Back to Temecula...

Last week  4/8/2019

Hey everyone how are you? 

We got transfers this week and I will be heading off to Temecula again!! I will be in the Temecula Creek ward this time around, and I will be companions with Elder Methvin, I really don't know him well at all I have not served around him before. 

This week was also General Conference!! And I loved all of it! I would say some of the stand out talks to me was the talk on the immediate blessings of the Lord by Elder McKay, Elder Anderson's remarks on the eye of faith, and the talk by Elder Villar on spiritual gifts. 

We watched conference with Chris and April on Sunday afternoon and they really loved it, Chris is doing well, he is still unable to go long times without coffee but he has gone days without it and I know he will be able to quit so before to long!! 

Love you all

First week in Temecula had been awesome. Elder Methvin is a rancher from Kansas and he loved working on the ranch. He loves missionary work so we get along just fine. We have had a good amount of success already! Found 10 new people to teach. We are in a 4 man apartment with two other Elders. Elders Betzold and Miyagawa. It is super fun! 

The solid people in our teaching pool is CJ and his wife Denisia, Phil, Bill, Jerry Morris, and Derrick. CJ and Denisia were found tracting, he is from the Virgin Islands and they are very spiritual and so far love the Book of Mormon. Phil likes coming to church but hasn't kept many other commitments. Bill is very familiar with the church and is held up from joining because he doesn't know what his family would think. Jerry is solid but we just barely found him and will continue to teach him. Derrick is a referral from a member in Utah (who he is dating). We gave him a blessing and now he is intrested in learning more. 

Love you all, this work is so true!
