Happy New Year

Hey friends! Happy new year!

This week has been terrific! On New Years' Eve we got to watch Despicable Me 2 and Monsters University. It was awesome! After being movie-deprived for 4 months, Despicable Me seemed like the funniest thing I'd ever seen. I really thought my sides might explode from laughing.

On Thursday we went to Oakland for some follow-up training for Elder Vance. Training meetings are great. The Spirit is always there, we learn tons, and we get pumped for missionary work. It's great!

We're struggling to find new investigators, but the ones we have are fantastic! One of our investigators recognized the Spirit while we read 3 Nephi 11 with her, and we were super excited to hear that.

Elder Vance and I are super pumped for the new year. We've been praying hard over our goals, and we know the Lord will pour out miracles on the South San Francisco ward over the next couple months. The Gospel is true, even though Alabama lost. There is so much happiness to be found in the restored Gospel! When we have faith in the Savior enough to keep His commandments, He reaches out and brings us tons of joy!

Have a great week everybody!
