Everyone:
Where has this transfer gone? There's still a couple weeks left, sure, but still... Anyways, starting with Tuesday, we tracted a good deal and visited the familia Vasquez. We've given them the form they need to fill out for their marriage liscense, so it shouldn't be too much longer before Hermana Luz Vasquez can get baptized. Hopefully.
On Wednesday, we tracted some more, visited Anne and talked a bit about her confirmation and the temple, and had Wilshire ward correlation.
On Thursday we planned as usual, we visited Karen again, and we contacted one of our referrals.
On Friday I was on splits with Elder Hoffmeier, my district leader. We did some tracting, had a follow-up appointment with Kathy, someone we met tracting the week before, that went pretty well, and we visited Karla. Karla's is a difficult situation, since she wants to get baptized but hasn't been doing a lot of the things she needs to do to be ready, like going to church regularly and reading the scriptures. We're still working on it, but if she doesn't progress any in the next couple of weeks, we'll have to drop her. I know I'll hate to do it if we have to do it, but I will do what is best for all of the Lord's children in this area.
On Saturday, the entire mission got together at the ward building behind the temple for the broadcast of President Hinckley's funeral. It was, apparently, only the second time in its history that the entire mission was together in one room.
On Sunday, we had church, and I confirmed Anne. In the afternoon we visited a member of the Wilshire ward who's in the hospital, in company with Brother Case, our ward mission leader, and contacted Andres Rios and his wife, a referral we received recently, and taught them.
Today we brought a couple Books of Mormon that the sister in the hospital had asked for to her (we found out she's in the hospital just across the street from our apartment) and we had a hike in what has to be the only place in the mission that you can be a couple miles away from the nearest paved road.

The only way to salvation is through Gethsemane. The only victory is the victory at the summit of Calvary. Welcome to the journey of the Disciples of Christ.
