I haven't been with my companion for three days!!!
Soooo hello. I feel like i am in a crazy flash back. I am at the mall in Newbury Park and Hermana Clark is with me. Haha. Its crazy. So we are still together because we were in Bakersfield all weekend and came back on Sunday but since Moorpark is closer to to Bakersfield then Ventura we just decided to stay in Moorpark all day and since we have to meet up again tonight to do another exchange we just decided to stay together here in Moorpark and since my Neff watch broke the Elders gave us permission to come to the mall to get it changed. Crazyyyy...
Exchanges were really good. Bakersfield was hot but really not that bad. I love Bakersfield so much. Crazy thing that happened. One night we were filling up the tank so that we could leave in the morning and a car pulled up full of a family that lived in Lamont and that I taught!!! It was so cool. We took a picture.
Another cool miracle. We were knocking in Bakersfield and we saw this man and woman searching for something...and we realized that they were searching for their keys. We offered to say a pray with them to help them find their keys and then taught him a little and he told us he has a lot of questions for us so we were able to set up something to meet with him more. We went and got in the car and as we did we saw that they found their keys...we rolled down the window and said "prayer works!!!"...haha. It was really cool.
Moorpark is just doing so great right now.
We are teaching a lot of people and they are progressing. We set two people with a baptismal date last night. THey were referred to us by members and are really excited about the church. It is a mother and daughter. Super cute family.
We met this guy named Ryan this week because I guess the elders had found and returned his iPhone for him and he was really grateful so he left a note in our door with his apartment address. Well one day we decided to go by and see him we went by and caught him in the perfect time to talk to him a bit about the gospel. We had a very inspired conversation and he set up an appointment for the next day. We came and he said that after we left his buddy had called and invited him to a 12 step program and he said that he had tried to quit using prescription drugs a week before and we were such an answer to his prayers. He's really excited to learn and expressed the want to be baptized!
Wendy is getting baptized! Sister Bennett was super great and bold and pretty much told Wendy it was up to her to decide when she is getting baptized because she just needs to stop drinking coffee. She said that she could stop right then and we set her with a date of the 21rst of July.
We are teaching lots of people and I love it.
Don't think I'm not excited to see you all...i mean of course I am...i just can't think about that until Im on the plane I owe to heavenly father to finish out serving ...."with all my heart might mind and strength"...
Love you all....Hermana Tippetts
