¡andale pues!

The wheels are still rolling on the Hemet bus...digo Toyota Tacoma! We have been teaching, preaching, working and just doing what missionaries do. Obviously some ups and downs as missionaries, but seeing our investigators making the decision to be baptized and press forward is giving us strength! 

One of the investigators that we are super pumped up on is Carlos. Carlos was a member referral who is living with a part-member family, and after we taught him the first time, he didn't accept a baptismal date. He did however, watch conference that weekend, read, and pray. Fast forward to this last Thursday, and I'm in a lesson with him with just a member by my side. We were teaching him the Plan of Salvation and almost out of no where, he asks to be baptized and wants to work to the date of May 6th. It was an awesome lesson, guided by the Spirit and he has some of the most sincere desire that I have seen. The Lord has definitely been preparing him to receive this message and everything has started to fall into place for him to make these steps.

We also went back and taught Eduardo Sixtos who we hadn't taught in a while. It was another Plan of Salvation lesson that was centered on doing God's will. Eduardo was able to recognize how important making changes to align our lives to God's will, will bless us. He accepted a baptismal date for May 20th. 

Both of these investigators couldn't make it to church. We had a member set up to pick up Carlos, but he had to go into work last minute. Eduardo didn't make it, but no way we are giving up!

Raquel has been making it to church every Sunday and being able to help her progress to where she is now has been one of the highlights of my mission. Just seeing how much love she has for this Gospel has given me motivation for my time here in Hemet. We feel like we have found people like Raquel who have been divinely prepared to receive us. We know that there are more people who are just waiting for us to talk to them, and that will never stop giving me hope on my mission. 

We went on a hike up in of my favorite places in the mission, Idyllwild!! Some free hair cuts too, so a pretty successful p day so far today!

Just want to leave one of my favorite scriptures from this week. I just finished the Book of Mormon in English, and I'm planning on puro español for the rest of the mission, but something I read this week in Moroni stuck out...
Moroni 9:25
Don't dwell on the negative things around you, but just let Christ rest in your mind forever.

Time to keep on trucking!
