Hello!
Another week in Riverside. Um...so we haven't been able to find new people to teach lately, but yesterday, we were sitting there...and didn't know what to do. We didn't get a chance to plan the night before, because of my headache. So while we were thinking, I thought of a man we met a long time ago. His name is Guillermo Guadarrama...or something. Anyway, I said "Let's go see Guillermo" My companion agreed. We drove to his house, and knocked on the door. His wife, Maria answered. She invited us to sit down and asked if we would like a drink. We sat and talked for a while about life and other unimportant topics. Guillermo finally joined us and listened. Eventually, we started talking about the gospel. Which led to a lesson. Which led to a blessing on their home and family. Which led to them accepting the challenge to be baptized. They have 4 daughters who will likely join us for our next lesson. They said they would come to church for sure. They live right across the street from the church! I know we were led by the Spirit to "go see Guillermo". I will let you know how our next appointment goes. It was great to see this couple change in front of our eyes because of the Spirit.

Other than that, I don't remember much. My back isn't doing any better.
We went to the Temple. . . didn't really get much out of it. . .
Anyway, life's good! bye

hello!
The reason I didn't get to email last week, was because we had to go to the doctor for my back. Ugh. And we have to go again today...

So um, this week was fast. I don't remember really what happened. Just that we taught people, we got in a wreck, went on exchanges with the APs, uh...oh, did I say wreck? Yeah...I wasn't driving, but it hurt. I was in the process of getting better. I felt 65% healed. Then during the accident, my neck and my back kinda went back down to...45%ish healed. Right now, I feel ok. But if I try moving, then it hurts a lot. Anyway, enough of that.

I was able to play the piano a few times this week. It felt really good. Although I can't remember half the songs I used to play all the time. :( that makes me really sad. When I come home next year, I'm going to play so much that you guys are going to be sick of me.

Um...so one of our investigators who should be baptized by the end of the month has dyslexia. I don't know if I spelled that right, but you know what it is. She has a hard time reading. So, when we gave her the Book of Mormon, she was able to read it perfectly and understood it all! She said that she had prayed and asked for help understanding the book. What a miracle!

Anyway, I gotta go get adjusted now. K bye!
