New Area, Old Companion

Hello Everyone!

I have left the hesperia and victorville area and Sister Adams and am now in Apple Valley with good old Sister Bingham. I was her companion down in Rialto, only for 6 short weeks, so I am happy to be with her again. This is her last transfer. She is still working really hard though. Today was our temple day. We missed the 8:15 session that we were supposed to go on. Our ride was 15 mins late, and drove slow enough to make me upset. It ended up being a blessing though because while we waited for the next session they allowed us to do initiatories which I havent done since the first time I went to the Temple. It was incredible. So amazing to be reminded of all the blessings that we have been promised in the temple if we live righteously. I loved it. Afterward our ride took us to Maccaroni grill. It was really gooood. We have been having so much fun. We are over the Spring Valley Lake family ward and the Ridgecrest Singles ward. SVL is all older people. They are two of the funnest wards. The single people are so awkward around eachother. Sometimes I look around for a camera crew just to make sure that I am not in the 3rd singles ward movie, because honestly sometimes I wonder. I swear I wasnt that awkward, but they have me seriously worried about what I might be like when I get home. eee.
The work is going really well. We have some investigators in each ward. One of them in the family ward is a man named Scott that I OYM'd in Hesperia. He is doing so well, and is eating up the gospel. It has been really full circle for me to see. I love it. Our investigator closest to baptism is a little boy named Alucard (dracula backwards). He is 9 years old. His mom is recently re-activated. I love their family. I feel so blessed to be able to go into these peoples homes and be a part of their life in the most beautiful way.

The weather is really hot. Sometimes I would rather die than tract in 105 degree weather because then I would be in heaven. But I try not to think like that. I am looking forward to fall again, it cant come soon enough in my sweaty book.
Our apartment is semi-infested with black widows. We just had the place sprayed and we find dead 'creatures' all the time. Nasty.

I still love it though. I know that there is nothing better I could be doing with my life than this wonderful work of the Lords. I love you all. I miss you too!
