Culinary Restoration!
Best crepes I've ever had. A less active member made us the best food
ever. He used to own a restaurant in downtown LA. He said he would
sell these crepes for like 7 bucks each and he gave us like 5! And
he'd just make them up as he went.
Dear home,
This week started off with an interesting turn. We started with
exchanges from Monday to Tuesday, so Elder Bailey, Saunders, and I
were in Tujunga. We were planning for the next day when all of a
sudden we get a call from the APs. They were calling to emergency
transfer Elder Clark. So, long story short, Elder Clark is not in our
companionship anymore. Which has been a bit interesting because we are
almost whitewashing now hahah. But it's not too bad since I only have
to focus on teaching one person Spanish instead of two.
Nevertheless, we had a great week with a lot of miracles. On our
exchange, we helped an Hermana from the ward paint some of her house.
She wanted us to stop by someone she had helped out a few times named
Eduardo. We called him and set up a time with him for a couple days
later. The lesson we had with him was awesome. He was so eager to
learn and listen to what we had to say. I have a lot of respect for
him because he has had a pretty hard life but diligently tries to be
closer to God. He had a wife that passed away about 8 years ago and an
8 year old son with disabilities and a 16 year old son in
rehabilitation center. I'm used to seeing the single moms having to
deal with stuff like this, but he's the first one I've seen in a
situation like his. We had another lesson with him on Saturday to
introduce the Book of Mormon with him. He liked it a lot. Turned out
he had a boss that was Mormon that would invite him to church, but he
would never go. We set a goal for baptism with him for late June and
invited him to church. And lo and behold he came! It was a great sight
to see him there with his son so eager to learn and enjoy his
experience there.
Then, we had a few lessons with a lady named Rocelia. She is the
sister of a returning less active who was visiting from Las Vegas. We
had a really spirit packed lesson on Saturday in which we had her pray
and invited her to be baptized and she accepted a date as well. She
came to church the next day, which was awesome. We went by later in
the day to set up an appointment with her and she was gone...:( her
daughter had come and picked her up to take her back to Las Vegas... I
hope that is not the last we see of her, though. But we'll see what
happens, there.
We also had Juanitas baptism this weekend. It went well and it was
great to see her be happy. She has a great spirit.
Things are going great. We're still trying to figure out the area, but
it's been great getting to kind of reset the area on our own.
