WEEK 25: COPS AND A CUTE LITTLE STRAY DOG



On exchanges with Elder Hoyt.  Nice to be in a car!!
This past week was a really good week.  We had a ZDM where we received training from our Zone Leaders, and that was on Tuesday.  Then the whole zone came crumbling down.  Almost everyone in our zone (18 missionaries, 9 companionships) got sick.  So I went on exchanges with our zone leader, Elder Hoyt, and we left our sick companions back at the apartments! So I got to see what being in a car was like for a couple of days, so that was nice!
Elder Pennington taught this LAPD officer in his first area
and was able to go back and be there for his baptism. The
man on the far right is also LAPD and performed the baptism.


Elder Pennington was asked by this LAPD officer to
speak on the topic of the Holy Ghost at his baptismal service.
One more group picture!
Then This is where the cops come in...  So this past Sunday I went back to my first area... for a Baptism!!!!  MY investigator from there decided to get baptized, and he is LAPD!!!  It was awesome. His friend that is also a motor cop baptized him!  It was an awesome experience.  He asked me to speak on the Holy Ghost at his baptism.  It was sweet!

Also, on Saturday me and another Elder were on a blitz so we were walking around and then found a dog!  It followed us everywhere.  It was so sweet!  But then we had to leave and when we got in the car to leave, it chased after us :( It was so sad :(
