Leaving Moreno Valley...

Off to Jurupa Zone!

Well I am getting transferred to Jurupa and will be covering the south side of the zone. Elder Dial, my trainer, served in this area and I think it will be pretty fun! My new companion is Elder Laparra. Everyone except 4  in my zone here that I know is leaving too and I am excited for my new area and sad at the same time. I love my ward here. They are awesome and love missionary work. I hope my new ward will love to work too. I have some packing to finish up with today and then I am leaving at 4. I will be living in just a 2 man apartment and we don't have a washer and dryer so I think we will be paying for laundry or doing it at a members home. This will be my first time being transferred in my mission and I am looking forward to it!

 

We also had a baptism yesterday and one of our 10 year-old investigators got baptized (Janice)and her 8 year old brother (James)and another 8 year old boy in the ward (Benjamin). I actually baptized Benjamin because I taught him twice with Elder Dial and no one in the family could do it. It was a great experience and the baptism was awesome! The spirit was super strong there! Baptisms are the BEST!

 

Here is some other notes I wrote down:

 

Someone check out NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique). A member gave me a pamphlet on it and apparently they have cured diabetes, CP, and a bunch of other diseases. It sounds like a hoax but I guess its worth looking up.

 

Now this cure for diabetes is a little more believable. I got some of these little beetles called chineese weevils from some members here. Apparently if you eat these beetles without chewing them, meaning alive, starting at 1 the first day, 2 the second day and so on up to 70 the 70th day and then work all the way back down for a span on 140 days you will then be cured! So I am growing some right now in a little cage and need to know if I should start pounding fistfuls of beetles yet.

 

I got the package that was sent and just in time because I just ran out of honey and the body wash and shampoo will really come in handy.

 

I also got the nail polish that tastes bad to stop biting fingernails and it works! It tastes awful! I also havent bit my nails this whole past week!

 

Insulin has been fun. My sugar levels have been really good and the shots haven't been bad at all.

 

Well I am loving my mission and can't wait to go to my new area! I love you all!
