Week #9 - Salton City - San Bernardino, CA Mission

Hey everyone,

Well this week has been interesting and awesome. It's been awesome because more of the people we've been teaching are progressing. Manuel and Priscilla are doing so well. They are so receptive to Jesus Christ's message and are willing to follow His commandments. They are still going through hard times, but it is amazing to see how God strengthens those who follow him.

Another really cool thing is that we are starting to see the positive effects of the gospel of Jesus Christ in another one of the people we are teaching. She hadn't been reading or attending church, so we were kind of worried about her, but then when we met her this week and she had read the Book of Mormon. She also seemed a lot happier and positive then before. It was a great contact because we were able to help her see how God had been helping her as she has been obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Another miracle we had was a member referral. The member invited her friend to listen to us and we had an amazing contact. Her friend shared that she had blown her tires out twice in Salton City and felt that God wanted her to find something here. She also shared that she was willing to follow whatever knowledge or path God showed her. I am so excited to teach her because she's got a willing heart and an open mind.

Besides those wonderful things, our car's tire popped so we had to go get the leak plugged. It was annoying because we had to drive for about an hour in order to get it fixed. We also knocked an entire block in Borrego and didn't find anyone to teach. We only found a friendly drunk guy who gave us sodas. Despite our lack of success, we felt that God was happy with our success.

Love you guys!
