Hello! Hope you are all having a great monday! Life is going great here! I survived yet another transfer in Lake Elsinore - which means that will be a whole 1/4 (6 months) of my mission here!! WOW! This is going soo fast, can you believe it!? I am really happy though because me and Elder Fly are going to have a lot of exciting things coming up this transfer...so stay tuned for the adventure!So I was going on splits with one of the High councilmen in our ward/stake (Bro. McBride [Sr.]) and he was talking to this guy who we were teaching and he was like talking about how there were just some missionaries who they wanted them to stay and some to hitch a ride out and how he would miss me soo much like a son... haha a good hence for the name - so I thought that was pretty nifty - - haha or maybe just a good white-lie.. hmmph, well anything makes my happy :)We had Brett Dudley's baptism this Sunday right after stake conference. It was really great.. sadly not a lot of our members showed up for it - but still really peaceful. & a happy ending to his 3 and 1/2 year path to getting baptized!! And yet again - what a blessing to be able to have the priesthood authority of God to be able to perform that oordinance for someone! Just makes you just want to keep doing our Heavenly Fathers work to help more of His children make that dicision!As for our other investigators... Coley McAvoy is doing great [a little side note: we are supposed to have daily contact with our investigators every day - which is kind of hard. Well since Coley reads Preach My Gospel - well he calls us every day and has his daily contact!! haha great man I tell ya!] Oh, and Coley is an actor/singer he has so many awards in his house and has been asked to play in so many lead roles! I will have to video tape him for all of you! sooo funny!! The Florez family (Wendy and Joey) are doing great - we just had another lesson with them and she started crying about the Plan of Salvation saying it was so true! Haha, we were talking about their baptism and she was like .. "WAIT, I can get baptized too! I am not too old??" haha we of course said that she was just under that age limit but better not procrastinate too long.. haha jk! I swear I am a good missionary.. I think???Things are going great and can't wait to tell you what's going to happen within the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your prayers of faith - I tell ya, they are working! I am being so blessed! I know this gospel is true with all my heart!Stay safe,Love Elder McBride
