Crazy week here in California! Transfers again! I didn't get moved, but I am getting a new companion. My new companion is named Elder Allred. I have actually got to work near him in one of my past areas and am super excited for this upcoming transfer. It is truly incredible to see the Lord's hand in transfers and putting us with companions and areas that help us to learn life's lessons. I am truly so grateful for it!
As for this week, we have an awesome investigator named Raquel. She should be getting baptized on the 22nd of April. She is super excited about it and has an incredibly strong testimony! I love getting to see those lives that are changed by this gospel.
I have also recognized this week about how much the gospel and it's teachings have formed who I am. As I sat and really thought about where I would be without it, I couldn't even imagine it. I don't have any idea who I would be! The spirit then told me that that is the purpose of missionary work. Those around us need that sense of direction, that understanding of our purpose in life. It truly is mind boggling to me to think that there are so many people without that. As I have realized that, it has given me such a greater perspective of what I am really doing here as a missionary.
I hope that you all have a great week and can look for a way to be a positive example of the Savior!

Here is a funny picture. We pulled up to do some things at the church, and when we came back out, we realized that it was the Saturday session of stake conference. It made me laugh!
