TEMPLO

Hoy, fuimos al templo de San Diego!  It was AWESOME.  I have some pictures included of how awesome it really is.  P.S. The last picture is of the super tall Elder I told you about.  His name is Elder Hansen and he is 6'9"! OMJ!  Also, a picture of Elder Owens, since his picture with me was lost :( dang Post Office

So, since our area is kind of new-ish, we haven't had a super amount of work...  But, we had some pretty cool miracles this week!

Last Thursday, we were going to this house of an investigator.  We contacted a guy named Angel Reyes (he's famous; look him up).  He said he wasn't big into religion, because he knew he if he went into religion, he would know of all the bad things he has done in his life."  Then we started asking him and few questions about that and we told him how that baptism is for a remission of sins.  He is Catholic, so he has some messed up way of thinking what baptism really is.  But, when we told him about how through the Atonement of Christ and baptism, all the sins and things he has done wrong can be washed away, if he really had a sincere desire.  When we told him that, he like, lit up!  It was so cool to see.  He said he was super interested in learning more, so we took down his info, and are probably going to see him tonight!

Then, the next day, when we arrived home at night, someone came out and talked to us.  Turns out, she was a member, that just got baptized in Febrero, and she just moved here from Fresno (where Hermano Hardy (my MTC teacher) served! There is a return missionary in this ward that served with him! (kinda. They were zone leaders together.(not together together, but at the same time.))  So, she asked us for the number of the missionaries for her ward.  then, when we were getting ready to go home, she told us her cousin (who lives with her) was placing a lot of interest in learning about the Church too!  So, after she is done moving (or before, I don't know) we are going to set up an appointment with her cousin!  We don't have a lot of work right now, but Heavenly Father sure is blessing us with some for the future!

Yesterday, we had Zone Conference!  YAY!  I always love Zone Conference, because we always learn such cool things because President Cook is such a fantastic mission president. 

Sorry this email is so short this week.  We had lots of finding time, and not a whole lot of teaching...

Elder Lewis told me what ward he is from, but I don't even remember what is was... But, he said he was from the St. Louis

I cannot believe I didn't tell you about English classes!  They started them about 3 weeks before I arrived here. (They must have known I was coming ;) )  But, the turn out is really good.  It's mainly members that come, so we are trying to have the members invite their friends and stuff too.  But, we have seen some cool miracles already!  The first day when I arrived, one guy came (non-member) and said he was going to come to church on Sunday!  Guess what? He did!  He is on vacation right now, so we haven't seen him for about a week and a half, but he should be coming back soon, and coming to church again!  He said he liked it! 

Yep, I am the Senior companion in this companionship.

I did make it back to Vista for the bautismo of Jennifer!  And she asked me to baptize her too!  That was super cool.  Hopefully the first of many to come! (I included a picture) :)  And Manuel has still not been confirmed...  More problems with his transportation...  But, hopefully he was on Sunday!  Or this next Sunday...

So, you decided to replace me with a dog?  ;)  You should send me a different picture, because that one didn't work :(

Congrats on your new calling, Mom!  That's awesome!  You will be an awesome Block Captain!  Speaking of being prepared, the mission is really pushing 72 hour kits to be prepared in case anything happens.  I was wondering if you could find me some kind of bag to put all my stuff in.  I have most of the food, personal hygeine, clothes, garments and stuff ready, I just don't have a good enough bag to put it all in...  Do you think you could look around for a good bag that doesn't cost a whole lot?  That would be cool

Tell Maddy congrats on her soccer team!

That's all I have for this week!  I hope you like the pictures!  I finally have a way to send them now, so I will be sending them!  Have a wonderful week!

Love, Elder Hunt
