This week we started our friend Lucas! (He also attended Church)
Second week in the transfer down! It was a wonderful week for our zone. To put things in perspective,
we set the goal (as a zone) to have 5 friends with a Baptisimal date. We achieved that goal at the start
of the week, and this week we double it and have 10 friends with a baptismal date! Every single one of
our goals has been achieved and Elder Campbell and I are trying to keep the momentum going.
There are many local restaurants found only in Moreno Valley.

This week I have tried several new foods,
including but not limited to; "Pho" (Pronounced Fuh)
a vietnamese broth, a cake shake (literally a cake
stuffed inside and blended
up with a shake), and soon
to be some place called
"Hoggs".
My stomach doesn't necessarily
enjoy these mixtures,
but my mouth does

We also were able to go to the March Field Air Museum and help clean. There are many retired military
planes, helicopters, replicas of the atomic bomb, and even a SR-71 Blackbird there!
I'll share the story of how we came in contact with Lucas because it was rather cool!
Lucas is someone who randomly friended me on Facebook,
after a little bit of conversation I brought up religion.
He told methat he hadn't been able to talk to anyone about God for
some time and would love to chat! Someone saying that they would love to chat
about God would excite any missionary, and it definitely got me
excited! We called and started talking about receiving answers to our prayers.
After our opening prayer I asked if he had a Bible so he could read along with
some scriptures. He had left his only Bible in texas.
We offered to drop one off later that night, and then he brought up a better idea,
"If y'all are coming over to drop off a Bible, do you just want to come now and
we can talk in person?"
We practically ran to the car. After talking with Lucas for a while,
and trying to keep some VERY friendly dogs busy, we offered a
closing prayer. It was a fantastic experience!
There is going to be one very funny story for next week's email...
