Departing Sister

 Dear Parents,

On 6 Jul 2022, Sister Olivia Carol Brunner will return home after having served an honorable and successful mission in the California Los Angeles Mission.

Sister Egbert and I love Sister Brunner. You can be very pleased with the contribution that Sister Brunner made while serving in the California Los Angeles Mission. She has blessed the lives of many, including those who have accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ as a result of her efforts and those she has helped to return to activity within the Lord's kingdom. Her name will be remembered by many for generations to come. She has grown in her testimony of the Savior and in her ability to work with people. We also have been deeply touched by her service in the mission, and we trust you were greatly blessed through her labor.

Sister Brunner will be part of our lives forever. Sister Egbert and I are grateful for all she has done to help the Lord hasten His work of salvation. Our prayer is that she will continue to grow in faith and good works as she continues to serve our Heavenly Father.

Sister Egbert joins me in thanking you for all your sacrifice and love, that helped Sister Brunner serve so well.

Sincerely,

John J. Egbert
President
California Los Angeles Mission

I have been a missionary for 17 months. My time as a missionary is sadly coming to end. Making me really reflect on my mission and the service I have given. Sleeping has been very hard because it's hard to sleep and when I sleep I Dream about the mission. But I have been loving every second. Elder Pingree came and spoke to our mission it was very inspiring. We had a huge miracle by Zoila coming to church and she brought her son David. It was so amazing because we have been trying to get her to church since HNA siete and I found her so for 2 transfers but we had an amazing lesson and it really clicked and she said she wants to come to church every week. 

Alejandra and the whole family came to the father's day activity which was a huge miracle!

My plan

 Saw some pretty amazing miracles! The visitor center was so good this week that we were able to give lots more Spanish tours. Yesterday Hna Osguthorpe and I were both on different tours. The tour I gave was with two elders and their friends Christina and a member. The tour was very much guided by the spirit we talked about eternal families and baptism she was very accepting. While watching one of the videos I asked the elders if they would have a baptismal date in mind and they didn't so they quickly looked on the calendar. And at the end of the tour, they invited her to be baptized and she accepted! And the very end of the tour she said the prayer and she started crying and said it was because she was being overwhelmed with good feelings. We told her that was the holy ghost. Such a good tour.

We taught Jesus this past week he's getting better. He said he will come to the VC this week! So we hope he continues to get better. 

We had a lesson with Alejandra and her family and she invited her cousin and her son! And it was such a cool experience because she told us the next day that she received personal revelation that she needs to talk to her son! That she hasn't spoken with since over a year. And she did! And she said it was amazing. She said she wants to go to church and keep meeting with us. And she came to church on Sunday! 

I had my Plan interview. (For those who don't know returning missionaries have to take a course called my plan to help us prepare for the real world and dating and marriage haha) and I had my interview with president Galindo.
