Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays!

Hello everyone! 

Every week is a good week in the California Long Beach Mission, so you can probably guess how this one went! 

This week we found 4 new great investigators, we set baptismal dates with 2 investigators and 2 people came to sacrament meeting, which is really awesome for this area haha we are just seeing the blessings roll in every day. Sometimes we have especially wonderful evenings or lessons and I can't help but think that I am so not worthy to be able to be lucky enough to be a part of this great work! God is so good. 

Last night we got to teach a great new investigator named Roxy. We found her when we went to go look for a different potential. She had moved and Roxy invited us back. As soon as we pulled up she was out of the house, coming down the steps, to greet us; it was definitely refreshing haha. We went on a walk to the park nearby and taught her there. The Spirit was just flowing all around us, guiding Sister Herrera and me as we taught, it was awesome! She said that her friend had recently been baptized and she had told her she needed to do it too, that she would feel so good! I am just so in awe of how perfectly God prepares his children :) 

We also had some awesome lessons with Gabriel, Eddie, and Savanna (our investigators preparing for baptism), and some others. 

Savanna and Eddie came to church this week and stayed after for a baptism! Afterwards, we were walking home with Savanna and she said she felt that it is her time and she is even more excited for her baptism now! 

Last night Sister Herrera and I celebrated New Year’s Eve with the district and junk food haha but Saturday I convinced her to get Chinese food with me! :) the tradition continues unbroken! Even though it was the day before, I'm going to count it haha. 

Today we also went hiking with about half of the zone (the English half), it sucked but also was really great- like most hikes haha 

I love you a lot! I know the Church is true! Faith is the power that makes things happen that need to happen.
