Well this week has been incredibly busy! Since we are doing 4 missionaries worth of work we have our days planned out 2 days before! We have lessons every hour and have a lot of solid investigators. We had 7 investigators come to church and even got a less active family there too. I don't really like doing less active work but it was so cool to see them at church! Our chapel was pretty full too!

 

There was one crazy thing that happened this week. We found out that our mission boundaries are going to be affected by the Redlands and Carlsbad missions. They opened 3 new missions here in California out of the 58 that were announced and so there might be a probability that missionaries from the Riverside mission will be called to a different mission. The Lord is hastening his work and it is so cool to be out here to see it happening!

 

We had a baptism yesterday! It was a 9 year old boy that the other Elders were teaching. We just had to set up the interview and the baptism so it wasn't really Elder Prieto and I's baptism but it counts for the area! The work here in Moreno Valley is growing and I am pretty sure March will be full of baptisms!

 

 We got bunk beds!!! We have soooo much room for ACTIVITIES!!!!!! we also got memory foam pads for our beds and I have been sleeping the best yet while on my mission! I am on the top bunk and it reminds me of my loft bed too! I love Bunk Beds!!! (I already fell off once though)

 

 We got to go to the temple this Friday too and I loved this visit! I felt the spirit very strong and always have a great time there. We ate at 5 Guys afterwards and it was really good. They have the best drink machines ever!!

Well that is all I had down for the week. Thanks for all the support! I miss every one!
