Sixth 3-week Update for President Carter

Here's a brief summary of what we've been up to, trying to do as Jesus who "went about doing good' (Acts 10:38):

Hnas Waite and Lambert are doing pretty well.  we have seen some gradual opening of Hna Lambert's thick shell and mask.  we've continued to ask the Group Leader to have her lead the music and she has done that (with her mask off).  She has also taught part of 3 different lessons that we've taught with them (she did none of that with Hna Lambert that i recall).  just fyi on that companionship, per your request.

In the past 3 weeks, we have given rides (to/from airports) to the following missionaries:

E. Walsman (Zimbabwe)

E. Davis (home for surgery, then Uganda)

We've been helping Elder/Sis Wilson with 9 new Toyota RAV cars that have arrived in Thousand Oaks and even drove 3 of them up to Sta Maria.

We attended the English Connect classes in Newbury Park taught by Elders Larsen/Hinkle, but no students showed up. We also attended the class in Sta Barbara taught by Hnas Wooley, Mayne.   They did great—with 5 people attending. 

No baptisms this 3 week period...El Camino Real is in a mini-drought.

We were privileged to teach 20 lessons (maybe a record)—mostly with the junior missionaries, but we are teaching more on our own (Temple prep, priesthood prep, Family History).  Always a highlight for us!

El Camino Real had their second late (7p) Sacrament meeting for Spanish-speaking members and we had a total of 22 souls.  There was a wonderful spirit there and I believe it will continue to grow!

By far, the highlight of this period was finishing the Temple prep lessons for the Jose y Genoveva Rangel family (Camarillo group), who have now completed their interviews with Bishop Terry and will meet with Pres. Thunnel this week and then we will go with them to LA Temple to be endowed (him) and then sealed all of them together for time and all eternity! 

Have a great week and thanks for all you both do each & every day!  You are great mission leaders and we admire you both very much!
