of the kid's families had almost us all over for a bbq at there house and he invited me to come work out with the team on P-days so i might do that im not sure, it would be fun to do the drills and stuff but will see if it works with the responisibilities i have being a missionary and with our apintments and stuff. HE is the Head coach at Murrieta VAlley High School.
We have had so many blessings with people in our lives! the lady Evon that I'm pretty sure we talked about she set agoal for baptism on the 13th of March, shes so excited about the gospel and came to church this last sunday, in the lesson i said, :Evon I have two beautiful grandmothers who I love and who are still alive, but I dont get to see them out here on my mission and wanted to know if you wanted to be an adopted grandmother?" haha she started crying and coouldnt talk for like a minute because she was so choked up and then when she finally could catch her breath she said, "I'll be the best grandma ever!!!!" it was sweet. Not that gma louise and lil are not the best gma's ever, she just doesnt have family and i definetly could use all the help I need. It was a cool experience.
The members down here provide for us thats no doubt! they do so much for us and always are trying to do anything they can for us. It makes being a missionary so much more effective and rewarding. WE are so lucky! i love my mission with all my heart. Its the best secret ever, I try and give a glimpses of what is going on with my lack of descriptive words and lack of info given you dont get a glimpse very good at all. there are miracles that suround me daily, im starting to learn what it mean to be led by the spirit and have had many exeriences that tell me this is wher im supposed to be, President and i were talking this week about how fast itsbeen, (he goes home two weeks before me) and how hard we want to serve till the end. I love it, thanks for all of you who make it possible for me to be here, especially mom and dad!
love you all!!
