Week 81- August 25

Everything is going great! We are staying Really busy. Because of all the exchanges I have only been with my companion for 3 or 4 days. It is pretty crazy but it is really awesome to get to help all the missionaries. 

Temecula is great! I keep seeing people that I thought I wouldn't see until I came back. I keep running into people on the streets that I talked to when I was here last year and they still remember me, it is pretty weird. 

Friday to Saturday I was Exchanges in my area for the first time. That was quite the experience. It was like baptism by fire. I had no idea what to do or who to visit but the good thing is, is that I knew where I was going. We ended up having a good time and we actually were able to get some good things done. Saturday while we were out visiting people we were walking down that street and there was this man in his garage so we started talking with him and what he was doing. (He was brewing his own beer). It was pretty funny. But we talked with him about the gospel and we were able to share a copy of the Book of Mormon and he said that we could come back and teach him. It was really cool because he had a ton of really good questions, and we were able to answer them. It was a really cool experience because the missionary I was with has only been out about 2 weeks. The other exchanges I was on was in other missionaries areas so It was cool to see how they worked and how their area was going. 

Last night we taught our investigator that is preparing to be baptized on the 15 of September. She is so solid. She says that the gospel and the church bring her hope. It is really cool to teach her because when we invite her to do something she is really excited to do it and she actually does it. She is a nanny for a family that is less active and she is helping the family come back to church.

There is a lot going on in the YSA branch that we cover. We have a few investigators and less actives that we are teaching which is really cool, but there isn't very much going on in the family ward that we cover so we are putting our focus on that for right now to get things up and going. There is a lot of potential here it is just a matter of finding the people who Heavenly Father is preparing. 

Sounds like things are going great back home. Everyone is staying busy which is good. You don't need to worry about the package when you send it you send it so its okay. I can't believe school is already starting. Time is just flying by. 

Thanks for everything!! Love You!!
