Hey Family how are you all doing? I am doing really good. I had another great week here in Vallejo. Elder Ratuwara and I are getting down to business and working really hard. We are having more success cause we are praying hard for success and we are doing our part and working hard. We found a few more people to teach this week which is really good. we are really working hard and doing everything that we are supposed to to. Vallejo is so ready for the gospel so that makes the work a lot more fun and a lot more rewarding.I would say easy but its not easy at all. Mission work is so tough but I love it. The days are really long but the weeks are just going by super fast! ha ha Elder Ratuwara and I were guided by the spirit to 5 more people preparing them selves to enter the waters of baptism. we are having a service on Saturday and 5 people are getting baptized! I am so excited for them! one of the guys asked me to baptize him because I am from Utah. I think that's pretty funny. we will see how it turns out though. this week was pretty eventful. it has been really crazy because we were on bike. we got honked at a lot and yelled at a lot. its kinda tough because most of the time the words that are being said are not nice words... some people just don't like the Mormons for some reason. ha ha but its OK I guess, I work hard and I love the lord and just in gore all the other stuff that happens and I just keep doing what the lord wants me to do :) but being on bike does have some positives, my leg muscles are huge now cause of how many steep hills are here ha ha and also I got to talk to some really cool people that I would have just passed by if i was in a car. so that's always a good thing. we picked up some new investigators from being out on bike. It was really nice. I loved it. Ratuwara and I decided that we are going to bike a lot more now cause we need to work out our legs and also so we can contact a lot of people. ha ha. our goal is to baptize 8 people this month, we have 5 with a date so we just gotta find 3 more people and I know that we will cause the lord will help us a ton. We are having zone conference this week. I have heard a lot of good things about zone conference here in the mission. President Bunker is super awesome and really throws it down. I am super stoked for it. I will let you know how it goes next week. I hate it when I had to so much to write than I start typing and my mind goes blank... ah this is not good. well I guess that I will just have to start writing stuff down that I want to say to you guys. I will take more pictures and put them on the computer every once in a while so you are not having to wait till I send a memory card ha ha. but anyway I don't know what else to say right now other than I love you very much and I can't wait to talk to you guys on Sunday. have a good week. pray always and read your scriptures. Its good for you :) love you all very much!
