Pretty cold for you guys up North. It was 97 heat wise here!

Holas

Ohh, it sounds pretty cold for you guys up north haha. The snow's gr8 right? Everyone here wants to see snow and think it's just gr8 ha.

The other day it was 97 heat wise and it was awesome! Pico is one of the hottest, if not the hottest in our mish yeaaaah. ha it's not even summer yet!

We had more people in church. The former pres came wahoo. There was bout 36 people, no investigators which I hate!!

We talked with a guy yesterday in the night who had a lot of interest. He's named Ricardo Enrique, bout 30 and lives alone. I felt good with his reaction he had with talking with him for a lil bit. Pablo and Claudia didn't go to church again. They just need one more time, then they can get bapt. The missionaries here have been workin with them for quite a while. They got married in July and still haven't been bapt. He was bapt but lost his records and all of his fam are like less active, but we're trying to get them to bapt.

Tuesday we had a zone mini conference, just with the missionaries in Santa Rosa (bout 2hrs from Pico) and it was gr8! Elder Jake Howard (from gville) is our ZL. He's awesome. I knew him for 1 yr in the ville of grant, but it was awesome. At the conference they talked bout basically just going all out and how some times satan puts like limits in our heads. But it's up to our faith and how hard we work and how obedient we are. I've always liked the challenge of being as obedient as possible cuz I know I can do that. It's pretty easy if you concentrate good. I'm also trying to work on my intelligenceness (knowledge) in the scriptures. That's always been pretty hard for me, but  I'm workin on it. I love the B o M. I read today bout Ammon teaching King Lamoni bout God cuz we talked with a guy yesterday who said he believes in somethin greater like a God.

Funny story, we were teaching a guy in front of his house, then all of the sudden ha some drunk stopped on his bike and was like, "Alright, lets talk bout the bible. What does it say in Apocalypses 21?" haha "Do you know how many religions there are? 1350!" he said lol.  We were like kinda laughing, like who is this guy. Then he left after telling us the gospel saved his life. Kinda weird haha.

The 2nd counselor in our branch was going to be the boxing champ of Argy, but went on a mission instead. He's named Ruben ¨Rocky¨ Flores. There's a few returned missionaries that are some of the less actives in our ward and i just hate how that happens. And you can tell that they lost the vision after the mish and the priorities. I remember a quote from Pres. Rose that some guy told to him. When this guy had a lot of work in a short time or somethin, but no matter what, always went and talked to people bout the gospel. Someone said to him, "You have a lot of work,"  But he said, "What will matter in a thousand years, if he worked a lil more or perhaps convert a family." (may have messed up the story, but it went somethin like that) That man showed that he has his priorities straight and that's somethin I want to have in my life and I'm glad for the examples of people that put the Lord in their life. 1st bcuz when all is said and done, of all the things you do in life, the important thing is if we our worthy for celestial kingdom.

love alls of yalls

Elder Reginald Grant Roberts and pray that I can do better in remembering or my knowledge in gospel Gracias! :)
