WEEK37: MARCOS' BAPTISM & NERF WARS ON P-DAY


Marcos' baptismal service
This week was pretty great!  I got the opportunity to be a witness at one of my investigator’s baptism that I taught in Jurupa.  His name is Marcos and he is a stud!  He moved to Mt. Rubidoux, and the Elders there Elder Young and Cornaby set everything up and he finally was able to enter the waters of baptism! It was awesome!  Other than that, Pat is still doing well and we are slowly waiting for her Baptism on the 30th of July.
We were able to go to a stake activity.  It was a chili cook off, and it was a ton of fun! There was a lot of great food, and a petting zoo.

I love petting zoos this much!

On our way to 7-Eleven
 
Elder Westenskow, Elder Gulbranson and I have gained an addiction to 7/11 and their birthday cake slurpees.  Everytime is a good time for slurpees!
 
Being in a pod is pretty fun! Especially with Elder Westenskow and Elder Gulbranson.  Elder Westenskow goes home after this transfer, so we are going extra hard so he will finish with a bang!  Other than that this week was just tiring as always.  But there isn’t any time to stop working, especially when the Lord is blessing us with people to teach.
Congrats to Hallie Jo on the engagement!  Proud of you!  Hope all is well with everyone, and you are all in my prayers.
Love,
Elder Pennington
