California!

Hello everyone! It's so good to finally email again! It's been a while! So it's been really great here and I love it! It's pretty hot here so I'm getting a great tan! Our apartment is kinda old but it's great and this morning it cost us like 10 bucks to do our laundry haha. Isn't that crazy! I was like wowzers it's expensive. We have a window ac unit so we can already keep our room cool where we sleep. So that's a blessing. And the other day our water turned green and smelled like a creek. Lol and the bath water turned brown. Sooooo that was cool.  My trainer's name is sister pressler. She's awesome. Most of our time is spent finding and knocking doors which is super great. Here in southern cali there aren't very many people who want to talk with you hahaha. But it's fine. We are working with some recent converts name gretta and Carl. They are amazing. Gretta was baptized 3 weeks ago now and Carl was an inactive memeber. Gretta is so awesome. She is now a ward missionary which means she gets to turn around and do a ton of missionary work herself after being converted. I think it's so cool. Her husband will be starting a stop smoking program tomorrow which we will be helping him with a lot. So if you could pray for Carl cause it's not going to be easy! Also we found an inactive family last week named the Felicianos. They are Filipino! The mom is a member but inactive and her son is also. But her daughter Caitlyn is 12 but not baptized. So we are working with them to reactivate them and hopefully get caitlyn baptized! I love them already so much! They are amazing. So miracle of the week is we were driving to where we thought was a less active members house and the gps took us to not a less active members house haha. But I had an impression to get out of the car and talk to people anyways. So we did! After walking around for a few minutes and having door shut in our faces we found some little girls! One was 2 and the other was 4. They are the cutest. We got to talk to them about Jesus and give them pictures. They were so curious to who we were and why we were walking around telling people about Jesus! Well we found their dad and were able to talk to him for a bit and invite him and his family to church. They didn't show but it was still super cool how god works. He literally led us to that family. Also as we were driving around towards the evening last week I saw a girl sitting at a bus stop and felt like we needed to talk to her. So we pulled over and walked up to introduce our selve. We'll right as we were about to have a conversation a bus came by and picked her up. I was like "wait! Atleast take a book of mormon!" Haha and she was like " I already have one actually! I'll read though I promise!" I was like what the heck! Ya dumb bus. I was so sad cause she was prime. But it's ok. I'm praying that We'll find her again. It's so cool to be able to talk to people about christ. It's so fulfilling and I feel the spirit so strongly. I love this gospel and feel the truthfulness of it every day. This gospel is true! There is no other way in this life we can be truly happy and that's the truth. Christ is our joy. He is our song:) I love you all! It's so good to hear from you!
