Un misionero lleno

Day: the coldest one of the week... with a high of 59

Pushup Count: 226 

Buenos días! Well here's the deal... I only remembered to journal twice this week, so we'll see how this email turns out. But things have been good, super busy as always, but good. Highlights:

- Going to guitar center for pday activity was super lit. I got to play a bass again and it was awesome

- Someone on Facebook sent me their number, but when we called it was someone completely different. He was really confused about how we got his number, but he let us share a scripture with him and he kept saying that God must have sent us to him. Super cool  

- We recorded the audio for another music video.... yay  It actually went super smooth cause we prepped like crazy. We ended up building a vocal booth out of chalkboards and blankets and other stuff around the church, and it just looked like a bunch of missionaries building a fort, but it worked pretty well 

- Our mission president decided he wanted to do the baptismal interview for our friend Rosa, so we sat in on that and it was so nerve wracking 

- I went on my fourth bike exchange and all four of our lessons fell through... But a really nice inactive member gave us beans 

- Rosa got baptized on Saturday! 

- We watched some primary kids act out little red riding hood in Spanish at a member meal, it was hilarious and super hard to understand

- Yesterday I was able to confirm Rosa and it was so cool! I was kinda nervous about saying the right words, but everything went super bien and the spirit was strong

- We had a member meal in one of the nicest parts of Bakersfield (the Hermanas area) and it was crazy how big the house was... It's also insane that you can drive 20 minutes and be in the Elders' areas that are super poor

- We taught a lesson with the Zone leaders to their friend who barely speaks English but refuses to take the lessons in Spanish 

- Yesterday it was 70 degrees 

So yeah, pretty good week. Had my first Spanish baptism and it was awesome to help her get there. We've been finding a lot of people lately so hopefully we can help some new people get there too. Love you all, let me know how things are going!

You are a child of God and He loves you!
