Word of Wisdom and the Yoga instructor

                                                 Backyard of Auberry missionaries home.



Hey dad! Thanks for the pictures of Mike and scout camp. I'm glad Joey is having fun and getting work done. Tell Josh that he is superrrr lucky that he wasn't hurt but that will be a cool story to tell his friends.

Last Monday I had exchanges with Elder Furness and we went to Auberry which is out in the country part of our mission. All they had was a little super market, couple of restaurants and a CVS.  That  was it! We went and visited a 95 year old man named Charles and he has been a yoga instructor for 45 years (he also eats super healthy and does 2 hours of yoga a day). We taught him the Word of Wisdom and he didn't have anything bad to say about it and completely agreed with it. It was neat to see how he understand why we live by it and the benefits it brings to him.

We have a baptism planned for Jeremiah this coming Saturday and our mission president is interviewing him sometime this week. Jeremiah is really excited about it and he tells people he is Mormon even though he's not one officially haha!  How cool is that!  We got a new investigator named Carole.  She came to church this Sunday and liked the principles that were being taught. we plan on seeing her this Saturday and her baptismal date is in August.

Other than that not much else happened this week. Hope everyone is doing great! And make sure you or Josh take Ralphie on walks.

PS koki tepukokoemia puaka = the stomach is full and the pig sleeps ....our ward mission leader taught me that word. He served his mission in New Zealand in the same area as my trainer Elder Fisi'ihoi....tell grandma he Elder fisi'ihoi got her package and he likes it a lot.

Love,
Elder DeMarco
