Goodmorning San Diego! [huh?] Today is a great day, we found a place that sells A&W Root beer!! haha my comp and elder deckers comp do not like it, but we are in heaven right now. And papa johns is doing a deal for cheapish pizza! so yeah we ate really good today. its nice having pday, and this sounds weird, but i actually love cleaning. [This mom will be framing that last sentence]. having a clean house makes me feel at peace<3.  
so my week was pretty interesting......a freaking dog bit me twice! it was really chill and came up to us and i started petting it, then we were talking to this woman at her front door and she rejected us hard core, and then i was walking away and the dog bit my leg and then my butt! it happened really fast haha but no worries i am ok. my pants are ruined though, that sucked. yesterday we went up to santiago to get rabies shots and it was actually super easy!  but i have to get 4 more shots!  in our sector, we have found this part where almost everybody is nice and they listen to us and they are just great people! we have several new investigators from last week so that makes me happy:) the days are going by so dang fast, its insane. and now the heat is back and i miss the cold! haha. this summer is going to be really hot! oh and I AM SO HAPPY FOR CAMILLE. that is the coolest thing ever!!

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Listen Here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPKpkrqBwNs
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
I'll praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I come
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above
Music: John Wyeth
Arranged by, Jenna Mosley

Morning of Elder Fairbourn's 19th birthday!
