Dear Pres. Carter,
Here's a brief summary of what we've been up to the last 3 weeks--
We have given rides (to/from airports) to the following missionaries: E. Younger (home), Hna Denning (Dominican Republic)
We've been helping Elder/Sis Wilson with the old Nissan Rogues that need to have their hitches transferred over to the new ones; we've also helped drive 9 new Toyota RAVs that arrived in Thousand Oaks down to the Mission Office.
We attended the English Connect class in Oxnard taught by Hna Marshall/Darrington, but only 1 or 2 students showed up.
We attended the following baptism: Abelino Hernandez (Hna Weatherford spoke)
We were privileged to teach 12 lessons—mostly with the junior missionaries, but we are teaching more on our own too. Always a highlight for us!
El Camino Real had their 3rd & 4th late (7p) Sacrament meetings for Spanish-speaking members and we had a total of 17 & 19 souls there—always a wonderful spirit there!
We had a busy week with 4 Zone Conferences as well, but those are always so sweet to meet and be taught by the spirit with 30-40 wonderful servants of our Father in Heaven.
We made some huge progress towards helping our Camarillo Spanish group turn into a branch—we met with Bp Terry and the Stk Presidency and developed a plan to move this closer to reality. Pres. Thunnell should let us know in coming weeks what they're going to submit to the Area Presidency in SLC.
By far, the highlight of this period was taking Jose Rangel to the Temple to be endowed and then he and his wife (Genoveva) to be sealed, along with their twin 15 year-old daughters! those were 2 super special days (and we truly appreciate you not canceling one of those days in order to help with the sister missionary who need to go home accompanied by a sister). Truly, that was a dream of mine since the MTC to be able to help at least one family get sealed in the Temple for eternity!
