Ramona Oaks: GUESS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO THAT!?!

GUESS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO THAT!?! They changed the mission rules for email this last week so now I an email ANYONE (friends, family, pets, anyone!) at home!!! no for reals though... they really did! So post my email on Facebook and tell everyone to send me an email. We also are allowed to use 2 hours on the computer to accommodate. :) I'm so excited to be able to email everyone now. 

I don't think Jen will find me if she is going to be at the San Diego Temple. Ramona is like an hour away from the temple but if she does happen to take a trip up there she won't be disappointed because Ramona is seriously the bomb.

OH! so this week was pretty amazing! I had my first baptism this last week!!!! Her name is Kim Cabrera. She is an Indian from the Barona reservation.  Leo, her Husband, baptized her who was a convert of a few years ago! It was SWEET! And so that family I was talking to you about (the Malky's) are getting Baptized this Saturday! Well at least the Mom and daughter are... We are still working with the father but he still wants to get baptized probably sometime in April. So that will make it 3 baptisms in 2 weeks...

Kim Cabrera's Baptism

BUT WAIT!!! it gets better! So this family (the Styx) that the missionaries have been teaching for like almost 6 months decided to get baptized this Saturday as well! Apparently it has just been a roller coaster with them the last few months because the Father (Gerry) didn't want to take a step of faith and get baptized because he felt he should know EVERYTHING about the church before he joins. So he proceeded to read anything he could get his hands on including some anti. They continued to go to church but the missionaries were super frustrated because the wife and daughter wanted to get baptized but not without Gerry. But, this past Sunday Gerry finally decided to be Baptized and him and his wife will be baptized as well this coming Saturday and then Gerry will baptize his daughter in a few weeks! 

So, in total that should make 5 baptisms in 2 weeks and 2 more on the way! The work is going SO well already and now we need to get everyone ready for baptism and get more investigators to teach! 

So yeah... good times here on the Mission... Be sure to tell everyone that they can email me now and I can email them back!

Love,
Elder Ethan John Rowbury
