Hey everyone!
Don't have much time today. We're about to go down the hill to Rancho Cucamonga for sisters exchanges. I am a little nervous because I have to get used to another companion and a different area already! The work in the area I'm going to be in for the next couple days, Mesalinda, is REALLY different from what I've been experiencing in Spring Valley Lake. I talked to the companion that I'll have and she says that they are completely booked with appointments tonight and tomorrow. NO TRACTING! YAY!! We have had literally one appointment during the entire three weeks we've been here. I'm not complaining, because we're still busy doing other things, but I'm excited for the opportunities to teach investigators. It will be interesting to see how exchanges go.
We had an interesting experience last night. We were invited to sing at an interfaith music festival. There are some...interesting religions out there. It was held at a Nithyananda Vedic Temple. I think it's one of those yoga religions. Everyone was very nice. It was interesting to listen to some of the religions out there express their beliefs through music. There was a jewish guy, not a rabbi, but something else, some unitarians, and lots of other groups I had never heard of. There was one guy who told us that if he didn't sing every morning the sun wouldn't rise. I don't remember what he was. It was fun though. The whole experience made me so thankful for the things I know to be true. We sang 'Where Can I Turn For Peace' and 'A Child's Prayer'. The people who worship at this Vedic temple insisted on giving us lots of curry after. It was very spicy.
Since we would just have to come back down to Rancho Cucamonga today, they made all of us high desert sisters stay down here with some of the other sisters. There was a dog. A little dog, I could tell by the bark. I wanted to kill it. It decided that it would rather bark than sleep at about 10:30, conveniently. It would bark for about 10 minutes. Then stop. Then start back up again 2-5 mintues later. I was getting so annoyed. I think it finally stopped around 1ish because that's when I fell asleep. I am so happy that no one around my house in Spring Valley Lake lets their dog bark all night long. I think a lot of people would wake up and find their dogs missing if they did.
Well that's all I've got time for because we've got to run to the mission home. Love you all!
