Amazing week yet again at the mormon battalion historic site. It got dedicated finally and we had the great privilage of Elder Holland come and dedicate it! What's even better is that we got to have a mission conference with him as well. He is so passionate about missionary work and he really whipped us into shape. He did his pulpit pounding and everything. He reminded us of the power that we have and the authority we have as well because we have been set apart. It gave us a lot more confidence. And that we need to be converted ourselves and that's why Preach My Gospel is here! So we can convert ourselves first and then help others come unto Christ as well. And President Donaldson asked if I could play the piano for the meeting. Quite an honor! We all got to shake his hand as well. Elder Hinckely and Elder Jensen of the 70 were there too. And then the dedication was that afternoon. Where my companion Sister Zaldivar and I played the musical number! The spirit was definitely with us because we played it perfectly. It was so great to be in the presense of an apostle of the Lord. The work has been going well too. We are still finding new investigators to work with which is a long process but we know that Heavenly Father will bless us for our dilligence. maria is so close to baptism as well! SanDiego is an awesome place to be right now.
