It's transfers this next Monday (August 24th), so keep that
in mind if you're going to send stuff after, like, Wednesday the Mission Office

Riverside, CA 92504
Great week with two baptisms. We had 50 people turn
out to one of them, which was awesome. Funniest moment was the 16 year
old baptizing the 14 year old. He used one hand to put him under water
and pull him back up again. He's a strong guy! I guess we failed to
let him know the mechanics.
I had exchanges with the AP's (assistants to the President)
in Norco (the other half of Norco is my area) but we did some service in the
morning. I love service and all, but it was a great reminder that even
after living in Norco for almost 6 weeks now, I am still really, really
allergic to horses. My nose was running all day, my throat was all closed
up, and my eyes were itching like crazy. Cleaning out a horse shed is no
fun, and the horses weren't even there! Their (the APs) life is hard! We got to
their place at like 11:45 pm, so the lack of sleep didn't help the allergies!
Second funny story of exchanges was visiting an investigator,
whose walls were literally covered with cockroaches. I literally have
never seen so many cockroaches crawling around everywhere. There was
literally not a square foot without a cockroach on it. He didn't really
seem to mind either - he must be the cockroach whisperer.
One of our investigators who's awesome is having trouble
with his parents, which is a shame. They feel that if he gets baptized it
means he's leaving them, which is obviously not true! Family is the #1 most
important thing.
Our apartment got really hot this past week (we're having a
heat wave). When it got to 96 degrees inside, we had to bounce out of
there and head to another missionary’s place to chill (literally) for a while.
