Azusa, California: Week 89

This was a pretty great week! I'm really liking this area because it seems like there's always stuff to do, things are always pretty busy. 

My companion started talking to a guy named Alex on Facebook, and it turns out Alex remembers him from a time they talked in the street like half a year ago. My companion doesn't remember talking with him at all, but on Friday we went on a hike with him. He's super cool, and he said he wants to keep meeting with the Spanish missionaries in his area! 

We also met several nice people as we were out walking around and knocking on doors. One of them is named Alex, and one named Kate, who is a foreign exchange student from Japan! Also met a guy named Manny on Facebook and started talking with him on zoom. Basically, there's a lot of potential in this area! 

Here's a scripture I read recently from the Book of Mormon that I really like. It's in 2 Nephi 26: 

        24 He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.

25 Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price.

I know that that's true, Christ invites everyone to come unto him and enjoy the amazing blessings that his gospel brings. 

Have a good week!
