Wild Animal Park!!!

So, today we are off to the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park!  It a HUGE place (like 2,000) acres and it has a bunch of animals.  I think it's like a safari type thing.  IT IS GOING TO BE SO COOL!  We can hand feed giraffes!  Hand feed them!  There is a bunch of other cool stuff to do too.  It's down in Escondido.  

So, I forgot my journal AND my planner today... I will do my best to remember what we have done this week.  

We found some sweet new investigators this week.  One lady is named Evelyn.  She is the neighbor of some members from the ward.  Other missionaries taught her about 3 years ago, and we decided to stop by and see if she still lived there.  She did!  She is pretty cool.  She has two kids, a 23 year old and an 8 month old.  She didn't make some good decisions in life and had her first kid at 15...  But, then she changed stuff around the past 10 or so years and really put her head on straight.  She said she was pregnant about 3 o 4 years ago too, but her baby then never developed a heart and so she had to abort...  But, we taught her the basics of the Plan of Salvation and she seems really interested in learning more!  It was a sweet lesson.  We are going back this Thursday to teach her again.

The other investigator we found is named George!  He is a 17 year old kid that some other missionaries found while on the blitz we had.  We have been trying to teach him since then, but he is never home or always busy...  But, we finally taught him!  Well, I didn't.  Elder Gneiting and I had exchanges on Friday and Saturday, so Elder Belbin and Elder Jensen were in this area and went and taught him.  They said he was pretty cool and super interested!  We have an appointment with him on Sunday, so that's sweet. 

The other investigators are all good too.  We almost set a date with Maria, but her mom was in town and her mom doesn't really support her decision to be baptized and that really put a downer on the lesson we had...  But, we have her tonight and her mom went back to Mexico, so we are setting a date!!!

I think that's all for today...  I wish I had my planner to tell you what's going on or my journal, but we went shopping this morning and are going to the Park at 11, so I didn't bring anything...  But, I already told you all the important stuff, so that's okay!  I love being a missionary!  I know this Gospel is so true and we belong to the ONE and ONLY TRUE church in the whole entire world!  Jose Smith restored the church and the Book of Mormon is the EVIDENCE we have of the Restoration! I love reading it and finding counsel and comfort within its pages.  There is nothing better than the scriptures!  

I hope you have a wonderful week and I will talk to you more next week!

Love, Elder Hunt :)
