Hello everybody!,

   What an amazing week it has been. Sister Anderson is awesome and we have been able to work together pretty well in Kerman. We found tons of new investigators and blew our goals out of the water this week by teaching about 40 lessons! It was so awesome. We have a baptism coming up for the 25th of this month! His name is Cesar Martin. He has changed so much since we met him and has been coming to tons of our church activities and church! He loves going and says he wants to be married in the temple. That made us both pretty happy! When we gave him the church tour he said he is ready to be baptized! Wahoo! 

   I was able to go on exchanges this week in Madera with the Valentine YSA sisters. How different YSA! (young single adults) They are literally our age. I felt a little more intimidated but I enjoyed it a lot because we can relate so easily to them. 

 Last Monday we were headed to the gym to play Volleyball with some members when we realized we locked the keys in the car. That was an adventure because we ran to the church and asked to borrow a phone.. yeah we didn't have that either. Anyways the Assistants came down and gave us a spare and then we all celebrated with pizza. It was all well in the end!  

  I got sick a few nights ago and the Elders gave me a blessing. I literally stayed up until 2 am struggling to sleep and feeling dizzy and sick. It was not a good night but the next day I felt better and was back out traveling to Fresno! 

  Anyways, so happy for the knowledge of Eternal Families. There is so much hope in knowing that we can always be with our loved ones forever and that death has no sting. We know because of the perfect plan of Jesus Christ that we can be together and happy. I learned a lot this week that I need to keep my chin up through thick and thin I have the greatest gift of all . A gift that can never be taken away and that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that he loves us and that it is only through and with Christ that we can achieve perfection. He already chose us. We MUST choose him. There is no better person to trust. Lots of love hope everyone enjoys there Valentines Day. Cherish every relationship and be happy!
Love,

Hermana Pachner
