  • Dear friends and family,

    Thank you so much for the letters I got this week! It brightened several "rainy" days to hear from you, and I am glad that people are still reading this thing!

    Today we went to the LA Temple, and it was just amazing. I haven't felt this happy in a long time. It was spiritual and fulfiling, but I was also happy because of the people I got to see whom I hadn't seen in a while and who I won't see for quite some time. (Elder Gersbach, Elder Murdock, Elder Hardman, Elder Atamanzyck, Sister German, to name just a few). The whole experience just had me on cloud 9. I got so much out of it.

    Sunday I spoke in the Walnut Park ward. It wasn't what I had expected or what I had hoped for, but it couldn't have been too bad because the Chino Heritage Ward asked me to speak on the 19th. One thing that was disapointing was that 2 of the 8 investigators I was expecting came to church. If you promise to be somewhere, you should be there!!!

    As the transfer winds down to a close, I have so many emotions running through me. I am certainly Elder Emo right now. It is thrilling and horrifying at once.

    Can't wait to see you all again,

    Elder Embree
