This week a lot happened! And we got to meet a bunch more of our members in our ward! Like the relief society president (she's a real go getter,)<- Seinfeld reference not even mad, she really likes the missionaries and is willing to do anything for us!First we did temple service and we just cleaned the patron apartments behind the temple, it was nice to do something for a change!
Then we had Efren our investigator from Santa Fe Springs get baptized! So happy for him, when he came out of the water he just stood there, it was something so powerful to see because you could see he knew he was clean. We had to speak and it turns out I said a some things wrong in Spanish. Not even embarrassed.
It also rained super hard on Friday and we had to go out and work.. we knocked on a door and it was a Muslim family from Pakistan! They invited us in and gave us food and we talked for about an hour comparing our religions! We didn't really get anywhere with them but it was cool to me to learn about that religion! I just invited them to open up a Pakistani restaurant (sorry for yet another Seinfeld reference.) jk jk but yeah we just worked in the rain and got soaked while doing it! It absolutely sucked but we know we will receive blessing for it!
Also our area got bigger so we cover the beach! Nothing too great we have a narrow strip of neighborhood in between LAX and the chevron oil refinery but none then less tenemos la playa.
Funny convocation we had this week. We were talking with this old guy out in his front yard and we were talking to him about repentance and he goes on to tell us about how some guy jumped him while he was walking the street and as this guy is coming in for a second punch, the old guy whips out a 6' knife and slashes the guy! He then says proudly yeah I'm still on probation. What a guy.
Besides that I have something spiritual to share a chapter I read this week was when Jesus and his apostles were out at sea and there came a storm, one of the apostles went and woke Jesus up and said we are about to perish please help us! Jesus told him there is no need to have fear because I am on your side. This just really made me think, in our lives we have storms our trials that can be scary and make us have fear, but there is no need to worry because we have Jesus on our side to calm the storm or give us the means to battle through the storm with faith! I love this scripture and I have been applying it to my life! Matthew 8.
Have a good week!
Peace and blessings
