Warming Up in Bakes!

So, yup, it's been warm here lately. I know i shouldn't complain because there are worse spots than bakersfield. It's only like 105-110 here, in other places where there are missionaries i know it gets like 120 but still, it's pretty darn hot!! This past week we were able to teach only 15 lessons. We've been shooting for 20 but no luck. Our 4th of july wasn't the most exciting ever. I sure do miss doing fireworks. I was telling elder bennett (our roommate and district leader) about the bombs i make and he sounded pretty impressed. I can't wait for 363 days to pass because it will then be the 4th again and i can do more bombs!! BOOOOMM!!!! haha No one had signed up for the 4th of july to let us come over for dinner but we stopped by this family, the Kini-kini family and they asked if we had a dinner so they offered to let us come over and so we did! This is a small world but they sorta know the Ika family so i took them a picture of elder ika's dad and they kinda recognized them. The family, kini-kini's, are actually going to be moving to payson in december!Our missionary work is going ok. We had a lesson with this lady named Darla (like on little rascals) and she's the sorta born-again type. She goes to a church of the nazarene but we had a good lesson on the restoration and joseph smith and the book of mormon and we invited her if she knew if what we were talking about was true to be baptized by someone holding priesthood authority from God and she accepted. IT was exciting, so we will see how things go tomorrow. she wants to know more about joseph smith and so we gave her a copy of "our heritage" and so we'll see how much she's read. We also still have been working with Lizbeth and we tried to set her with a baptismal date for august but she's really busy. So i'm not sure what's going to happen but we're not going to give up.i'm still trying to be optomistic with my companion but i just came to the realization that i only have 6 months left (not like i didn't know that) and my time will be very short with him. so i just need to stay happy! hakuna matata! my time has come to an end but i will write paul and try an dgive him some encouragement. also, mom, where was travis strong going on his mission ? I love you all so much and sorry to abruptly end this! much love from sunny south side!!!
