Wonderful weather!!

Hey all,

Well things are going fantastically in Lodi. It is pretty chilly at times here! Really only in the mornings and while on bike! But the weather is wonderful.

If I had to describe the general scent of Lodi/Cali, it would be marijuana. Ha. So much of it. mmmm :P

Damian is receiving the Priesthood very soon, which is awesome. He is so strong and sensitive to the spirit. We taught him and his wife about the gospel of Christ this week, and he just testified so powerfully. He is like a prodigy. We are happy to be able to teach his wife Erika, although it will be on hold for a little while because she is about to have a baby boy, which is great to see them so happy and excited.

Something that Elder Fernandez and I have been doing a ton is singing hymns. Before or after we teach a lesson, we will sing a simple song like I Am a Child of God, or Families can be Together Forever. They bring the spirit so strongly and give us an opportunity to testify and teach very simple and beautiful truths. It is something that President Lewis and Elder Baxter have asked us to do, and it is bringing great blessings.

Owing to the shortness of time between preparation days, not too much to talk about! But I love you all and I hope you have a great week as we get going on this new year! Stay safe and warm.
