HOLA

mi familia y amigos
como estan???
I hope all is well with everyone im sorry I havent written a good group email in a little while because my email time has been cutt short but I am loving it here in San Diego. everyone refers to me and my companions as la tria haha but sad to say la tria is being terminated and one of my companions is getting transfered tomorrow, we kind of all knew that it was coming because we were having too much fun. this was a great week though we had the baptism of junior a 28 year old who completely changed his life around in like one month which is so awesome. sometimes he accidentally slips swear words into his prayers to have a "good a day" and things like that but its okay because his heart is in the right place and thats all that matters. it was really sweet though the day before his baptism he was praying with us and said "please bless that these three angels can stay in my life" it makes me so happy when people call us angels because I know that God is with us as we do His work. anyways so he was baptized friday along with two other people that the other elder in our ward taught and it was really cool. On saturday we took our two recent converts and our friend Edgar to do family history work haha we got a super long boring tour as you would expect but once we finally made it to the computers we found out that the two recent converts have a bunch of mormon ansesters that live in Utah so that was pretty cool. in a couple weeks we are going to get to go to the Temple with them and do some baptisms so I am excited for that. This week we decided to drop most of our investigators because there isnt very many attending church, so we were kind of worried yesterday that we wouldnt have anyone to teach but we were out on the street and added 7 new investigators within like 2 hours so that was awesome and im hoping that some of them will be ready to commit and progress toward baptism.
I found this quote in preach my gospel this week that I really like,
"True Christianity is love in action- There is no better way to manifest your love for God then to show unselfish love for you fellow man. This is the spirit of missionary work."
we all need to put our love in action and share the light of the gospel with everyone we meet. I love you all and am praying for you! have the best week!!
