Eighth 3-week Summary for President Carter

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: Elder Bromley (Tokyo Japan), 5 departing missionaries (Hna Hunt, Hna Martinez, Elder Foutz, Sis Sagers, Sis Rasmussen)

We attended the English Connect class in Moorpark taught by Hnas Silva/Van Brocklin and they did very well; also in Oxnard taught by Hnas Dickinson/Darrington, and their class has grown to 6 students.  

We attended the following baptism:  Erika Tolentino

We were privileged to teach 21 lessons—mostly with the junior missionaries, but we are teaching more on our own (all focused on retention).  Always a highlight!

A couple of upcoming highlights—we have arranged to have Bro Jose Rangel receive his patriarchal blessing in Spanish (must travel to Newbury Park stake); and even more exciting—we're taking Abraham Torres to the LA Temple this Saturday to do 7 baptisms for the dead (his dad, all 4 grandparents and 2 great-grandparents)!! 

El Camino Real cancelled their late (7p) Sacrament meeting because it fell on Easter Sunday, but we should be back up and running this coming Sunday.

Hna Weatherford does her regularly weekly service (1^st time i've reported it though) of 3 piano lessons to Belia Soto (Stk RS pscy), Emma Giron (ward RS Prez effectively) and Deysi Tenorio's daughter.  We've also started helping an elderly lady in Leisure Village get settled into her new place.
