Week #12 - Salton City - San Bernardino, CA Mission

Hey everyone!

Well this week has been a difficult,  but wonderful week. What was difficult is that this last Wednesday we had six appointments and all of them fell through except for one. This really surprised us because many of the people we had appointments with usually kept their appointments. We ended up knocking on a lot of doors.

The good news is that this week we met an hermana who is just awesome. We asked a member for references and she told us to visit her neighbors. We started to knock on the door of one her neighbors and then an hermana came up behind us and asked who we were. It turned out to be that she had talked to sister missionaries before, but then moved. She brought out an old pamphlet of the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We set up a return appointment and then taught her the next day. It was awesome! She readily accepted the restoration and the invitation to read the Book of Mormon. She said she had seen the Book of Mormon and had always wanted to read it. We then invited her to a stake activity the next day and she came! She also attended church last Sunday! I'm so excited to meet with her later this week.

I also had a fun preparation day. We went bowling with some of the Elders. It was kind of weird because it was next door to a casino and there was a big party with beer in the lanes next to us, however it was fun to be together as a group.

See ya guys next week!
