Week 91!!!

Hello!

This week was crazy fast again!! I don't like it! It really was a blur, and after it, I don't really know what to say to you all. We had two exchanges this week. Exchanges are fun, but it's always nice to get back to normal. One exchange was with Elder Lund, a past companion from Pico Rivera a year ago. That was cool to serve with him again. I enjoyed it a lot! We have both come a long way in that year, and have learned so much! My other exchange was with our roommate back in Pico Rivera. It was a pretty cool chance to serve with both of them for a day.

This week Ignacio and Trinidad did not make it to church which was lame. They had to take an emergency trip to Tijuana for I'm not sure why. we had a lesson with him Monday last week and reviewed the baptismal questions. It was good. He is super ready. Then, they had another lesson with him to review a few things. Tonight we have the bishop coming with us to get him pumped up, and tomorrow is his actual interview. If all goes well, he will be baptized the next Sunday. I am very excited!

The mission is in a very good spot right now. I mentioned the cool goal setting meeting to get our goal set at 75 baptisms by the end of the mission. We have had a few really good meetings this week to solidify our personal goals and zone goals. I have really enjoyed it a lot. I am super pumped and really, I feel I am going to have the next two months as the best of my mission.

I apologize, I really am having a hard time thinking of what to say. Two exchanges in one week kind of messes it up as things to report on! I do like this scripture though! It is Ether 12:4 "Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world. Yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God." I encourage you all to allow your faith to grow inside of you until it becomes an anchor in your soul. I really do know that through faith that you can stay rooted into the gospel, and that as you are anchored in Christ, you can overcome anything.

Remember this sweet pillow I bought a year ago?

Well, after a ear of searching, I found this sweet blanket to go with it!

Have a good week!

Love,
Elder Lloyd
