Crazy Week, But FUN!!

Well Family,
I have had an interesting week. The first three days were great- we got a lot of work done. Then came Thursday, that was our multi zone conference, it was awesome. President taught us about temptations, and staying focused. It was one of the best ones ever, and then I got to go to CTR Books. I love the environment. Ok, here comes the crazy part of the week, on Friday/Saturday we had the opportunity to go to the Redlands bowl, at the football field and do security and help with the dance festival. 15 stakes from CA did a whole bunch of sweet dances. It was amazing and one of the cool things is that we got to see all of our old companions and fellow missionaries. It was great, it was like a missionary reunion and every one there was Mormon, so they were all really nice to us which is rare in Cal.
So on the way home, when all the members were leaving in there cars they waved out there windows at us because we were walking home(because we live so close). But the bad thing about walking is we were walking home at 11:30pm because it went so late but on the way home we saw a helicopter in the distance that looked fairly close to were we live and as we got closer we met a cop who told us we can’t go to our apartment because there is a killer in your apartment complex running from the cops. So we walked to the park and waited for a long time- by then it was 1:30 am and we turned around to look in the park and we saw a man running full speed right at us with cops chasing him just as fast. By then our ride had just come, so we ran to the car piled in and took off just as he got to us- it was intense. And when we got home, we heard gun shots close by, so I don’t know what happened there but that was a crazy night. Good thing there were four missionaries with us.... but we are safe.
We had a baptism, which was that great. It went perfect the less active husband was reactivated and baptized his wife which completes the family. The president even came. And to make it even better, she has just made a sacred ordinance and then walked out of the church door to see the temple and there next step.
Well family, I am glad that you had a great reunion. I love you and will talk to you in a week.
