Well today has been such a great day this far, we left at 5:30 this morning for the LA temple, a member with a 15 passenger van took me and my companion and 8 other elders to the temple, it was soo nice of them, so we were super happy to be able to go since it has been quite a few months since I have been able to go, so I am very happy right now, we also had an awesome week last week with some really powerful lessons. We actually committed an investigator Estefany who is 15 to be baptized this coming Sunday after resolving some doubts that she had, it was really powerful, she is soo ready. Then a few days later we had a lesson with Sally another investigator and committed her for the 25th of September, so September has some exciting days ahead. Also we are making some progress with some less-actives we've been trying to get a hold of and finally for the 1st time since I've got here we've actually got in contact with some of them, so it is soo cool, to see all our work going somewhere and that we are able to see results from our labors.
Oh also last Wednesday we rode our bikes to the church and it was conveniently the hottest day of the week 108 degrees. The church is only 3 miles away it's a gradual hill on the way there, but by the time I got there I was dying and had a whole lot more respect for the Elders who only have their bikes, I guess I am out of shape I was sore the rest of the day and we haven't rode our bikes since, but we probably will be soon.
Also we had a scare last weekend, President Gutierrez who is the first counselor in our mission presidency and also in the last ward I served with went hiking with a bunch of people from the church but then during the hike he was lost, but they luckily found him a day later and was fine because he is a survivor. So it was good!
Anyway so life is pretty good here in Covina, I'm really looking forward to this next week, because everyday is exciting as a missionary and hope you all have a good week as well.
I love you all! Love,

oh and here is a thought " There must be works with faith. How foolish it would be to ask the Lord to give us knowledge, but how wise to ask the Lord's help to acquireknowledge, to study constructively, to think clearly, and to retain things that we have learned " I'm not sure who said but I love it and I know it is soo true!!
