Back in Training! Wahoo!

Another awesome week in Cali and things just keep getting better.  My training has been on "pause" since we left Nicaragua but now that we're having transfers here tomorrow ill be able to finish my last six weeks of training with Hermana Ruiz! So now I have two mommas!! Hermana Melendez (my other comp) is going home to Texas and I am so so sad because I'm going to miss her so much! 
Two of our investigators Jenny and Anthony came to church this Sunday and loved it! Jenny is so so smart& spiritual and basically takes over gospel doctrine class at church.  She missed her last baptism date but we're hoping to set a new one soon!  Anthony is 15 and he is the best!! He is progressing but very slowly, he reads prays and comes to church but has a little trouble understanding everything. He's bisexual but has committed to keep the law of chastity, which has been hard for him but a huge step forward. Our investigator Roxanne is pregnant and wants to raise her baby in the gospel. She says she knows all of these things are true but is struggling to come to church.  Every time she says she won't let us down and she'll be there! But something always comes up!
Today we took a tour of South valley farms.  Here in California they produce almonds and all of the land is owned by the LDS church. So tons of the members here work for South valley farms.  San Joaquin Valley is know for it's agriculture there are tons and tons of fields. We get all kinda of foods from our investigators and members including blueberries, almonds, pistachios, cherries, grapes, strawberries, and tons of other fresh foods.  Also Wasco the town I'm serving in now used to be the rose capitol of the world which is not surprising because there are fields and fields of roses.
Here's some random pictures from the past 3/4 weeks! Sorry I'm still terrible at emailing! But have a wonderful week! I'll try to send another email next week!
Love,
Hermana Frank
