Did I even mention we have a car? Probably not. Yes we
have a car which is great because it is SO HOT. Everything is brown and ugly
since there's no rain and it's all dead. Also, my companion forgot to tell me
that my address had a box number included in it, so if you sent me a letter in
the past two weeks, I have not gotten it, and I don't know where the mail went.
Sorry. The address is 7923 Sunrise blvd #2-108, Citrus Heights CA, 95610. It
might also be easier to send things to the mission office because then it for
sure gets to me. The mission office address is 8583 Watt Avenue, Antelope, CA
95746.
Okay so this week has been hot and droughty. As usual.
There is never a single cloud in the sky and it's always blue. Everything is
dead except for trees. My kind of town. My ward mission leader, Brother
Castillo (who has only been a member for 20 months) said that there is a
drought, but there is also a drought in
investigators which is so true right now. We have 3 investigators that we
haven't been able to see at all because they are all on vacation. I have taught
some lessons, but it's been to members. It's been nice though because they
understand what I am saying, and it's so nice to practice before I talk to an
investigator.
I played my musical number on Sunday. I played the
Restoration Medley by Paul Cardall and it was amazing, the spirit was so strong
there. I can't even tell you how many people came up to me in tears telling me
how beautiful it was. Bishop Martel is eager for me to play again soon. I also
have started playing prelude every Sunday and everyone really likes it. I am so
glad I have this talent to share, and that I can touch so many hearts with it.
It is one of the biggest ways I share my testimony. I want to play the piano for
the rest of my life.
This week I attended another pair of sisters missionaries
baptism. It was so nice. The person being baptized was Rolly, and he is from
the Philippines. It felt so good to be there as a missionary, because I know
that I can feel like that later when I do find someone to teach.
Something I have learned this week is that having faith
in Christ is something that never stops growing. It's always going. We must
always exercise our faith, or it will diminish. I have faith that the Holy
Ghost will tell me what I need to say every week when I talk to people. I feel
such a peace every day that I can't describe. I am trying my best, and I feel
like the lord is pleased with who I am becoming.
I love my family so much. I love all of you so much. I am
so grateful for all you do. The support you give me is why I am still here. I
would have gone home so long ago without all of you. I hit my month mark on
Saturday the 8th. 17 more to go. Talk to you all soon! You have my eternal
love.
Sincerely,
Sister Caroline Ginn
This was the baptism and this is most of my zone. Rolly
is the one holding the bag. I look like a little child.
