Hijole!
Busy busy busy!
Bueno bueno bueno!
This week was an insanely awesome week!... part 2!
We had a good 4th of July heat wave here so it was nice and toasty. On p-day we just drove out behind LAX, got up on a hill, and just enjoyed the ocean breeze. Nice and cool. Then the rest of the week started off super great because O__ was Baptised!!!!!!
Everything came together really well and O__ was so happy! She felt the spirit so strongly at her baptism and she said she didn't even feel like herself any more. She felt totally new. Some members who were baptized just a few years ago talked with her for almost an hour after her baptism and it was so great. The members are just awesome. I swear they've done more to help O__ than the missionaries have. O__ is wanting to go to the temple and do temple Baptisms before she leaves which will be so cool.
Then we had the 4th of July and it was cray zay! We had to be in our apartments by 6:00 so I had all this studying planned but.... It was LOUD! Like VERY LOUD! My apartment is surrounded by other apartment complexes so we couldn't see too many fireworks. But boy could we hear them. Even with our apartment built to block out airplane noise it didn't stand a chance against the fireworks and all the car alarms they were setting off. Man LA goes all out with fireworks! I thought Utah was crazy haha nope.
We also got to go to the second Mormon night in less than a month. This time for the LA Galaxy. It was lots of fun and it's cool that some of the sports teams in LA are doing these Mormon nights. Now we just need to get the Lakers on board for when the Jazz are in town next season 
. What was really cool tho was they had a handful of missionaries sing the national anthem at the beginning. 20,000 people seeing some missionaries on the jumbotron. Now that's some good publicity if I do say so myself. We ended up needing to leave the game early to make it home on time because we bussed there with a recent convert. But after waiting for the bus for an hour and a half, we realized it wasn't coming. And then we realized that most of the busses stopped running. And then we realized we were stuck at the game. 
Luckily our district leader was able to save the day and drove all the way out to pick us up. Fun times.
And yesterday was great as well! Of course. Great week. I had the opportunity to confirm O__ and she is just killing it. We had a lesson with her to start off her new member lessons and she was just blowing my mind with how solid she is. Satan definitely didn't want her to be Baptized and confirmed so he sent some opposition and temptations her way but she wasn't about to let that stop her. She knows what's right and is doing everything she can to stay on the straight and narrow.
I just love being a missionary so much and getting too work with incredible people is a huge blessing.
The Gospel is so true!
Have a great week!
