Tijuana!

      So if you've been reading my emails, you might have heard about a man named Jose. He was an investigator in my last area (Logan Heights). If you haven't here's a sum up. Jose is a man who has had 6 strokes, his wife and son were recently baptized in October, and before his last major stroke he wanted nothing to do with the church or missionaries. Well, he is now a changed person, he's accepted the Gospel and will be baptized this Saturday and because I taught him I can attend his baptism!!!!! I am beyond happy and excited to see him be baptized. After I was transferred I was worried that he wouldn't be baptized, he had a date for Feb 14th, but he's moved up his date! The Lord really does know what he is doing and he knows better than us!
      Everything is going well here in Chula Vista YSA. Ysa is pretty fun, lots of activities! We had an actvity, Karaoke night. We went because our investigator was going, and she's really shy. Well that night it was really hard for me to focus on my missionary purpose with all the singing and it was really hard for me not to sing along to some of the songs. I have to admit, I failed, I didn't go up and sing a song, but I might have sang along to some songs. My companion and I participated and went up to sing Amazing Grace. 
      We are working hard trying to find people to teach and we are trying to work with Less Active Members, so we will see how that goes! 
      I wanted to share a story, that someone gave in their testimony on Sunday:
 A Teacher had an empty jar and filled it with rocks and asked the class if it was full, they said yes
then he got pebbles and put them in the same jar, and asked the students if it was full now, and of course they said yes. 
Then he got sand, and put it in the jar and asked if it was full, and they said that for sure it was full!
Then he got water and put it in the jar and asked them if it was full, and of course they said yes, now it was completely full. 
Our life represents the jar, we've got work, and school and family, and other responsibilities and sometimes it feels like we don't have time for all the things we have to do, but if we prioritize then we will. 
We can't fill the jar with water first, because we wouldn't have room to fit anything else. 
So in our lives we have to prioritize. We must put the Gospel First. Putting God first will help us accomplish all that we have to and when we do that we are happier! I know it!! 
Hope you all have a great week!
