It is so nice to open the mail box and see my name! hehe. Thank you for all who have sent me mail and email these past years! It is so nice to get such things :-)</div>

This week was full of fun things! We had a Christmas program up by the temple where we heard talks and music that absolutely brought the Spirit. After that we had a white elephant gift exchange which was fun too!</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
During all the fun stuff this week we have also been trying to visit a few less actives and some families who only have one or two members in the family. We have been sharing the Christmas videos that are located on Mormon.org. We were referred to a less active member last Sunday and so we decided to go by and visit them. But for this visit we shared 2 Ne 32:8-9 which talks about prayer. This then led us to have a good discussion - especially about the modern distractions that we have. </div>

Hope everyone had a good Christmas! We got to Skype our families that we only get to email once a week and Skype twice a year. We went to the James family - members from our congregation that we serve in. It was a lot of fun and it was very nice to see my brother who is currently now also serving a mission. After that we played Phase 10, Uno and Monopoly with them. (It was our Preparation day - a new rule in our mission). Then we had dinner with the Baker family and we had some cool conversations about dreams and other things that are spiritual. Was a fun day!</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
A few weeks ago our mission was inspired to make a goal of 400 baptism in the year 2016! Each one of us - whether we will be here or not - have been asked to sacrifice something. We will not reach the goal if we do not sacrifice something and if we are not humble. But the goal is heaven sent and we can achieve this! I have been pondering and praying about what I can sacrifice - I came up with something but have then had doubts if it is good enough. Then in church we watched a Mormon message which was related to the lesson - but it totally confirmed to me that I should move forward with what I want to sacrifice which is to give service whenever I am asked to help - no matter what, how comfortable I may be or how lazy. I feel this will help me see the real picture of what life is about.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I know that when we help others that we are also helped. My whole mission I have loved giving service to those around me - not only does it help them but it gives me more physical strength and makes me happy.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
As I have served my mission I have been able to have a front row seat and see how the gospel completely changes lives. You see these people - and after they live the gospel you can see the light in them. I have enjoyed teaching people about the gospel, it is a neat experience to study for them each morning for a few hours and then being able to sit down with them to teach them. During those lessons I feel the spirit confirming the truth not only to them, but also to me.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
It is clear to me that God lives and that he loves all of us. I have been able to feel part of that love as I have served others. We all make mistakes in life - it is scripture - Romans 3:23, but I know that Jesus Has suffered for all of us and that because of Him we can find hope and peace in this life and we can live again with our loved ones if we and they will just follow Him. Isn't that his invitation anyway?</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Alright! 8 minutes to write this! (yep that is why I haven't replied to many peoples' emails - sorry!) We get to Skype this next week! Should be a lot of fun!</span><br />

So guess what!? We went up to the temple with the Sierra family, who joined the church not too long ago. We watched a live nativity play and as we were standing there Tracy and Philip saw me (I taught Tracy in my last ward and missed her baptism by a week) So it was super cool to see them! We talked for a little while and it was just so much fun catching up! Then we went to the visitor center on the same ground and heard a guy sing - it was excellent! Took some pictures and then they left... But on our way to meet them in the beginning we ran into some Cambodian members from one of my last wards! They invited us to their party that they were having right there, so that is where we went after the Sierra family left. Guess who I see there? Not only the Cambodian Elders who I have been on exchanges with in the past, but Elder Yu was also there (I was his companion for 6 weeks!) It was so cool to see all these missionaries and so many friends from the branch! Fantastic!</div>

While we were at the Samaritan house, putting cans of food into bags, our phone broke! This is very interesting as it is the only way we can communicate since we don't have computers or anything else. So for a few hours we were not reachable. But luckily for us some other missionaries came to service and we used their phone to call the elder who is in charge of the phones. We went all the way to Oakland (50 minute drive) to try to fix it. Nothing worked and so we decided to send a few emails and call a few people. We had to call a guy in Salt Lake City, but because of the time difference we could only leave a voice message. It felt so weird being completely disconnected from the world - well we are already but this was even more so! The next day we went back and then we were given a replacement phone. But because our other phone didn't turn on we now have to rebuild our contact list! So it is fun figuring out this new phone and we got it to say, "New message from [name of contact]"! It is super cool!</div>

We have been going through a list of members that we have been asked to visit. Some people have moved but others are there and some are members that have just started coming back! It is awesome to see!</div>

On Friday one of the seventy came, Elder Lawrence came and talked to us. We were seated at 8:30AM and then we didn't leave until about 5:00PM! It was super cool! We talked about the House of Israel and how we are helping the gather those people. We also talked a lot about how we can be better missionaries along with a question and answer with his wife while every missionary companionship was interviews by him! Amazing!</div>

It is so nice to be able to talk about the basics of the gospel because they are the most important to our salvation. The gospel is so basic that a child can understand it but so complex that it will take an eternity to completely understand it.</div>

So this week was good! On Friday we sat down and planned the whole day long pretty much. We have a boundary that we stay in and missionaries in the past have divided it into 9 sections. We keep a book full of records. We decided to go through this book of records - our Area Book - and decided to call every single person who had given us their phone number to see if they are still interested in the gospel. We called over 50 people within a few hours! Many of which did not work - however we did get a phone call back and we set up an appointment.... The bad thing is - we have no idea who this person is! We tried to match his phone number with our records but could not find it at all! We even looked through our directory and skimmed over the 900+ phone numbers in that. ..(Did that a few times) ... We still haven't been able to figure out who this person is and I guess we will find out next week! While I called, Elder Gardner used his GPS to figure out which areas some people lived in so that we can plan so much more effectively.</div>

We tried to contact as many potential investigators (People who seemed interested in learning more about the gospel) on Saturday. We got one return appointment! We actually knocked on over 30 doors on Saturday! (Many not home) We went to one person's home and found out that he had moved, but his mother used to be a member and so we are now teaching her and she may be coming back to church again! :-)</div>

Well I love God and I know this is what He wants me to do right now. There is nothing else better than this. I know this gospel brings blessings and it is very logical. Even though many have mis-information about the Church I know that there is no way that one man could set this up. There is no logical explaining for it - apart from that he was chosen and that is how Jesus chose to restore His church that He had anciently set up.</div>

My goodness! It is cold! Luckily I found this nice Colombia Jacket here in this apartment to keep me warm and still have my scarf that I was given last Christmas from some members. It is great to be a missionary as you don't have to worry about anything - only finding, teaching and baptizing people.</div>

We had a great day on Thanksgiving! Had two dinner appointments and that was great to eat so much and then relax - as now holidays are treated as special preparation days - meaning we can relax and email. </div>

We have visited a lot of less active members - but not many people were home.</div>

Well something cool that happened this week was that I met Robert! He was a missionary who taught and baptized my aunty Susan! Because of that my mother was introduced to the gospel, which is part of the reason why I am a member and serving my mission! I heard that there was a calculation made that over 25 people are now members of the church from that one baptism. But I think it may be more than that. He took us to this really nice restaurant - like a lot of members do hehe. it was so neat to meet him and to get to know him more - thousands of miles away and a different continent from the original baptism place and many years later!</div>

Oh this is TIWI (the white box). When you speed it talks to you and tells you to "Check your speed." And sometimes when you drive crazy like accelerate too much it will tell you "Aggressive driving" or if you don't have your seatbelt on it will say "Check your seatbelt" haha. Anyway if you get too many of those aggressive driving and so forth then you will lose your driving privilege. Unfortunately, my license ran out of my wallet and is now in its resting place somewhere. </div>

I love serving and it is stressfull, but it is worth it and such a privilege. This has been a great two years so far! I have learnt a lot and especially about my weaknesses but also I have learnt how to use those to gain strengths in other areas - it has been hard and I have a long road ahead of me to become better each day. But I know it is only through Christ that we can do that. I know that our Father in Heaven cares for all of us deeply - more than we can comprehend.</div>

Let me rewind to the beginning of last week. Monday evening had a great lesson with Tracy, who is now a member as she was baptized and then confirmed the next day to receive the <a href="https://discover.mormon.org/en-us/topics/holy-ghost/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Holy Ghost</a>! Too bad I was not able to see her baptism because I left to this area on Tuesday morning!<br />

We are working a lot to bring less active members back to church and thus far we may have found a few who will come back :-) We have a ward directory, a car, and a GPS. That is all missionaries need and since we cover like 3 cities and have over 900 members in this ward the missionaries in the past divided the area up into 9 sections. So we look and go to an area like area 5 and then we look at the directory and see who else lives in that same area and then we travel there. We knocked on Sharins door like 5 times in the night time - just as we were about to walk away she opened the door and after a few minutes talking invited her to come to church to which she said that she has been thinking about that for a few weeks now. So we will call her and see if we can go and help her return.</div>

Even though change is difficult at times I do know that this is the Lord work and I see his Hand in the work everyday and in all the details. I honestly feel a little bit of His love for all of us as we go out and try to bring people into this fold - not to increase our numbers - but to share what we know and add to what they already know to be true. I know that this is Christ's church and that he used Joseph Smith to restore it. I know that if we follow God's commandments that we will feel closer to Him and feel peace and joy in our lives. If we follow Him we will be happy.</div>

This week was pretty good. On Saturday I was filled with a lot of joy because Tina, who I taught in the beginning of my mission went though the temple for her first time! There I saw a few people from San Ramon 2nd ward which was extremely nice to talk to them again. </div>

On Tuesdays we go with the High Priests to visit those members who are now less active. We had a successful night and were able to visit 4 people that evening. It is a lot more effective to go on splits with members as we can visit more people and I noticed that people are more open to letting you in if they know the other person. </div>

Tracy is doing awesome! She will be baptized this Saturday! Last week we went over to sister Jackman's home where her boyfriend, who is also called Tracy, was there. She asked us for two copies of the Book of Mormon and she said that she would make us pumpkin pie - so we came and made the transaction :-). We now have two pumpkin pies in the fridge with whipped cream :-). But I won't see any of this food anymore, nor will I see Tracy be baptized. </div>

Even though I know I am not allowed to come back for a few hours to see Tracy's baptism I know it is important to listen to our inspired leaders - even if it doesn't make sense to us. If we obey then we are blessed. "There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated— And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." (Doctrine and Covenants </div>

130:20-31.) <span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I know that is true by experience and seeing it in action. And God does not lie. In the name of Jesus Christ amen. </span><br />

We were able to go to the temple this week and it was a neat experience. In the Temple we can seal up blessings for those who have passed on to the other side. After that we went over to the mission office and we played a few games, and BBQ. We were asked to set up the volleyball net and we tried our best... </div>

We are working with the ward to start family mission plans. This is where the family decides what goals and actions they want to take to further their missionary work and their own conversion. We are also going to go out on splits with some of our members on Tuesdays from now on to visit members who are not as active and who may like a a visit and a spiritual boost - which would come fully if they came to church. I love church! I feel a lot of happiness when I go to church and being able to learn more about Christ. On my mission a lot of people ask why they need to go to a organized church - I read a talk that answers that. Here it is:</div>

I know that the gospel has been restored to this earth and what a blessing it is! How would it feel like if the church was not restored, if there was no light or revealed truth today? I know that we have living prophet today and that God called him. I know that God has a plan for us and that He loves each of us. </div>

Well it hasn't rained here that much at all so since it it did rain today I decided to put it as a title for this blog. Also California is going trough a pretty bad drought. </div>

On Monday we had a lot of fun by playing volleyball as a district - it was a lot of fun and the ball went over this fence a few times so I had to hop it to get it back! Afterwards we went to Quickly (a Chines store). </div>

Well, we worked hard and went on splits with some members which was interesting. (Splits is when the missionaries split up with a member each.) Usually when you go to teach a lesson your companion and you both know exactly what is supposed to be said - but since members usually don't know the order in which a lesson is taught it makes the missionary speak a lot more. I found it fun - but also a lot more pressure is on me then. So instead of me doing a lot of talking I asked the member some good questions which then provided him the opportunity to testify and so forth. </div>

In church we showed members how they can invite their friends to church as many people are either scared that they might loose friends, or they may be shy, or they may not know how to invite. Our Ward Mission Leader took charge on the training and he asked us to do a little role play in front of everyone which people seemed to like. We will be going around the active members homes and do set some goals with them to see what they can do. </div>

Tracy is doing swell and she is progressing very well she has come to church every week so far!</div>

We taught Ron but he has a lot of doubts. He knows that he needs to read the Book Of Mormon and pray about it to gain a testimony but he is having a difficult time doing that so far, but he is moving forward. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
Also, we met with another guy this week who used to investigate the church. We learned that he was on home arrest, and the member that was with me shared his experience about how the church saved him. </div>

When we taught Rosemary one of her extended family was there who had investigated the church before and he had a lot of questions. </div>

We also had a trunk or treat here and that was sweet! We were the judges along with another member and it was super difficult to pick 3 winners. For Halloween we had to do a deep clean and it took us like 5 total hours. But now our apartment is super clean and it is nice to be in.</div>

Hello! </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
This week has been awesome! We have been working hard over the last little bit and the Lord has blessed us with two more people who we can share the this knowledge with. It has been amazing to see how one changes over just a week! </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
Our first new investigator is Tracy! Her boyfriend that she has been dating for a couple years now has been a member, and when they first started to date she would always challenge him and God. But then she decided to come to church, but what got her really interested was the <a href="https://www.lds.org/manual/the-restoration?lang=eng" style="color: #0068cf; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;" target="_blank">pamphlet</a> of the Restoration! We met her at church and set up our first meeting for Wednesday. When we got there she was super excited! We had a really good lesson! Before the lesson she had already read 22 chapters of the Book of Mormon and that she had read most of the pamphlets we teach about! We also invited her to be baptized which she was in tears of joy about! She will be getting baptized on November 21st!</div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
We tried to meet her the next day, but, then she got a flat tire - as often happens, things go wrong when people investigate the church - but, why? Satan doesn't want people to find the full truth - he wants us to be miserable like himself. But, then we met on Friday and had a great lesson. We also went to the Visitor center by the temple and watched "Meet The Mormons" and had lunch with her and her boyfriend Philip. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
In the past, Philip has not been able to come to church due to work, but now as he has tried to come to church he has been able to show his faith. His work just promoted him and, so, he no longer needs to work on Sundays!</div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
The last couple weeks as we have met with couples and other such people it is great to see that as we teach them about the gospel that they get closer and closer, and stronger and stronger and their love goes deeper and deeper for each other. THIS is what God wants for us - what makes us happy? Most people would say their family! God wants us to be happy and thus he has provided the plan for us to do so - which we call the Gospel. It is by following these instructions that we can gain everlasting happiness by being able to be married for all eternity and time in the temple. There is no other authority on this earth that can do that! I testify that this power is back on earth - and I see it a lot. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

Our second new investigator is Rosemary. She is a friend of our recent convert. Our recent convert called us and then we went over soon after. Rosemary's mother has lung disease and does not have too long to live. But it is through the gospel that we can know the truth of what happens to us after we die. She wants to teach her children what is correct instead of what she thinks about God. After the lesson, a whole bunch of people came in and it was wonderful for her to be surrounded by so much love. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
I know that Heavenly Father loves each of us. He knows all the intricate details in our lives. I know that if we put God first all else will fall in place. I also know that this Gospel is intended to bless us as families and individuals and I see it all the time.</div>

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
This week went by super fast!</div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
We don't have any quotas we need to reach as missionaries, we just need to be obedient to missionary rules. Missionaries agree to this when they sign up for missionary work. Our missionary leaders - other missionaries - help us in this work by us being accountable to them and the Lord. So why would an 18 year old go on a mission? What keeps us here and why is it at such a young age? </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
Well I don't have all the answers but I feel that a mission is super important. Some might say - why go in your prime years of life when you could be dating, going to school, making money, progressing in life!? I feel that my mission thus far has blessed my life immensely! Not only do I have a strong testimony of the Savoir and the Gospel, but I am far more prepared to serve those around me and I have gained so many skills that will open up opportunities. Well I could go on to say much, much more, but for now this will suffice as I would like to share what happened this week with you. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
Service: We now do two service projects here every week. One of which is where we give food to people who come in. The other one we help in a kitchen - we dice onions and cut up celery and stuff - then we bring food out to the old people sitting outside - it is a lot of fun! </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
We are teaching Heidi - she is one of our new investigators! She is going to another church right now, but she is searching for truth. We taught her about prayer. I know that when we pray to Heavenly Father with faith and real intent then He will answer in His own timetable. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
On Sunday I introduced myself to the ward and bore my testimony. We also went to a fireside, much like Why I Believe, but about people who were once less active in their lives! It was so cool! One that really stood out to me was when one man was less active, and his daughter started to have a very bad reaction to some mosquito bite. One of his other children pleaded that he give a priesthood blessing. He had that authority, but he had no power as he wasn't living the gospel as he should have been. He tried but nothing worked. He then left the room and broke down crying because he had no power. He then knew he needed to change his life. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
We also attended a dinner for the High Priests! It was good getting to know the members more. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
For those who don't know. My mother has been diagnosed with cancer in the lungs about a month ago or so but she is doing a lot better now! We don't know how long she will live, but I have faith to continue my mission and that we all have trials to go through in our lives. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
I also wanted to say thank you to all those who are helping my family! It is such a blessing being out here knowing that my mother is taken care of. Thank you Alnwick branch for sending those flowers - that means a lot and to see such love is moving. Thank you for everyone who has been providing meals for my family because otherwise they would be stuck with my dads cooking haha jokes. There are so many who have been praying and that touches me to see that there are good people in the world who care so much! But I know that Heavenly Father is in control and if He wanted he could take this away in a second. </div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.3px;">
I know that Heavenly Father loves us so much, it is so evident to me as I have served my mission thus far. I know that the gospel brings happiness. I love being a missionary and it fills my soul with joy - especially when I see others accept this message. </div>

October 12th, 2015<br />
<br />
So I am in Hayward 4th now and it is weird being back. But here are some things that happened this week. We ran into a Spanish member who is less active and he is planning on coming back to church! It is so sweet that the Lord puts people in our path, or us in theirs, and miracles happen! </div>

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">
We cycle a lot here and it keeps us fit! There is a lot of work we can do here so it is fun! My companion and I are working hard and at least twice a week we have a member who we go with to visit less active members. Just as Jesus went after the one lost sheep and left the ninety and nine we try to do the same.</div>

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">
The members here are very diverse. We have Tongans, Fijians, white people, and others here. So we get fed decently when we have dinners. </div>

We visited Ron this week. He has been investigating for a few weeks now but is not willing to pray - which is not good, because it is only through prayer that we can know of spiritual truths. I know for my self that Heavenly Father does answer prayers. But He answers in His own time. </div>

On Sunday I saw a lot of people whom I know! In the morning we had stake conference where I was able to catch up with a few people from the Hayward 1st ward! It was so wonderful to speak to them and to see how they are doing :-) Our stake president gave us all a few challenges, one of them is to give one card about the Book Of Mormon out to a friend or someone before the next stake conference. We as missionaries get to follow up with our members to help them. </div>

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">
We went to Why I Believe this week. One of the people who spoke talked about how the Book Of Mormon is true and how it changed his life. He spoke about how he was not a good person at all, but he changed around because of this book! Another man said that he was very stubborn. But, then, for some reason he said he didn't know if this was Christ's church or not and he started taking the lessons. But for him to actually say that he might be wrong was a big change for him - even when he was young he said he didn't like french fries, and for 6 years he said the same because he didn't want to say that he was wrong. <span style="font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">Our two recent converts spoke from Hayward 4th! Lyana and Clare also spoke! It was neat to hear their testimonies. </span></div>

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">
It was super nice to be able to catch up with people whom I have served and I look forward to continue to keep up with them after my mission as all the people who I have met on my mission mean a lot to me. </div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">I, for sure, know this is the fullness of the Gospel! It is so wonderful to see people join, to see how much more joy they have in life. To see that they are reaching so much more potential, and why? Because they took a leap of faith! I know that God loves all of us, even though it seems like so many suffer in this world, and they do, doesn't mean that God doesn't love them, it means that we don't have a full understanding of all things, But He does and we can trust him. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. </span></span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” - </span></span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 18.176px;">Proverbs 3:5–6</span></div>

I am leaving to Hayward 4th, making this my shortest area of only 9 weeks! We did a few service projects this week. On Thursday we helped Salvation Army with Christmas signups. We had to make sure that the people had photo ID and all these documents to verify themselves and such, but that was not the hard part, the difficult part was that a lot of them spoke Spanish and a few only spoke Spanish... I had no idea how to help lol. </div>

I really liked a lot of things from General Conference but one thing I want to apply from the prayer that was said in one of the sessions was to "Enjoy to the End" so that is what I will be doing these next 12 weeks! </div>

Went on exchanges - Elder Hibbert is super tall and this is what happened to my bike! I was with Elder Toleman in the Cambodian 10th branch. We did a lot of work and we even taught Savanna who the elders hadn't seen for a while. We answered a few of her questions and we also visited a few others. </div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 21.3px;">I am so glad that I am out here to share such a powerful message with the people here. I love teaching our brothers and sisters because they become so much more happier and I can feel the spirit as we meet. I love the feelings of the spirit, In the bible it says this about the feelings of the spirit "</span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: normal;">22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,</span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: normal;"> 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." As I serve I feel this, It is the spirit who guides us in the Work. Why because this is Gods work. If it wasn't, missionaries would have messed it up a long time ago. </span></div>

This week has been full of service projects. Tuesday morning we went to the Bishop's Storehouse (food for those in need) and we helped out. We will do the same this week. It was a lot of fun moving boxes from one pallet to the next and such! It was very interesting to hear that the church owns so much land which produces all the food - but that the excess food is then sold at normal market prices and that money made tax is paid on - as the food donated to the bishops store house is a donation so no need for tax. We also did some service for a member's neighbor who was so surprised that we would help them for free - and we were happy to do so. On Friday we had a zone service project at a park. We moved a pile of mulch into wheelbarrows and then the sisters spread it out. It was pretty hot but it was a lot of fun! We had about 4 or 5 elders fill up the wheelbarrows in less than 5 seconds! Then we removed some invasive grass. A lot of fun! The next day we helped brother Magleby move a lot of stuff out of his shed! They, then, found out it was my birthday! </div>

On my birthday, Elder Weaver blew up a lot of balloons which I was surprised of, and then the Maglebys later took us to Cold Stone after having fed us two pizzas! After that, the Hanratty family took us to Carl's Jr. - and I was super full! Elder Weaver's friend sent him a package with a cup cake in for me! I received a few more things and had a great day! </div>

We are teaching someone new! Her name is Jasmine - she is married to a member who hasn't been to church for a while, but a few weeks ago, our bishop received a phone call letting him know that she would be coming to church. A couple weeks later her husband is letting her learn about the church. Right now she is just learning, but if one follows the cooking guidelines (Read the Book of Mormon, pray with a sincere heart, and go to church) then the brownies will come out perfect. But, until then, we are teaching her the doctrines of Christ. We also had a lesson with her brother Bittle - we watched half of "Meet The Mormons" and, as we watched it, I could feel the spirit - it is such a powerful movie that is so worth watching over and over. There are not many movies which invite the spirit these days. </div>

We did a lot of door to door knocking and it took us, like, 2 or 3 hours to tract one circle. I think it was the most interesting street that I have ever been on while in the mission: running into a few members who then gave us referrals; meeting a woman again who then got our number so we can come back to help her move all her furniture in a few weeks as they will remodel the home. We met a few interesting people too. We went back to one house where a son said that he would come to church and didn't come, so this time we met the dad who was very willing to let us come in. He proceeded to tell us about his family history for the next 5-10 minutes and how his ancestors were Mormon and how the members helped him out when his mother passed away. We got a return appointment for this week so the whole family can hear our unique message, </div>

I love this church! It brings me so much joy and happiness. I love sharing the gospel. We are at war with the devil and his little fallen angles - why wouldn't I want to share the Light I have been blessed with to others? The gospel - the teaching of Jesus Christ - has helped me so much and I know it is made for us so that we can return to live with God again. The only way we can do that is through Christ. His Grace and Mercy that he gives us show us how much He loves us and wants us to return to live in His presence again - but only through following Him can we do that. He has invited us to Follow Him, "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps" 1 Peter 2:21. I know that if we follow him to our best abilities, repenting of our sins that we "will in no wise cast out." <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/john/6.37?lang=eng#36" style="color: #0068cf; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;" target="_blank">John 6:37</a> In the Name of Jesus Christ Amen, </div>

PS. What if God called another Prophet today? We believe God has called prophets in these times again, my invitation to you is to listen to him this weekend. <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/viewing-times-and-options?lang=eng" style="color: #0068cf; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/general-conference/viewing-times-and-options?lang=eng</a> </div>

This has been interesting. We haven't been able to meet with that many investigators this week so we tracted a lot (Knocking door to door.) Due to that, though, we have seen a lot of blessing! There have been two families that some of the members have been in contact with. One family the wife is the member and soon we will be meeting with her and the husband is okay with it. The second family the wife is not a member, but has been coming to church recently. She is a baptist, but we will be teaching her the doctrines that we believe in! When we went tracting we met this guy from The Netherlands (Where I lived for 9 years) and I spoke a few words in my native language, but as we started to talk I switched back to English and it sounded SO foreign to me! Then I felt bad because maybe I was supposed to have the whole conversation in dutch as it did sound so foreign to me. </div>

The world is small in the church! We were driving our bikes home one late night after teaching some members and as we drove past a hotel a group of people said "Elders!" So we talked to them and found out that there were three sibling there with their spouses as their mother had died and they were there to see the grave and such. We talked and found out that the eldest sibling was a bishop at BYU and that he had just met out last companion, Elder Marriott, and he is his bishop there! Then the next day we arrived a few minutes early at a hot dog place where a member was meeting us and as we waited these two people said "Elders--have you ate yet?!" and, so, we talked to them also. I finally found out that I had met the guy 6 months earlier when I served in Oakland and Elder Weaver had met him also! Elder weaver served in Brentwood where he met him early on in his mission and something more funny is that this guy had also lived in the ward where we are serving in now! </div>

We went on exchanges this week, also. I went back to Oakland 10th Cambodian branch! It was neat to be back and man, the apartment seemed a lot smaller than I had thought hahaha. We went to visit a few less actives who I had also tried in the past--but with no luck then--but this time we had a lot of luck as nearly everyone was home that we tired to visit! We even got a referral from one of the members we visited! Also had a lesson with a guy in Cambodian and that was sweet! Elder Hibart would speak in Cambodian and then he would tell me what he had just finished on so I could also interact and teach (As I couldn't understand any of it haha.) We also had dinner at some members and it was so awesome to see them and also had a few lessons with Pream who now has a baptismal date and also we had a lesson with Sierra and Lyana who are doing great! </div>

I need to run, but I know this church is Christ's church--it is in His name, after all. I know that Christ leads the church--just as he did in Revelation 1:1 - guide His people through revelation - which is communication from God to us. I know that we have a living prophet on this earth who guides the church with Jesus at the Helm of the ship. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. </div>

Hello! </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week was super hot! But we still had a lot of fun. In fact we were outside on those very hot days doing service! It was fun, but I am not used to it being super hot. Elder Weaver is from Las Vegas so he is used to it. We racked up a lot of pine needles and then trimmed back some bushes and also cleaned a swimming pool filter and cleaned the side of another swimming pool. Service is so worth it! Makes me so happy (As it releases endorphin.) </div>

We also taught a seminary class this week and shared the parable of thew lost sheep and then watched a little movie clip about "Reaching out in Love". We were told that there would only be about 8 or so students but then just about we were to start another seminary class walked in so we had like 20 people there which made it a lot more fun! </div>

Who did we teach this week? </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<b>Joan</b>. She is a music teacher and she invited us to see her student do a recital at an retirement home. We showed up after they had begun and was very shocked when she saw us there! It was really cool! and I was surprised at how loud her student can sign! I could never do that! We had a lesson with her also. She always has very good questions and it was funny as she asked about what we can do on the Sabbath day. It was funny as we had practiced this lesson with a member a few days ago and then day after that we taught it to a less active member brother Bittle and then we taught her it a few days after that! So lots of practice! After we answered her question we read the Book Of Mormon as that is the most powerful thing we can do. That is the keystone of our religion. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<b>Meraja. </b>We had a lesson with her and some members were with us. We went over what the church is and how it was restored from former times though the prophet Joseph Smith. The next day we did service for her.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<b>David. </b>We haven't been able to have a lesson with him but we have talked to him a few days this week as we live close by and see him a lot. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<b>Unutoa. </b>This is a family whose father is not a member yet but we taught him a few weeks ago or so. We went over the first lesson - brother Leininger assisted us - and it was a great lesson. Elder Weaver and I asked good questions and bore testimony of the things we know for ourselves to be true. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

This week our mission president called me to inform me of a challenge my mother is having. This was shocking to hear, but I was reminded of a blessing that I received a few years ago that said that we all face life's many challenges. I was also reminded of when I was set apart as a missionary on Dec. 31st 2013. In the blessing it said the following, "You will be able to withstand any home challenges or homesickness knowing you are doing the Lords work." At the time it was interesting to hear "Home challenges" but it all makes sense now. It shows that God is omniscient and He blessed me with that blessing to be able to continue working out here in the field. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I decided to ask God to know if the Book Of Mormon is true and I received my answer as I read the scriptures a couple days later. I was reading in<a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/3-ne/21.10?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"> 3 Nephi 21:10</a> which is when Jesus Christ visits the Americas (Other sheep he has) and he does many marvelous things for the, including healing many sick and much more. But He told them in this verse that a servant (Joseph smith) would be marred because of the unbelievers. Those against the church at that time of Joseph smith thought they could stop the church but killing the prophet, but further on in the verse it says that Gods "wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil". And it is - look the church still is here today and will be until He comes again. How did this answer my question to know if the Book is true? Well it showed me that here is Jesus Christ a thousand years earlier telling us about the future of Joseph smith, and how can Joseph smith who translated this great work know how he would die? He for sure wouldn't have got together with the opposition and ask them to murder him that way - right? But is that just a coincidence that I just read that verse that day? No. So I looked up where this cross reference went to - it led me to <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/135.1-6?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">D&C 135:1-6</a>. In this section it recounts a little how Joseph and his brother Hyrum were marred (which fulfills what Jesus had said). Then in verse 4-5 it tells us that Hyrum was reading the bible which is how God told him through his scripture study in the bile that he would die. This was my answer that it was God was showing me that he was answering my prayer through the scriptures! </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Having this added knowledge on top of me already knowing the Book of Mormon is true is like adding a few more drops of water in a bucket named testimony. But if you were to leave it alone it would dry out due to evaporation. This is why it is important for us to always have a strong testimony of the church and of the doctrines. You always need to be filling it up. What are you doing to fill your bucket? </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
In Mathew 7:11 it says, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" SO when we ask God to know something he will only give that which is good. He won't tell you a lie, He can not do so. SO you can ask Him anything and he will answer you, but in His timeline and not ours.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This morning I was studying in the Scriptures (as we do every morning as missionaries - that's over 600 hours of personal study on my mission! ) I was searching in 3 Nephi 23. Jesus is still with the people here in the Americas at this time and He asks Nephi who had the records (record of Niphites which part of the B.of.M is translated from) to see them. Jesus then asked Nephi why he had not recorded that many saints had risen at the time when Jesus Christ was resurrected and ministered to them. Niphi then remembered and Christ commanded him to record it. As I saw that I asked 2 questions. 1 - How does one forget such a thing and 2 - Why is this recorded for us? It then taught me that it is important to keep a journal of our journey - because otherwise we will forget such sweet experiences. In the beginning of that scripture Jesus commands us to search the words of Isaiah diligently. Never before did I notice the word "Diligent" there. It showed to me the importance of taking our studies seriously and that we need to be diligent - otherwise our bucket will dry out. </div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Last night We went to Why I believe - where people who just joined the church share their conversion story and testimony. It was amazing to hear so many testimonies about how they found the church and how God answered their prayers. One that was super cool was a man who used to be Muslim. He was Muslim first and then Agnostic for many years. He and his friends went to Utah and he asked his friends why everyone was so kind? His friends told him, "because they are Mormon!" So when he returned San Francisco he ran into two missionaries! And the rest is history. These are juts little snippets of what I can remember. Another man was raised Protestant but then he parents protested - later in life he wanted to turn his life around and started to read the bible. After a few years he wanted to join a domination. He checked many out and after a few moths he just didn't feel right about it. His few Mormon friends kept on inviting him and finally one got him to come to a activity - the friend said that it wont be church and there is free food! They said a prayer over the food and ended "In the name is Jesus Christ" He then asked his friend if we believed in Jesus Christ. Of course! He was shocked as he thought we were not followers of Jesus! Which we are. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #134f5c; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I know that the church if true. I also know that God answers prayer and if you pray to him you will also able able to receive light or truth in your life. I know that God is full of love and that he wants each of us to return to Him again. I know we can all do this by following his blue print that He has given us in the scriptures. I know more than I can see the computer screen that this is the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ that has been restored to the earth and I know it is true. I know you too can find out, if you will just follow the blueprint given to us in the word of God. I have found so much happiness as I have lived the Gospel and as I have shared it with others. That is one of the many reasons why I am serving for 2 years. I know that through Jesus Christ we can be cleansed of all our sins and that we can feel peace in our lives again. </div>

PS. The church just came out with this awesome video of kids about helping them to know what to do when they see pornography. Here is the link <a href="https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2015-08-001-what-should-i-do-when-i-see-pornography?category=children/other-videos-friend&lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/media-<wbr></wbr>library/video/2015-08-001-<wbr></wbr>what-should-i-do-when-i-see-<wbr></wbr>pornography?category=children/<wbr></wbr>other-videos-friend&lang=eng</a> </div>

It is awesome! And shows that it is never to early to teach your children about this. </div>

We are getting popular with our bike lights! Every night guarantee someone will say something about them and even a few people have stopped us and asked how we got them! A women freaked out the other night and said "I swear something green just flew past!" LOL. </div>

We did a lot of service this week. One of our investigators neighbor saw the elders and asked if we did service, the elders said that we do and a few weeks later he called us. We have been helping him pull a lot of weeds out of his yard and next week will clean some pipes for his swimming pool. (The Lord uses his servants skills - elder Weaver used to work cleaning swimming pools.) We also helped some members move these rocks and then take out weeds from this in the back garden and then we put that black plastic over it and put the rocks back - that was fun! </div>

We tracket this week for the first time in like 5 weeks and we ran into a lady from The Netherlands so spoke a few words in dutch! Was fun but she was not interested. Later that day I noticed that my skin was hot and sun burnt lol! </div>

We also visited a man who hasn't been to church in a long time. His wife knows the bible very well and says that is the only thing she needs. When we visited him his wife was not there - in fact she in in Hawaii! But we plan going back there!</div>

For the last few hours we have been emailing and I have been switching between writing this and watching some powerful videos about addiction recovery that the church has just released.<br />
<a href="http://www.mormonchannel.org/12steps" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr></wbr>mormonchannel.org/12steps</a> is where you can find them. </div>

I know the church is true and it is evident by the fruits you can see by living the gospel. I know that prayer is real and that God hears them. It is evident to me that this is the gospel that is headed by Christ and that He is in control. I love the Book Of Mormon! By reading the Book Of Mormon you can feel closer to God. I share this message with you because I know it is true. In the Name of Jesus Christ amen. </div>

Elder Marriott finished his mission so now it is Elder Weaver and me in our area. We had a really good day on Tuesday even though in the morning we had to wait for a watch to get fixed for Elder Marriott. We ended up doing normal missionary work, visiting less active members, and non members. We tried to go by a less active member who was not there in the daytime, which happens a lot, but then in the evening we were going by and we decided to try again which was good because she was there and we were able to visit her this past Sunday! She was amazed because she had just broken up with her boyfriend and she said that it wasn't the first time this had happened. The last time she had broken up with her boyfriend the same day the missionaries also came by! And she came to church! </div>

We had a great lesson with Sarah and David. We decided to go over the restoration of the gospel again and we had the lesson at the Daminano home. They asked some really good questions to Sarah and David to which helped David make the decision to go though with everything! We are super happy :-) and they have already seen how the gospel is blessing their lives - it is great!</div>

Well the work is moving forward here and we are having fun trying out best to find people to invite to have happier lives. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet who was called to restore the Church that Christ had set up and I know that because of the evidence I have seen as I have lived the gospel. The Book of Mormon does not take or add from the Bible as it states in the introduction, but just clarifies. And if one will follows it they will be happy. In the name of Jesus Christ amen. </div>

This week was really good! Clare was baptised! It was super good. A lot of people showed up to show her their support! Her family flew in from all over and her cousin baptised her. Our mission president also came! Elder Marriott gave a talk about <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/baptism?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">baptism</a> and elder Weaver talked about the <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/holy-ghost?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Holy Ghost</a>. When she was baptised she had to do it twice because the wording was not exact the first time. We also showed a little video to which I testified that God loves and and answers our prayers, even if we think God isn't listening, He is. </div>

We did a lot of service this week. Helped some members trim some bushes and also helped one of our investigators, Melody, move stuff from storage into her house. Also helped another investigator, Meraya, fix her garage door and also put a new tube on her dryer for the flint. </div>

We have a few investigators still. We just added brother Unutoa as a investigator - his wife is a member but he is not. We had to cut our lesson short with him though because we had another appointment to go to, so we asked if we could come back and teach them the missionary lessons again to which they agreed. We are also teaching Melody who is the mother of one of our members! </div>

Elder Marriott goes home this week, it is the first time that I will be killing an elder! (Missionary slang. When a missionary goes home = die. So it just means that we were his last companions before he went home) Elder Weaver and I are both staying here! The cool thing though is that Elder Hibert is our district leader (He is serving in the Cambodian branch) so who knows, I may be over there once this next transfer, but maybe not - who knows! </div>

I know the Church is true. I know because I feel it and know it more than I can feel the keys on the keyboard. I know the Priesthood authority has been restored because I have felt the power, and with that authority we can baptise people in the name of Jesus Christ and do many other things. I know that God loves and and wants the best for us. I say that in the name of Jesus Christ amen. </div>

We had a special training which helped teach us about how we can better find new people to teach! It was really cool as we were given a pink paper with a sentence on it which we had to act out -For example mine was having headphones in. With that we all went out and tried to talk to other missionaries who were acting out their assignment. This helped us talk to people in every day situations and also helped us relate the conversation to the gospel. </div>

Also went on exchanges this week. Elder Thomas came here with me and Elder Weaver. It was a lot of fun! In the morning elder Marriott's front wheel was flat - which we fixed - and later again went flat as we visited the Peronas! She tried to call her father so she could locate some tools so we could fix the flat tire but there was no answer. She went into the garage and said a prayer which was answered. She came out with a first aid box with all the right tools in it. I don't think she knew that it was exactly what we needed to fix the bike - apart from no glue so we walked home and then got a ride to dinner. </div>

Clare is doing awesome! She will be baptized this Saturday! She even made some cool invitations! <span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">We also visited Ben and Cas who are investigating the church. We had a good lesson with them about what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is and then we invited to commit to come to church - to which they said they would. But then on Sunday morning they had to cancel due to family stuff. They have already accepted the invitation to be baptized but there are always challenges that lie in the way. That is how you know this work is true - why else would Satan be attacking the good? </span></div>

I know the church has the fullness of the gospel, other churches also have parts of the gospel and when truth is taught we are all enlightened. I know this to be the gospel of Jesus Christ and that through Him we find peace, comfort, joy and eternal happiness. I know that because I know the Book Of Mormon is true - how? I invite you to read the introduction to the Book Of Mormon and to act on its message. It is because of the gospel that I have found hope and similar blessings. You too can receive this for yourself - what is holding you back? </div>

Did a lot of fun things this week. We got a phone call asking if we could give a <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/priesthood-blessing?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">priesthood blessing</a> to a women who was in the intensive care. But in order to do so we needed another male to come with us as that is a rule (we need a member of the same sex with us when we go to visit other members of the opposite sex). We got a few phone numbers from the missionaries who serve in that area (as it isn't in our area) Brother Langford picked us up - when we got in the car he asked us what our names were and he said he knew my name from somewhere. So I told him where I had lived and he said yes, "Broomfield!" He has served a mission there with his wife about a year ago. They gave a talk when I gave my farewell talk in my home ward! What a small world! hehe. </div>

We helped a women clean her back garden, I was blowing all the leaves away while my companions fixed one of the lights - they put a new chain on it. We also helped one of our members take this huge piece of tree to the junk! It weighed a ton! But somehow we were able to do it! </div>

Clare and Joan both enjoyed it a lot! In the meeting it was funny because out of the blue they said over the pulpit that we had a new elder and asked if I could come up and introduce myself. Even though I have done that a few times before I still got nervous but once up there I made sure I applied a few tricks that I had learned from my sales classes at LDS Business College which helped a lot. We also went to a fireside, Why I Believe. It was good but we couldn't hear half of it as the sound wasn't working in the back. But I did see Lyana, whose baptism had just happened a few hours before! It is the best to bring other to the waters of baptism and next week she will receive the Holy Spirit. </div>

Sister Sok took us out for lunch the next day and I am always impressed that members always feed the missionaries - especially when it takes them a whole day to prepare the food! </div>

Wednesday was the day to switch! At the mission home we met Elder Eh's new companion - He is super tall! hehe.

When I got to my new area we had a few lessons. We taught a couple named David and Sarah - Sarah's parents actually go to the Cambodian branch so that is interesting. Sarah is a member and her husband David is not - he used to be in the military and I think he will be baptized soon. We also went to a member's house and taught them about something - honestly can't remember what - lol jokes - we taught about service! But then a surprise! I was then told that I would be going on exchanges with Elder Marriott to another area. It was great though as they had a car and it was hot that day - lucky! hehe. </div>

Finally unpacked somewhat a little later and this apartment has a washer and dryer in it! Oh yea! We have also been practicing how to teach the Restoration - which is our first lesson that we teach to people who are interested in learning about the church. If I could advise those going on missions - I would suggest when you get in the field to practice each day! It is so worth it and your testimony still grows! </div>

Well I am having fun here and we are working very hard. We are on bike so I am getting a nice tan. One of the other investigators is called Clare. The missionaries have talked to her a lot and a few weeks ago she invited the elders for dinner and she said that they could come and share a little message after dinner but she would not join the church. But she is now investigating the church and coming to church and she loves it! </div>

I definitely know that this is His church. I know that more and more people are learning about Jesus Christ and I know that through Him we are more happy for all time! I am so glad to be able to be serving under His direction as I know that I have been called by a Prophet of God and I know he has been called of Him. If we follow the Prophet we won't be tossed by every doctrine out there. God is a God of Order and I know that it is through Jesus Christ that we can be saved and that is the only way. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. </div>

I will be leaving and going to Clayton Valley 3rd Ward on Wednesday and I will be in a Trio (Meaning two other missionaries) with Elder Weaver and Elder Marriott - who had served in this branch a little while ago. That means that I will miss Lyana's baptisms on August 9th :-(. It also sucks as I will miss a really cool activity that the branch has on August 8th. </div>

This last week we also set up some service projects which I will miss too - just sorting food for a food bank. This last week we got a referral from some elders who ran into a lady. Her name is Vanda, and is Cambodian. We were told it was a service project so we picked up our member, Peng, and went over there not really knowing what to expect. She flagged us down when we arrived and then asked us to teach her how to speak and write in English... man... I have no idea! </div>

We know that through Jesus Christ we can be healed from physical and spiritual hurt. To me this dream represents her coming and follow Him. But because it takes us about an hour to pick up a member and drive over there we will let some other mission take over after a few more visits. </div>

We had a lot of great food as usual here :-) In one of the pictures - which I took at the end - we just put meat or vegetables in this hot soup thing and let it sit there for a few minutes - then you stick the food in some sauce and it tastes amazing! </div>

We also had a lot more food on Saturday as we celebrated Pioneer Day! Which is when members of the Church (Mormons) traveled over America to get to to the Rocky Mountains and also some who stayed in California. We ate a ton of food! and had fun getting to know more members. Later we went to a birthday party and ate even more food! It was amazing! </div>

On Sunday after church we taught Thia - one of our investigators - he is progressing more and I love how he is trying to change his life! We are helping him a lot and he wants to become a member soon! We showed a few <a href="http://www.mormonchannel.org/watch/series/mormon-messages" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Mormon Messages</a> and also a video about <a href="http://www.mormonchannel.org/watch/series/his-grace/from-gang-member-to-good-man" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">someone</a> from Oakland. It shows how we can change no matter what circumstances we have been brought up in. We also taught Pream and his family on Sunday and set up an appointment to watch "Meet the Mormons" next Sunday.</div>

That was a little of our week! And I would love to close with sharing my testimony with you. Because I know this is the way top eternal happiness and there is none other save it be through Jesus Christ. I know this Church is designed to bring us the most happiness and I know that we can be healed through Jesus Christ. His invitation is simply to follow Him. </div>

This week was good. Elder Dey joined us for a day and a half because he is training a brand new missionary who came in on Wednesday. We finished making our new directory of members in our branch and it is sweet! This new system allows us to simply write notes under each person and is the most up-to-date we have. It is done on a number basis which corresponds to our map that we made. We also use another directory which has members listed alphabetically. </div>

Lyana, our investigator, has a baptismal date set for August 9th! We taught her a few times this week and Peng, a member who is returning to church after 10 years of not attending came with us to those lessons. He was happy that we got let in as sometimes people don't always let us in. (Very usual for missionary work.)</div>

Going to be short. This week we did a lot of service! On exchanges I went to Concord with Elder Baird which was a great day! We spent like 5 hours doing service. First we went to the Salvation Army and organized some food! They were super happy that we helped and talked about us to the next missionaries who came the whole time those missionaries were there haha. After that we went to help a member put up this roof thingy! We used the pool noodles instead of pipe tube since it is cheaper and is more UV protected! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We did more service also, we dug a little and added a plant, next to which we embedded these red slabs of brick. It was a good learning experience! </div>

We are still teaching Lyana and she has a baptismal date for August 9th! She came to a fireside called Why I Believe! It was super good and the spirit was strong. One recent convert stuck out to me. She had wanted to join the church for several years as she had a lot of Mormon friends and wanted to be exactly like them! One night she couldn't sleep and at like 2 in the morning she decided to drive all the way to the temple (an hour drive) and she just parked her car opposite the temple (as it was closed) and she asked if this was the church she should join. She started to cry with emotions strong and she knew this was the way she needed to go. Most of the speakers were about 20 years old, apart from one 55 year old lady. She told us that it is never too late to learn and to change your life! I agree! </div>

I have a strong belief - meaning faith - in Jesus Christ who has suffered our punishment for us - not consequences but punishments. I know that this gospel is designed to bring us closer to Christ and that through following his exact example that we can be saved and live with those we love forever. I say this in the Name of Jesus Christ amen. </div>
