Well this week has been a very interesting week. 
My new Companion Elder McConkie, Bruce R. McConkie's great nephew, is great. Moreno Valley is great. I am in the Lasselle ward and it is awesome, the ward isn't as missionary focused as the Lake Elsinore Ward, but the members love us missionaries. 
I had an interesting experience this weekend though, So it was the Moreno Valley Stake Conference, and the missionaries were invited to the adult session of stake conference, and Elder McConkie and I were late getting there and this guy was up speaking and it was the end of the session and I asked Elder McConkie if that was the Stake President and he said "No, I don't know who that is." So we go to conference the next morning and this guy who was speaking comes up and talks to Elder McConkie and I for a few minutes, and by our last names he says you must both be from Utah, both of us said no, he thought that it was pretty interesting that both of us having Prominent LDS last names were companions, but then he went up and sat on the stand. It turns out that he was Elder Smith of the Seventy, that was a pretty interesting feeling realizing that we had just talked to a General Authority. But He is also one of the Seventies in charge of the Southwest United States, and with President Smart on the stand, over the pulpit he said that getting to look at the numbers for missions in the area and around the world, the California Riverside Mission is the Most productive mission in the United States west of the Mississippi river (most Baptisms per Companionship).
It was a great conference and it is great to see the Lord working miracles in this area. We have a baptism this Sunday, and we are Baptizing John the Baptist, Not really but that's his nickname, He is a 75 year old black man who was a devout Baptist for 60 years and now he is getting baptized it is awesome!
I hope everyone is having a great week,
Elder Bangerter
