Daniel continues to serve in Simi Valley. He writes that there are 24 missionaries serving in Simi Valley. He works in the Simi Valley 3rd ward. After six plus months, he writes "I am a ward member now and cannot leave they say."
Daniel has worked with three different companions thus far. He has enjoyed working with everyone of them. "Everyone you meet has something to offer which I can learn from."
Not long after Daniel arrived in the mission field, he had the opportunity to baptize a sweet lady named Charlotte. Sister Charlotte had investigated the church for several months. In teaching Charlotte, Daniels says they reviewed the commandments and made a point of just being a friend. Charlotte entered the waters of baptism at 77. She joins a daughter and son-in-law as members of the Church.
Daniel is currently excited about a new investigator he describes as "Golden". He says, "I have got to tell you of an awesome miracle. We had a solid, golden investigator at church. We made fellowship for her and she had a good time. We taught her the restoration at the door and scheduled a follow-up appointment. . . . . She liked the lesson on the Plan of salvation and said it makes sense. I love that about the gospel--it makes sense and when people take the time to listen to us and not put up blocks they will know the truth of the Book of Mormon and the Gospel. Her name is Dichelle Harris, she is great! She is reading the Book of Mormon believes it is true and wants to be baptized. We will be setting her with a date next time we see her!"
Finally Daniel writes "I love this mission and the experiences I am having. I want everyone at home to know how much I love and miss them. Also, I know the Gospel is true and the fullness of the Gospel is found in this Church. Jesus is the Savior, the Redeemer of the world. He did the work the Father sent him to do and he continues to labor with us today!"
