Pasadena, California: Week 83

It's been another good week! 

Pretty much right before I got here, there was a baptism for a new convert in the church named Sister Lozano. She is super cool, and we've been visiting her a lot to keep teaching her the after-baptism lessons, and we even got to take her to the LA temple visitors center!! Even though we didn't go in the temple itself, it felt so nice to actually see a temple again in person. The spirit was strong the whole time we were there, and Sister Lozano is really fascinated by temples. In fact, in a recent lesson she told us she's been reading about ancient temples from the Old Testament, and that seeing and learning about modern day temples makes her feel like she made the right choice to be baptized. :) 

Like I mentioned last week, the Pasadena ward has a big emphasis on missionary work, which is amazing to see! This week we met the Andertons, who have two daughters, one who recently returned from a mission in Thailand, and one who's currently doing the online MTC in preparation to go to Taiwan. They both gave awesome talks on Sunday, and the whole Anderton family has been so friendly to Sister Lozano in helping her feel welcomed into the ward. 

Finally, my companion and I are the Facebook Finding Leaders for the zone. That basically means we have meetings with the office elders and do trainings to teach the zone how to better use Facebook to find people to teach. Which is funny because I don't really have any idea how to use Facebook! But oh well, I am learning. 

Hope everyone had a great Fathers Day, and have a great week!
