Week 25- January 27, 2014- Lincoln Hights, East L.A.



Hello everyone,
  Sorry I didn't write yesterday, we were helping some people in the zone move from house to house, so here we are emailing now. This past week was interesting. Some really cool things happened, and also some really dumb things happened. First, the cool things! 

So we had another sweet temple trip with this lady named M. C. She is virtually a single mom with two really sharp kids, R. (11) and J. (7). The reason she is single is because her husband was a bit of a problematic person who decided to take the wrong path. None of us had ever met him though. Until that night at the temple trip! He decided to join along and he was very impressed, felt the spirit, and received a "reality check" and realized he had to change. So we set an appointment with him for a later date. 

Another cool thing: Long story short, this really humble couple straight from Jalisco basically invited themselves to be baptized and are going strong. 

Last Cool thing: So we were walking around on Friday and then all of a sudden we stopped and Elder Blanchard asked if we could say a prayer, so of course we did. Elder Blanchard prayed specificlly that we could find a family ready to receive us. Later on, we knocked on a door and the neighbor opened up! The neighbor is a maid at one of our investigators' house, super humble lady who has a husband and a kid. Sounds like a family to me... So we are going by her seperately now. Awesome!

Dumb things: So a newer missionary in our district managed to have one of his investigators fall in love with him so they passed them off to us. But now they don't want to get baptized... So that has been cool...
Dumb thing 2: So T., M's husband guy, received a text from us confirming the appointment we had. Then he responded a bit negatively and was all machista and didn't let us go over... So that was  that.

But all in all, it's been a good time here in Lincoln Heights, I am learning a lot! I can't imagine what I could teach others haha, but I guess we will find out! Love you all!!
