Fortunately I have been ok but some missionaries have had to evacuate because of how close the fires got. Luckily they made it out safely and they are safe and sound with other missionaries.

Anyways, this week we had a couple of service projects this week and even a lot of member lessons. The members in our ward are solid and love to serve the Lord. Their faith is really strong and they just want to come back to church like the rest of us. This week we had the opportunity to talk to two older ladies in our apartment complex.
