Glendale, California: Week 46

Well, Armenia and Azerbaijan are at war. I guess Turkey is helping Azerbaijan too? I don't actually know the details, but there are tons of Armenians outside with signs for Artsakh (The area being fought over), and collecting money and supplies for support. And everywhere we go, there are tons of cars waving Armenian flags. It's actually kind of cool, I like how patriotic Armenians are, they're all super serious about protecting their country and culture and stuff. It's sad there are people dying though. Many people we talk with are sad and angry and scared. Which is just more motivation for us to get out and share our message of peace and hope in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ!

On a happier note, general conference was great! So many good talks about all the craziness going on right now. I love what President Nelson said about letting God prevail in our lives. If we give preference to God's will in all the things we do, that's how we can achieve the greatest happiness and biggest blessings. 

Finally, we met several times with someone who's been meeting with the missionaries for about a year now. So it's been a long process, but we asked her if she'd like to be baptized, and she said yes! So that's exciting. She's been attending our church meetings for months, and she fits in great with our little group. 

Well, hope you have a good week, bye!
