It got up to the 90s this week- we're all getting ready for summer!
This
week we went on a little exchange with the sisters in Visalia - Sister
Ferrell and Sister Morse. We talked to this really cool guy named Ralph,
who took lessons from missionaries 15 years ago after his wife passed
away. He writes poems and was going to write us all limericks. He shared
a quote - I won't borrow from tomorrow, I won't be downcast about the
past, I'll just saw WOW for now- He taught me that day. Just give
everything you have now and don't worry about the past or future, it's
all in God's hands.

We went out to Caruthers
and had a sweet experience with a family. The parents are both return
missionaries that got back a few years ago. We shared Jacob 5:72 and
then without even asking them the husband said, "You know, I haven't
been doing as much missionary work since I got home, and I really feel
like I should call Rosa". Then they texted us an hour later and said
that they had called her and she wanted to listen! Missionary work
works!! I'm so grateful that we followed the prompting to go and visit
them.
We also did service for the "Selma
Beautification Day". I hadn't been that dirty in a long time. We weeded
and planted flowers (I've learned more about yard work on my mission
that in my whole life) and then cleaned out this barn from 1906. Super
fun!

| We knocked on this random door and asked to use this lady's bathroom, and she had this picture in her front room - it looks just like the First Vision! We shared the experience with her and it was pretty cool! |
I started reading the Book of Mormon this
week again, and we've been really focusing on it recently with all of
the members. There's this one couple where the husband can't read very
well since he didn't go to school at all growing up. It was really sweet
to watch the wife help him out, and we promised him that if he read the
book of Mormon everyday that his reading would improve. I would
encourage you all to read the Book of Mormon. If you're already in it,
keep reading, and if you haven't picked it up in a while, start again,
and if you've never read it or don't have one, go to mormon.org
and request a free one! I know that this book is true. And without it I
would not have the peace and knowledge that I have of my Savior and His
love.
And transfer calls came......We're all staying! I keep telling people that I'm never leaving Selma haha!
