Miracles in the Work!!!

This week we got 3 new investigators, so now we have a total of 4 investigators that we’re actively teaching. Two out of our four investigators have set a date for baptism!!! And we've gotten a few referrals for potential investigators as well!

The Oakland Temple:
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle stick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 5:14-16

Oakland Sistas!

Last Monday we went to the USS Hornet as a district. One of the less active members we visit used to serve on the ship.

Pilot Ready Room. This is where the pilots would sit when they were being briefed before takeoff

Carrier Landing Grades. The pilots of each squadron were graded on every landing they made. Red = bad!

I'm glad missionaries aren't forced to sleep like this!

Hanger Deck with different aircraft and helicopters on display.

A-4 Skyhawk painted as an 'Agressor' aircraft. Used to mimic Russian fighters for air combat training.

On July 24, 1969, the U.S.S. Hornet was used to recover the Apollo 11 Command Module.

And I thought the beds on the ship were cramped. I can't believe the astronauts spent close to two weeks inside!

Apollo 'Couch' the astronauts sat in for launch and splash down.

When the U.S.S. Hornet picked up the crew of Apollo 11, they didn't know if the astronauts has been exposed to anything dangerous in space so they were equipped with a Mobile Quarantine Facility made out of a modified Airstream Trailer.

Does anyone know what this is? (LOL)

We were at the Oakland Temple Visitors Center on Easter night so we didn't go to a member’s house even though tons asked us if we had plans. But some members brought food to church for us to eat that night.

I guess my email is really short but that kind of sums up this week. :)

I hope you all had a great Easter!!  

Love you all!! <3
