MUD BLIZZARD (January 15, 2018)

Hello everyone! This past week has been another week FULL of Miracles, including a miracle from today where the orthopedic specialist I saw said that everything looks good with my knee! I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Elder Willes, President and Sister Hammon and the Jurupa Zone


This past week, Elder Nelson and I have worked really hard. We were able to find 4 new investigators, which was super awesome and we are super happy about that! We have been extremely busy! The Lord continues to bless us each and every day. It is the greatest blessing to be a part of the Lord's work. We did get to watch President Monson's funeral. A little sad for sure, but yes, a very very spiritual meeting. President Monson was an incredible person, prophet, and leader. He was my prophet. He signed my mission call. I love him and will miss him! 

On Monday night we had the opportunity to teach a new investigator from this past week, Winnie Cui. We found Winnie in the middle of Harada Park and taught her at the library. We invited Su Jie Mei to attend the lesson. It was super awesome! Winnie currently attends another church but really liked the Book of Mormon and the uniqueness of the message of the Restoration. Please pray for her!

Tuesday night we went over and had another lesson with Brian Chen! Brian and his family just recently got back from Taiwan. It was another great lesson and the Spirit was strong as we taught him! 

We also had another awesome visit with Ryan Chen! Ryan called us this past week and said that he needed some help translating some documents. Ryan is starting to trust us and we are slowly developing a great relationship with him. Ryan has been very less-active for roughly the past 2 years. It has been so awesome to see and be a part of him coming back to church. We also taught Wesley, another new investigator, at Harada Park. It was freezing outside (probably 60 degrees haha)!

Saturday morning we had a big service project in Corona. We scooped mud for like 4 hours out of people's backyards! About a week ago, we had a big rainstorm come through which caused some serious mudslides. It looked like a blizzard, but a mud blizzard! Crazy! We also had the opportunity to have a first lesson with Jack and Kelly, more new investigators from this past week. We originally had received a referral for them and we finally got to go over and teach them on Saturday! Jack is a USC graduate and Kelly graduated from UCR. They are really nice and speak English very well. Please pray for them that they can attend church!

Sunday was another awesome day although we were not able to have any investigators attend church this past week. Missionary work is the absolute best. What a blessing it is to be a part of the greatest and most important work on the earth today. Love you all have a great week!
