Don't Stop Believing: Finding Jesus in Fortuna

2.26.18

Hey all, 
First off, shout out to Josh Ford for getting his mission call this week! The Philippines is about to get a good one! 
Had some pretty cool experiences this week but I'll save that for a little later. 
Thursday we went down to a place called Garberville and it's pretty sketchy - like you might get stabbed by a homeless guy but it's fun too. We found a new investigator there and we also went to a questionable place called "murder mountain"...  there was snow up there so you know we had to go! We took some pictures and tried to visit a member but they probably just thought we were the authorities and wouldn't answer the door. This happens to be that place I was talking about where the most disappearances happen each year. We started getting weird looks like we weren't supposed to be there so we left but I got to see some neat greenhouses! I'll attach some pictures from there.
Saturday was the real day:  BAPTISM. That's right, Cinthya got baptized this week and I couldn't be more stoked to have been a part of it. She is super solid in the church already, along with her husband so that makes things a ton better! The Spirit was so strong watching her come up out of the water... practically a new person. It makes me feel good to have been a positive influence in someone's life and help them out. I'm grateful for the opportunities I have every day as a missionary to help others. I know that as we look for those times to help others, our own lives will be blessed because of it. 
Keep reading the Book of Mormon every day. It will change your life, I promise! 
The Song Of The Week is "Dont Stop Believin" by Journey.
 Don't stop believin' everyone!
