B----'s baptism is being pushed back a couple weeks, due to some minor health details, but his baptismal interview is this upcoming Sunday. He really wants to get baptized and has such a strong testimony of the Gospel and its fruits. The baptismal service will be held around 5 o'clock pm in 2 -3 weeks.  He has not chosen who is going to do the baptism as of yet.  He came to church yesterday for the 4th time and stayed for all 3 hours and loved it again, even though he was very sick to his stomach.  

This week has been great. Zone conference was amazing and really helped me to come to solutions on a lot of things I have been pondering lately, especially about how I can be a better companion.  We also got right to work with our "JustServe" program, and were able to find time to do a bunch of service this week.

We have seen progress in a lot of our investigators this week. S--- came to church with M--- and D--- yesterday. along with J---- and B----, we had 5 total at church. All four of us missionaries here in Fillmore spoke in Sacrament Meeting, as well. We had our choice on topics between missionary work and the atonement, or missionary work and service. I chose the atonement, and talked about how because of the atonement we as members can overcome our fears of doing missionary work.  I used the example of Peter overcoming his fears.  The whole meeting was very spiritual and a lot of the members complimented all 4 of us missionaries.

I was also able to go on exchanges with the zone leaders in Ventura with Elder Carter. He is from Flower Mound, Texas.  It was an amazing day with many miracles. Elder Carter is a powerhouse example to me in all aspects of the work. I learned a lot, and am very grateful for the opportunity to exchange with him. Ventura was awesome. I want to serve there so bad someday.  We taught so many lessons and talked to so many people.  

Summary: pretty normal week. occupied with studies, district needs, investigators, knocking doors, gay guys coming out of the closet to me telling me they love me, giving a blessing to a girl while she was having a seizure and then all a sudden she wakes up and tries to kiss me, stopping drug deals, saving marriages, playing croquet, and stuff..... ya know, just the usual here in Cali.
