7/27 Aguirre Baptism and Celebration!

Hello Family & Friends!
Hope you are all having a great Monday and had a good safe week! Wow, it's been a whole transfer since I've been gone from Corona - & yes I am staying in Lake Elsinore.. for at least another transfer?? Life has been full of ups and downs over here - I am still loving being with Elder Veater; we have tons of laughs [which reminds me - we need to send you our music video] haha. The other elders in the appartment (Worthen & Olsen) I have also grown really close to. Except we just heard that Worthen was getting moved :( goll sometimes transfers just arn't fun! - well I guess I will make more friends! Oh dang... hope the new elder cuts hair!!! hahaSo on Monday after emailing on my SLOW computer we went over to one of my favorite members houses: the Yokshas's and they had our investigator Geo over to eat. We ate and then watched "On the Way Home" - haha, I haven't seen that movie forever, but Geo loved it and afterward Bro Yokshas asked Geo when he wanted to be baptized and Geo said he wanted to but he just had to get permission from his dad- which he said was probably going to happen :) so fingers crossed on that! Afterward we went out and had a fun ice cream party with them at Cold Stones! I think I might have ate a little too much... hahaSo one of our referrals I might have mentioned: Dorothy Hicks, we went over to teach her about the Restoration. She is such a great lady and she eats up all of what we say.. So then we told her to pray about it and she gave us a weird look and said "why, I already know it's true?" we were like "huh!!!" lol, she said that it was all about Christ and that she believed it and wanted to know more - so we are thinking that she is pretty darn hopeful for becoming a member of this gospel! Haha, I can't say I will ever get sick of those experiences!Oh, so funny experience that I forgot to write about last time and just expresses how blond I really am... About a week ago me and E. Veater were tracting and we got to the last house on the block and knocked into this born-again christian guy who then talked to us about the trinity. Being E. Veaters door and turn to talk I guess I zoned out for a split second...and he (the born-again) started talking about the "son" a lot and how he is dead and I thought he was talking about Jesus Christ - so with a bold voice I told him "He Is Risen!!" .. They both gave me a funny look and E. Veater then said "he is talking about his son that just got into a car crash and died"... well... If that isn't false doctrine, lol, I felt like a total idiot! - I swear I didn't hear car crash in there though. Well I guess it just goes to show that you ALWAYS need to stay paying attention... haha, that was the joke of the next week - everyone was saying "He Is Risen" to me.Al Aguirre's Baptism was great! He had tons of people that came to his baptism! Unfortunately the AC wasn't working ..so everyone was sweating bullets! But everything turned our really good. He is going to be teaching Gospel Doctrine in no time - like everytime we go over there he is like: "tell me more thouroughly about Joseph Smith and the Egyption translations".So the whole stake got together and had a huge dinner and game night for Pioneer day on Saturday. We ate so much (everyone fed us there left overs) and then we played a couple of rounds of tug-o-war and got sooo sore! haha Great fun though! Did you guys do anything fun for the 24th???I have no idea what I am going to do with my wards though. Sometimes they just drive me CRAZY! We have explained the mission plan to them so many times and they still arn't grasping it... ughh. I do just try to smile and make the best of it but sometimes I just want a little help! Oh so I have been having a lot of weird dreams lately. For the past couple of nights I have had this re-accuring dream of the old lady down stairs that dresses in the bakini come up and yell at us again the shut up. Then last night I had a dream that I was tracting with E. Veater and I didn't have my contacts in so I couldn't see like an inch in front of my face.. so E. Veater said that this kid was throwing rocks at us so I started swinging my arms and hit this african american kid right in the face and he called it a hate crime so we started to run from him. Haha, don't think I would ever have dreams like thoughs if I didn't come on the mission... maybe I will start praying for GOOD dreams!Well how is everyone else doing? Sorry if you haven't gotten a letter in a long time - I'm quite the slacker with that, but I will try my hardest to write back! I love receiving all of your letters though, and they make me feel loved :) Well any big news updates?Hope you are all doing well, and staying safe! My prayers go out to each and everyone of you! I love you and miss you all very much and know that my Heavenly Father is there and keeping me safe and I know that He will keep you all safe too :)Love Elder McBride
