Hello Everyone!!

This past week has been a pretty good week! On Monday my companion and I went to UCI (University of California Irvine) and talked to everyone we saw. I saw this young man locking his bike up and I said "Hey, you ever talked to the Mormons?" and he laughed a little and said that he actually hasn't before. He invited us in and we taught him and two other of his roommates. It was a great lesson and it was interesting because they were all from different religious backgrounds. One was raised Christian and had a good knowledge about the bible, the other was catholic and rarely went to church, and the other was raised in a Chinese family who had no religious background at all. They accepted to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, they recently cancelled our next lesson but we will check on them in a couple of days to see where they are at. We recently got a new ward mission leader and he is so good! We were kind of struggling to meet and correlate with the other one, but the new one is so excited about the work and he has already been coming to lessons and helping us out so much!

Our mission president told us he wants us to make our own mormon.org profiles!! So I already made mine and now it is being processed, but it should be up soon for everyone to see. To my family who reads this, even my relatives...make a Mormon.org profile! It is such a good way to share your testimony with the world and the world really needs it today. We have been meeting with our recent convert Michael and his sister as well, his sister has been coming to church every sun day and she is doing so well, and working toward her baptismal goal, she lives in a different area though so this week we passed her off to different elders. However this last lesson we taught with Michael and his sister, his mom joined us! It is such an amazing thing to see that Michael is being such a great example for his entire family! He also said this Sunday that he wants to work toward serving a mission!!! This transfer has this week and the next and then we will be in a new one, it is very crazy how fast time goes. I love you all, I hope all is going well. Until next week.
