Well, not much to report on. Here are some pictures from my birthday. Mexicans have a tradition of smashing the birthday person's face in the cake. That has now happened three times this month in our district. Yay April birthdays! I have a wonderful district and they made it a really great day. It was also the day when all the new missionaries come in. Since our district isn't changing, we were going to have district meeting that morning. Elder Orndorff and Elder Boswell were over at our apartment to get their bikes and we were about to bike to the church together when they got a call from President. He asked them to be trainers for a missionary who had been reassigned after getting sick in Honduras. They didn't have a lot of notice that he was coming, so that's why they got the late call. They had to drop everything, take the English elders' car and head to the mission office.
We also switched apartments. Ours has (had) two stories and theirs is tiny. Since they have three missionaries now, they needed a bigger apartment. It's kind of funny because they two English companionship switched too, for the same reason. Musical apartments! There are now 12 missionaries here in Madera. Crazy!
We found some good new investigators this week. They're all searchers, people who have listened to many different religions, gone to different churches, but are still unsatisfied and somewhat confused with all the different messages they have received. They want to know the truth, and they have all responded very well to the message of the restoration.
The power went out at the church half an hour before church started. The bishopric decided to have sacrament meeting in the dark and if the power still hadn't come on, we would go home after that. Thankfully the lights came on about half-way through sacrament meeting. We had one investigator there who came with a less-active member friend, but she had to leave right after sacrament meeting and we haven't got a chance to follow up with her yet. Hopefully she enjoyed it despite the lack of light at first.
I can't believe April is over! Times just flies by. I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Lofthouse
