Queridos Amigos y Familia!
Bueno, this week's been weird. I'm going to be honest this e-mail's going to be a pretty short one, we don't have a bunch of time before we have to drive down to Santa Rosa.
Some of the highlights of the week were saying goodbye to all the members here. There might be some characters, but you really grow pretty close to them in a short time here in Clearlake. We also had the opportunity to go to the Young Ambassador show in Lakeport, which the show itself was pretty weird watching, but I got to see a lot of the members from Cloverdale while I was there, which was really cool. I got to say bye to them one last time.
Unfortunately the investigator work in our area has slowed down, I don't know why exactly, but the good news is that the less-active work is going pretty well. We are teaching the Mendoza Family and the Rivera Family pretty consistently, as well as Nacho and a number of other less-actives like Rafael. We also have been teaching some of Hno. Rivera's other children (from a previous marriage) who aren't baptized. Particularly his 11-12 year old son who just moved to the area and so is spending a lot of time with his dad now. If anyone is baptized in this area in the near future it'll be him.
Well, that's about all that I have time for, but I love y'all and am really excited to see all of y'all in a little while! Love y'all!!
