Happy Halloween!

Well Hello all, it's been another fun filled week in the Rimgrove ward here in SUNNY California! Well our week has been filled of exciting things. One was my first Mission tour last week. We had Elder Walker from the 70 come, it was so neat and so rewarding, he told some fun stories about the apostles and the importance of our mission calls, but one the major themes was this

"In the gospel there are no such things as coincidences, just panned incidents!" He talked about how God truly is in all the small details of our lives. It was a great mission tour I really enjoyed it.  The crazy part was the very next day we were at the gas station filling our car and checking the oil, but the hood wouldn't shut, and at that moment the elders in that area were walking past turns out the leverwas stuck, so that was just a little thing but that was proof of a planned incident.

Also the other night we heard a knock at our door, and our neighbor brought us all these groceries, it was so nice, we were so grateful. None of neighbors are members but they are all incredibly nice, and bring us variousfruitsand things often, I'm convinced that they will all become members one day.

Also we are still teaching Arnulfo our investigator, and the day we went to teach the word of wisdom he was drinking Coffee, and so then we taught him the word of wisdom, and he siad I don'tdrink or smoke, I drink coffee every once in a while but I knowit's bad for me so I'll stop, I don't know why tea is bad, but if God says I won't drink that either. That just is a testimony of how  prepared and awesome he is, he truly is great, he was supposed to get baptized this past week but he had to work so he missed church so he will be baptized next Saturday. We are soo excited!

We also had a ward halloween party on saturday, it was so fun to be with and get to know the members a bit more, and also on saturday we rode our bikes for the half the day, it was so crazy because our area is ginormous and we don't live in our area, but we found a bike path that made it faster to get where we wanted to go.

One last thing, have any of you ever tried a percimmon? If you haven't I suggest not to unless you want to be foaming at the mouth, it's a weird fruit I guess you put it in pie.

Well Happy Halloween all! Tonight the missionaries will be at the stake center, because we can't be out since halloween is nuts, literally there is a costume place on every corner! Crazy!

Love, Hermana Love
