Why are the mountains green?

 
First off. JAMIE CAME THE WARD PARTY!!!!! (my cousin) First official interaction with the church in almost 20 years! That was literally the coolest thing ever I was jumping around everywhere like a 4 year old. They said they enjoyed it, even though they got swarmed with the members! Everyone wanted to meet them cause I talk about them so much, they didnt get overwhelmed though so that is a good thing! They didnt come to church unfortunately but I told he that she has a an eternal spot saved on the bench next to us! 
Other cool stuff that happened was Elder Myers got to skype in for his older brothers baptism. That was a really cool experience, we were 2000 miles away and we could feel the same spirit that was there in that room. It was a huge testimony builder for me seeing who is Brother is after hearing all these crazy stories about him. The gospel truly changes people, and its such a blessing to see it first hand! 
We were playing janitor for a long time this week making sure our last apartment was in ready condition to sell, it worked out well though! We got an A from the housing coordinators whose Brother, wait for it, is the President of Pixar and Disney animationl....WTHECK? The guy wrote Toy Story...so I love him.

Thats pretty much the super cool miracles of the week, Im looking forward to not having any distractions this week so we can find as many people as possible. Im giving a baptisimal interview tonight and am teaching the Book of Mormon class tomorrow so we will be busy!

The picture is from last week for our Zone Activity. We went down into the mountains of Bakersfield, and everything was green. It was really weird...the first thing the member said when they drove us down there was "What the? Why are the mountains green?" So I am going to guess that we were pretty lucky to go there at that time. I dont know why Im frowning in the picture...cause I was super happy to be up there! Love you all, have a solid week!
