What a delightful week we have had, sharing missionary experiences with our missionaries! Sister Hammon and I had the privilege to
attend the baptism of Miguel of the Del Rey Ward.

| Miguel and his family, Elder Patterson, and Elder Eldridge |
Jesus of the
Mt. Rubidoux Ward was also baptized on Sunday afternoon.
 |
| Sister Rodriguez, Sister Trocoso, Jesus, Sister Reagan |
Hermana Padilla and Hermana Buitrago gave an inspiring
restoration presentation in the Barrio Del Rey;
Elder Balls and Elder Day gave
an equally inspiring restoration presentation during the Mt. Rubidoux Ward
baptism. What great baptisms! .
Both Elder Ly (Mt. Rubidoux) and
Elder Jones (Del Rey)
each gave incredible vocal musical numbers.

| Sisters Marks, Brereton, DiPietro, and Price |

What was impressive was how participatory, engaged, and knowledgeable they were. Each of them had experiences that have helped them become better and effective missionaries. Many of the trainer missionaries said they had learned more as trainers than perhaps the trainees did.

| The whole group. |
President Hammon continued having wonderful interviews
with several missionaries throughout the Mission and was impressed with them. While President
interviewed the missionaries, Sister Hammon talked to them about their favorite
scripture and shared milk and cookies. These missionaries are just incredible
young people who have a drive to do the Lord’s work.
We love serving in the California Riverside Mission!
