  Hey how's it goin!? This week was a good week, as always. This week was a lot better than the other weeks. We ended up finding some really interested people which is so good for us and them of course.  Lets start of with Somis once again. We drove this time so that was good haha. We drove a ton and we never left our area but we had dots closer to Santa Paula than Camarillo haha. We went up in the mountains and oh boy I gotta say that Somis is actually quite nice! Population is microscopic but they have gardens galore and they had a botanical garden there which is sooooo cool!! Perfect for a wedding so if anyone back home is looking for a place then I got you😂😂. So we drove up there, knocked some dots and we knocked this dot and her kid just starts throwing up as we are talking to her through the window. Literally out of no where just barfs all over. So we told her we can come back haha. The next thing is that, last time we went up to somis, we walked very far and knocked t...

  Hey!! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always. Lots of crazy stuff happened this week not going to lie so here we go.  First thing is that we had 2 exchanges this week. One with the zone leaders and the other with the district leader. They both were a good time and we had a fun experience. My first exchange, with my district leader's companion, was crazy. First thing to say is that we were blessed to receive some amazing gifts from people in the streets helping us out with some carta food and supporting us as missionaries. Then, a huge building lit up in flames and burned down really close to where we live. We drove over to watch it burn and we watched the freeway become engulfed in flames next to the building. Got way closer than we should have but it was very cool watching ashes fall from the sky and such.  Next thing is that we walked to a place called Somis. Basically, me and my companion thought it would be fun and also a good idea (...

  Hey!! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week as always. We grinded this week and we did a ton of walking and we did a ton of contacting. We walked for probably about 6 hours a day this week and it reached 110 degrees this week. we have now touched almost every single dot in our area book now and we are still on the grind. We are still fully booked with lessons but we always always always stop by and they either arent there or something comes up. It is a little tough. We still have had some great visits though. Lourdes is doing great and we have another visit with her today. She is progressing really well and she has had some very weird dreams and such. The tribe of manasseh, you know what I am saying?? She is doing really well though, she is suppperrr nice and has lots of interest. The lessons go a little slower but not going to lie, I like them like that. She retains the information really well and she is very excited to learn and you can watch her face light up as w...

  Hey!! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week as always. We did a lot of the same old stuff as missionaries do. This area is 10x more safe and calm as my last area though let me tell you. I wont have too many crazy stories for a few transfers so sorry everyone. The work here though is good!!  We have called every single person in our area book and we have knock more than 1/2 of the people we have in it as well! It is a straight grind. We have taught a lot of lessons and there are some people who really seem to have interest!! Still filtering through many but that's the work.   This week we didn't do too much. We had lots of meetings because they came out with a new adjustment program for new missionaries that we are trying out in our mission. So we had lots of meetings and we also had general conference so it was a meeting week. We also had some new missionary follow up training. But, the work still continued and we had lots of visits!! We...
