Week 42- May 26, 2014- Pomona, CA
Dear home,
First off, this week I got transferred
to Pomona. Pomona is on the complete opposite side of the
mission. So far, it's pretty different. It's a lot flatter and more
spacious. So I am enjoying the change a bit. But I am going to miss east
LA, the smog, sirens, angry Chinese people yelling, and strong scent of
marijuana at every corner.
Fortunately, I got to see Vilma get
baptized this past Sunday! It was a bit of a stressful week leading
up to it. A lot of doubts kept attacking her, but she still wanted
to get baptized. She past her interview and it went well. After
the interview, we went to the
temple. We thought it would be a
good idea, but it turned out pretty shaky... The sisters that did the
tour did not quite teach what we expected and needed and she ended
up with even more doubts... So, as
you can imagine, we ended up pretty
stressed. But, thankfully, church yesterday was awesome for her and
she ended up getting baptized. It was awesome!
Claire didn't get
baptized this week, but it was mainly due to the lack of contact we had with
her. But she should be getting baptized in these coming weeks.
This last week was pretty awesome.
David, the member in our area, has been awesome lately. He brought us
over to another one of his friends named Omar. Omar is super deep into
drugs. We had a few lessons with him, and each time we started out
he was in a pretty bad mood. So we had to show him a video or do
something to warm him up. By the end of
the lessons he was pretty cool. But
he is in Satans grasp for sure. Pretty scary to see. Hopefully
Elder fellows will be able to help Omar and his family out.
It's crazy how fast time has been
flying, I am really excited to get to learn from the other side of the
mission. My new companion is Elder Williams. He is from Austin, Texas.
He is going home this transfer.
Its crazy, he will be my fourth
companion that I'll be with on their last transfer. After this transfer
I will have more companions home than out on their mission haha. He
was in my first district in east LA
so I know him a bit. He's kind of a
geeky guy, but he's cool and hard working, so I am looking forward to
getting it done on this side of the mission.
