Hey, Howz it goin'?
I'm still here en la valley w/Hna Alcantara. Not letting any miracle pass by. Aug. 16, 2009, Alex & Adrian Garcia will be baptized. By Alejandro, their Father, who will receive the Priesthood the same day! Yay! Laura & Alejandro got baptized 6 years ago, but went inactive after 1 month. Alejandro met some member in the hospital & she game us the referral! Yay! Huge miracle family. They all think the 4 month old baby, Anel, looks like me, they call her Hna Baker & Me, Hna Anel. Just because she is fair skinned & has colored eyes. I have had so many people on my mission compare me to their fair skinned neices and babies, it's pretty funny. The other day we were looking for Maria, (one of our investigators) as we were getting out of the car, border patrol swarmed the street. So we went up to her house & she lived in the back of the house, so we were comming and a border patrol entered the yard so we said Hi, and walked past- then my comp turns to me going to express excitement about what was going on, & there was another one coming right at us! They were everywhere!! So as she turned away from me to look forward.... she walked right into this hugh upside down cactus tree! Whopped her right in the head. So funny! She was okay- no worries. It was so funny though. Also another LA little girl we are teaching, 8 years old is getting baptized the 16th too. We just received some really cool training on how to do "finding" - super hard, but awesome!
So things are good.
