Hey what’s up!? This is Elder Carey here, still in Mission Viejo at least for another 6 weeks. Apart from my Greenie area, Mission Viejo will be the longest area that I have had on my mission! Crazy, huh?! I get bounced around a lot. So, this would be the first time in over a year that I have stayed in area for 3 transfers. I am super stoked though because this is an awesome area and an awesome ward! I love it A LOT! I am really excited.

Jueves: We were on the freeway getting off at an exit, when all of the power went out! You may have heard about it. It was so annoying!!! We were in the car for almost 2 hours stuck in traffic, trying to get home. GAH!! It was miserable.
Sabado: We sped over to the church to get ready for the fireside! WOW, it was a HUGE SUCCESS!! I was not expecting it to turn out soooo good. Before every song, we had readers that read scriptural passages from the Book of Mormon about the Savior, and then before the last song, someone was asked to bear testimony. As I performed the last song, we turned all of the lights off, and they prepared a slideshow that they projected on the screen with pictures of the Savior. They had a lamp, so that I could play and sing. It was REALLY POWERFUL, there were a lot of tears! It was super sweet. I arranged all of the songs for the concert, except the last three.
The fireside went like this:
I Believe in Christ on the organ/piano (my comp and I)
Jesus Once of Humble Birth (sister missionary singing/me accompanying)
A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief (Me playing/singing)
Where Can I Turn for Peace? (Relief Society Choir, me accompanying)
How Great Thou Art (Me playing)
Our Savior’s Love/I Feel My Savior’s Love (Missionaries, me accompanying)
In Humility Our Savior (Me playing)
I Stand All Amazed (Me playing/singing)
I Know That My Redeemer Lives (Me playing/singing)

We went over to teach [an investigator]. We brought [a recent convert] w/us, and she threw down, it was AWESOME! Man, there is nothing better than bringing your recent convert with you to lessons. It is the best thing in the world. The lesson was great, and we were really happy.
