This past week has been very busy. I picked up 4 new investigators this week. We put 3 on date to get baptized. Tony is a totally awesome guy we tracted into. Brandy and her children we have been trying to see for awhile and we finally were able to go and visit with her. All of her kids are awesome. You can tell these are very good kids. The gospel will be wonderful for these kids. The primary program will help these kids out a lot. Its so amazing to see the Lord's hand in everything that happens. I go in to see the doctor on Wednesday to see whats going on. hopefully it will be good news and not bad.  I had district meeting out in 29 Palms on Tuesday and tomorrow i'm going out to 29 Palms again to go on exchanges with Elder Bailey. i'm pretty excited. Elder Bailey is a really good missionary. On Saturday I have the chance to go to Sam & Mani's Wedding. It was a really awesome wedding. It was held outside and right before the wedding started the clouds rolled in so the sun wouldn't be beating down on everyone. I am totally excited for them. They are awesome. After the wedding we had dinner over at the Huntingtons. I met the Huntingtons at the park a few weeks ago and they invited us to come over for dinner sometime. Their grandson is currently serving his mission in Mexico and they love the missionaries and the church. I got to see their really cool art collection. I really enjoy looking at art so this was super cool. they are totally an awesome family and it was neat to listen to their stories they shared with us. I feel so blessed that we crossed paths so we could become friends. Church yesterday was pretty awesome. The Stephanos gave really good talks and we got to teach a lesson at the church. I feel so lucky to be out here in Yucca Valley there are some of the nicest people I have ever met up here.  My birthday is on Saturday. I'll be 20! Time is flying by way to fast.

Love,

Elder Hunter

This past week has been kinda lame. I have a sinus infection so I have been shut in the house the past 4 days. Last Monday I went to Indian Cove in the national park and went into the cool caves. I felt like I was in a Indiana Jones movie. There were huge boulders and it was pitch black and I had a flash light crawling through all the caves it was really cool. Then the next morning I had interviews with President Smart. It went really good. I like him a lot hes a really cool guy. Then went to go teach a few appointments then after that is when I got sick. :/ oh well. I have Antibiotics now so I'm good. Joyce is on date for baptism. I am so excited for her. This will be an awesome thing for her. Joyce is really awesome. I have enjoyed teaching her and becoming friends with her. Anyways sorry this weeks blog post is short. next week it will be longer I promise!

Hello Everyone! This past week has been busy I have had tons of meetings and stuff like that. On Friday we had to go down to Desert Hot Springs for a zone meeting and then on Tuesday out to 29 Palms for district meeting and then a ward missionary meeting with my ward mission leader. There have been alot of special things happening. On Saturday I had the honor of baptizing David. It was awesome. :) He was so excited to get baptised. His best friend Chris (my recent convert of May) was there totally supporting him 110 % and my other investigator Joyce wanted to see a baptism so we invited her to come check it out. the spirit was so strong during the baptism. After we got out David and I ran into each other out in the hall. He gave me the biggest hug and said thank you so much for doing this for me. He had tears in his eyes and you could tell he was really happy. His non member mother is totally supportive of him in every way. She is a really nice person. She came to church yesterday for the whole 3 hour block. She seemed to really enjoy church alot. When David got the Holy Ghost yesterday during sacrament meeting there was a very special feeling in the room. You could feel Christs love for him and for everyone else so strongly. Now David has his glow about him. He has a light in his eyes. Soon he will be getting the priesthood and he & Chris will be both passing the sacrament.  The both of them are also excited about scouts and all the camping trips this ward does. The gospel is exactly what these young kids need. Yesterday we decided to stop in on this family what we have not seen in awhile. The wife has been going through cancer and chemo.  She did not look good at all. she is so peppy and full of life, and is not letting anything get her down. At the end of our visit she asked me if I could give her a blessing. I felt honored that she asked me to do that. She did not want to take off her bandana all the way becuase she is almost completly bald.  So I gave her a blessing. The blessing was amazing she felt peace and comfort.  Her non member husband was greatful we did this for his wife.  Please keep this family in your prayers.  There has been so much life going on around me down here its always busy for me. I have so many people to teach its awesome. today I will be going out to Joshua Tree National Park again to go Hiking. im going to send pictures soon I promise. I love you all very much and I hope all of you are doing great.  I'm catching up on writing all of you back today.
