Teaching a Ton

HI MOM,
So the mission is going good.. we're still teaching alot, about 18 - 20 lessions a week, we have 4 progressing investigators, we were going to have some baptisms this week but we haven't been able to meet as frequently as we wanted to..

the first is Jai, she's a way cool black girl, like in her late 20's. she loves church, we've been able to hook her up with a couch and food from the church she had a baptismal date but we haven't been able to meet with her as much as we'd like but she comes to church most of the time so that's awesome

next is Taralyn and jasmine.. they are sisters 14 and 12 they've both been going to church for about 3 years. they want to be baptised but they need permission from their great grandmother.. so thats fun, they're fun to teach prob be baptised in about six months due to the mother being in rehab.. but they are really solid investigators

we have annie who we just started teaching this week, she's from samoa she had a really ruff upbringing, she was a felon a long time ago.. its crazy, she is really cool tho.

cali is great i love it out here, the weather is awesome its been like low 70's all week. its ok to be jealous.

anyways things are good.. its really hard tho, prob the hardest thing ive ever done in my life. everyday i come home im so tierd.. my trainer is cool.. i want to say only good things about him, LOL.. anyways idk this area is super good tho. the members are still great, i get to teach a huge multi-family home evening- im going to teach about the scriptures, then im going to have everyone look up the scripture from their birth date, example: mine would be 8 - 28 in any book, so like 1 nephi or alma or helaman, just find the best one then share it.


anywaysI know this gospel is true I know that through faith in our Savior, through the Atoning sacrifice he made, WE CAN BE FORGIVEN. I have felt the love of our Father in Heaven i know He lives. this gospel changes lives, we dont need to go searching for how to have happiness, or what to teach our families, we already know. and there are so many people in this world that dont have this blessing. i know this gospel is true, there is no way it couldnt be. . and dont forget to pray :)

Love,
Elder Blandon
