Week #13 - Salton City - San Bernardino, CA Mission

Well this week has been interesting and I'm not sure where to start. The biggest thing is that we found out transfers this week! I will be moving to a new area called Rancho in the San Bernadino Zone. One of my companions will be leaving to be a zone leader and the other will stay to train a new missionary. This is the first time I've ever trained so we'll see how this goes.

Besides that, we had a pretty good week. We finally had enough miles to go out to Borrego Springs and so we did some contacting. Surprisingly, we found some people interested in hearing our message. We tried proselyting there when I arrived and it wasn't very effective so it was nice to see some fruits from our labors. Hopefully, some of them will become new people to teach soon.

Sadly many people that we started to teach in this area have either stopped keeping their commitments, moved, or haven't responded to our attempts to contact them. However, I have been to touch many people's lives here and believe that I did what the Lord wanted me to do here.

The most special moment that happened this week is that during transfers I was able to find one of the people that we were teaching in Salton City that had moved into the area of my district leader. Luckily, she had sent us her address. She was so surprised when she saw me. She was also very grateful because she had been having a hard time. I believe me that the fact that the missionaries showed up at her door was a sign to her that the Lord was still aware of her no matter were she went. 

Love you guys!
