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.

Hello everyone.
I feel as though I havent written a group email for a bit. so here it goes. We just got transfer news this last Saturday. Sister Adams and I are staying together. To keep from saying anything negative I will just stop there.
We went to the temple this morning, which as always was very much needed. The feelings that you get there are unreal. I have made it a goal to go to the temple 3xs a week when I get home. I hope I can stick to it.
We have had some really good things happen around here. We had 2 part member families come to church this last week. And we got 4 new investigators. We are having a ward activity on Saturday. Pray that people will show up! Our investigator Kayla is sort of on hold right now. She doesnt really know what she wants, if she wants to marry Jeremy or leave him. She did a lot of drugs growing up so has an immature mind set. I love her though, and pray that she will make the right decision.
It is starting to warm up again. I am not really looking forward to it. Most of my shirts are already yellow in the armpits. gross, i know. oh well. I am the one that has to wear them.
Well I have to run. I love you all, and pray for you often.
write me lots.
love me.
