Pasedena

Well HELLO!! Week 7 completed in Pasadena!! Here are the happenings...
 
1. My new companion is Sister Foster. She is from Idaho, the Boise area. She is the 7th of 8 children. She was home schooled. Loves stories and telling me all of them. She has been out a lil over a year. Pretty much a LOT different from my last companion.
2. We have been meeting with a recent converts aunt and she has been progressing slowly but still progressing. She doesn't feel pressured to come to church or read so that's good.
3. Brother Vasquez... PRAYED AGAIN!! He even prayed during the week with his family for the meal and Robbie their son said, "Good job Daddy! All you have to do is practice." then we read the book of Mormon and he read aloud... which he doesn't like to do apparently.
4. We went to go help a new member in our ward who lives in a duplex with her nonmember father. We walked up and found out that she forgot about us coming and wasn't home but we got to talk with Lewis. We had a GREAT talk and had a mini lesson about the atonement. He said we could come back so hopefully it will work out!
5. I got hit on again by this black guy. He asked if he could text me personally. I said no. Don't worry! BUT they did say the wanted to play basketball at the church so maybe a church tour before... I think so! :]
6. So we get to go to Mormon.org and I found an AWESOME video on there called, The infinite Power of Hope. One it is just good and Two I have been really into studying out what hope means and how I can apply it to my life. Which led me to my favorite scripture this week.
7. Ether 12:4 I LOVE that it says, "which hope cometh faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men" An anchor.... I know we all need and anchor to help us. And as I have been studying it out the world looks at hope as a wishful, doubting word. But in the gospel hope is sure, unwavering and active. interesting how many things the world likes to twist.
 
Well my time is up, hope you are all doing GREAT!!
 
Love you!
