Hey family!
I hope everything is going really good back in Zion. ( sorry Rashelle) ha ha. well life is great here in CA. things are going really good. I am still here in Vallejo. I am either going to be here for another. Well things are going really good for Elder Phipps and myself. we are working hard and doing our best to find new people that want the gospel. ha ha. The sun is shining and people are out walking so we contact like crazy! which is super good! Can you believe that I have been out for 4 1/2 months? so crazy how fast time goes. It really feels like I just started. I was reading some of my old journal entries a couple days ago, I was such a dork when i first started. ha ha. well i still am but its funny how much I have changed in the last 4 months. we had a zone conference this past week which was fun. but President Bunker told us its not the mission that changed us, its Christ that changes us, The mission just sets us up to be changed. That was really cool and it also make me notice the Lords hand more in my work. Its great.
we are getting really close to baptizing some more people. we should have some more baptisms here in the next couple weeks. I hope anyway. Some of our investigators are really making some good progress. i am so glad that they are! I love seeing the Gospel change the lives of people. its the best!
well I don't really know what all to say. nothing big is happening here in Vallejo right now. Except the fireworks last week, LAME!!! they were seriously the worst fireworks I have seen in my life. ha ha. Besides that, not much has changed. well, I love you all tons. keep being awesome and safe and keep doing what the Lord wants us to do. 2 Nephi 1 tells us blessings if we do what is right :) read that this morning. well,
keep it real
