We went to the Redlands Temple!

January 24, 2012

Dear Family,

So this week we had the awesome opportunity to go the Redlands temple, and do an endowment session. I love going to the temple, I learn something new every time I go. Every time we go to the temple it's tradition to go to Cafe Rio, the only one I know outside of UT. Man I love that shredded pork burrito.

We had somewhat of a slow week, we had P-day Monday, DDM and took the car in Tuesday, temple interviews and took the car in again Wednesday, went to the temple Thurs, and did weekly planning Friday. All of these events take about a minimum of three hours of the day. That's a lot of prime proselyting time. Saturday was the only regular proselyting day. We had stake conference, on Sunday which was good, because we got another hour of proselyting time.

So, Stephanie Solis, IDK (I don’t know) if you still remember her, her mom is the one with the tumor. We dropped her because she wasn't progressing and her dad was inhibiting that progression. We dropped by randomly and said hello......she had finished the book of Mormon. Mind you, we hadn't gone by to visit them in months! Unfortunately, her dad won't let her get baptized. If you could pray for her that would be great. Her dad straight up doesn't like the missionaries. He has said if they go to church he'll follow them and shoot and kill them and us.....oh well, that black tag is bullet-proof.

Not much else to report, other than I love you guys and hope you have a great week!
