Hello to All



Well the work is rolling along. Sister Bingham has died, from missionary life. I was sad to kill her off, but it was her time. I am still in Apple Valley serving in the singles ward, and a family ward. Now I am with Sister Rasmussen. She has been out 7 months, and is from Woods Cross Utah. She is so much fun. We have a lot in common. Since we are both pretty new to the area, we are getting to know it together. It has been really fun. We are teaching some really great people. People have been waiting to hear the happy news of the Gospel, the Atonement, and Plan of salvation. We feel so lucky to be the ones to tell them. One in paticular is Scott. He has a really hard year, and has made some mistakes. He finds so much hope and happiness in the things that we teach him. There are a lot of really great things that will come o ut of the singles ward as well. The youth are so great at doing missionary work.

The other day we were tracting and we ran into this guy who wasnt interested but he kinda acted like Ace on Ace Ventura. (Jim Carrey) In his voice he said "Alright now, have a good day now, buh bye now, be careful out there, bu bye." We are still laughing about it. Man tracting would suck if it werent for the good old crazies. Anyway, things are really great out in the desert. Things are starting to cool down to 95 or 98, so its nice. I am looking forward to the cool air again, cause Ill be honest the gig is up with the heat. Alright, I love you all.

And as the people of Spring Valley Lake would say "May God Bless you"

love sister cain.

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!

love cain train.

Seeing amazing things happen..





Well well well, the end of another transfer approaches and I cant believe it. Another 6 weeks gone just like that. Sister Adams and I have been doing great. There are some really good things going on in both of wards. We recently had to re-write our ward mission plans. Sister Adams and I took the liberty of doing it ourselves due to lack of trust in our ward mission leaders... ha. But we did them and they turned out to be really great. One of our new goals is to pick 5 focus families from each ward, for each month. We will visit them every week and help them and encourage and check up on their missionary work. The idea is that by the end of the month they will have a new family for us to teach in their home or at least a new investigator. So far we are seeing amazing things happen.

It hasnt been too hot lately. It rained for a few minutes the other day and it has kept the temps in the high 90s which is nice. We still try and do any tracting in the morning so we arent dripping sweat at each door.Well I love you all, and I hope that you are all sharing this wonderful gospel with everyone you meet.

love sister cain.
