Hello from sunny (actually it's not sunny out, its overcast.. but as the saying goes)- sunny California!!

   Things are going GREAT... it's been a bit of a roller coaster, a fun and exciting one- and an emotional one too!

   Gilberto officially moved to school at UC-Riverside and he was supposed to start institute today actually! He should be calling us soon to let us know how everything is going and so we can get his address to send missionaries over to him. For our last appointment he met us up at the temple grounds (he hadn't been up there yet). As we were walking along the temple, he couldn't take his eyes off it- he said, "Someday... I'll get married in there". We had a short lesson in the waiting room inside the temple and he was expressing some challenges he's having, apparently his mom is making him still go to mass and a catholic class- he said he just feels like he's lying to himself because he's truly mormon at heart now. He's going to general conference and he's way excited for that, and I'm waay excited for him!

   Cassidy... oh boy, where do I start? Well to be honest, it's a REALLY long story and the story will be at an ok spot to tell next Sunday, so I'll give you the down low next Tuesday! But... keep in your prayers.. oh boy.. please!

   Aaron well.. so he told us over the phone he was just going to go to his grandmas church. But he agreed to meet with us one last time to say good-bye. So we met him Friday night and he was telling us about his Grandmas church and basically we just bore testimony of the one true church of Jesus Christ and of Gods love for him, and our love for him and his response was.."Oh man, I love you guys too.. yeah.. can I come to church with you this Sunday? And can I go listen to the prophet?" UH YEAH! It was incredible, seriously such a miracle! He was sitting there dropping us and then BAM all the sudden he's back on and wants to keep learning. So we were all excited for church and we had a ride for him and everything... and then he doesn't come. He went to his grandmas church instead. What the heck. (Hence the rollarcoaster week).

   We added a new investigator this last week. We had our first visit on these stairs next to the sidewalk of a busy street. We first just talked with him and got to know him for awhile. We were teaching him about prayer (he's not religious at all) and we asked if it would be ok to start with the prayer. As Sister Stott was praying there was this lady walking down the road approaching us. She slowed down and stopped and waited until we were done with the prayer. After the prayer, this lady comes over and starts bearing her testimony about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and told him how much happier she's been since she's been a member and it was just incredible... a little angel straight from heaven. She bore a powerful testimony and then said her goodbyes and continued down the sidewalk. I LOVE IT!

  Well so as you can kind of see (sorry there's not a whole lot of time today!) it was a pretty good week! I'll tell you a lot more next week, I've kind of skipped some things... I'll fill you in next week. I love you all so much and I hope you have a great week :)

I love you!
