Week 13 - Oildale

This was a great week. On Monday we went by referalls and taught the Moncera family. We found an 81 year-old man named Jose Ocampos who is still working in the Grape fields! It's crazy. He is super cool, though and really kind. He can't read, so he says he'll ask his wife to read for him. On Tuesday we went by more referrals, because it turns out that Elder Jacobson has had tons of old teaching records from our area, so we are going by them. We went by Juan and Jorge, and it turns out he opened to a random verse and read it. Our investigators are not progressing, so that little choice he made was big. We went by Jose Ocampos on Thursday and gave him a large Libro de Mormon. On Friday we stopped by Kim and their crew. They are super cool converts, and living with non-members. On Saturday we went to a baptism, and we sang in it. The woman baptized cried. We had Stake Conference that night, which was good. Elder Acosta came from the 70. On Sunday he held a special Spanish session for Hispanics only where he just answered questions. We went by more referrals, and found an amazing person who prefers Spanish to English, so we have to give it to the sisters. We went by Eddie, where the above testimony by Berinese was given. We also went to Kim and their family, and they are doing okay. Monica, the oldest, quit her job, though. We invited her to come to a special session from Elder Bednar where he wants to talk to 18-30 year olds. She might come. Today has been a good day.
Here are some pictures:
Also, thanks for the emails you sent. I love you, and I hope you are all doing well.
