La Noche Internacional

Hey! Hows it goin??


This week was a good week, as always.

This week we saw some ups and downs and we are having a great time but not a ton of progression is going on. Candy and Kevin, 2 kids we are teaching, cancelled this week and Cristian is still slammed with work. 

If you all remember Lupio, he came to sports night and has great fellowship now with la banda! Lots of Banda members have got new jobs and it's diminished a little but we are still holding out!! Anyways, lupio got hospitalized this week for tons of medical issues. It was so sad. He texted us asking for help and saying he needed to go to the hospital but we couldn't do anything because we are missionaries 😥. Don't worry we got the help he needed and he got released from the hospital 2 days ago! We are passing by in a couple days. 

We had appartment inspections and they loved the cleanliness, again. We got an ant problem tho so we bought some liquid ant traps and now there's just piles of dead ants😂. We also had FANTASTIC weather this week! It was in the 80s and cloudy and we loved it. We still had to do lots of things indoor which sucked but I am so grateful. 

On Saturday, the branch had a huge party called la noche internacional. Everyone here is from a different place, so they throw a huge party and there are tables for each place!! We had perú, mexico, guatemala, el salvadro etc. All different types of food and dances and singing it was SO much fun!! The branch here really is amazing. Even though there was some contention before, they really know how to throw a party! 

On Sunday we met a homeless man that pulled up to the parking lot named segio. Crazy story is that the elders talked to him in Oxnard about a month ago and sent him over to us. He says he is a member but he is not haha. But, we brought him to church!! Haha he pulled up and we took him inside and stayed for the entire time. Apparently he has caused problems before here but we will see. 
Today we did a really cool hike and crawled through a bunch of tunnels. Pics below

This week on... WhAt WE CoOkINg??

This week was bomb. We made...
Fresh Ground Beef Philly cheese stakes with a soft toasted bun. So good oh man. 
I also made some bomb fettuccine Alfredo

For a quick thought, I was reading about God's love vs Laws. I found this quote from President Nelson. "Real love does not support self destructing behavior" 
God's love does not justify sin yet his love is unconditional. 

I will send more pictures from la noche internacional and such next wee as well, have to get them from others. 
I think thats all I have for this week, I hope you all have a wonderful week and stay safe and happy!!

  Hey!  Hows it going???  This week was a good week, as always. This week was actually really interesting to say the least haha. Had its ups and downs and some weird intereactions. BUT... We got transfers news!! I was informed that I will be Staying!! I will be getting a new companion as well named Elder Nunley! Funny thing is that Elder Nunley was companions with Elder Nelson, (who I trained), in the Mtc! Elder Nunley was also trained by Elder Larsen who was in the trio with me in my first companionship!! Elder Larsen is for real the best so I am excited to get his trainee. We have transfers  this tuesday  so I will let you know next week what is up. I was also asked to be the Spanish Elder Training Leader. I will miss Elder Krenkel for sure. We really enjoyed the area together. Elder Krenkel is actually going to Camarillo where I just was! This area is really just chosen of the Lord and when you are out and about, you see it. Everyone is still progressing real...

  Hey everyone!!! Excuse my punctuation and grammar this email because I am typing on my phone and it doesn't function sometimes soooooo haha. This week, super busy once again because you know me and my companion!!! Super good week packed of work. Ill start with some of our friends. Angel and Isabella they went to their dads house in san diego so we could not put them on date but we still are close. We took a hit this week because lots of people are leaving for christmas. Ramon is leaving the 5th as you know and not coming back for a month which sucks but it's ok. Transfers are really really close too. This is the last week of the transfer. Yea crazy I know. So i might move and get a new companion but i hope i stay with Elder Skinner. We are working really hard and have found some awesome people this week.   We did service for a hoarder today and oh boy was that rough haha. Stuff everywhere and dust and oh my gosh so bad. We tried but she wanted to keep every little thing like...

  Hey!  Hows it going?? This week was a good week, as always We got a lot done and a lot happened this week again. I will jump into it and talk about Gabriela. She finally got out of Quarantine, like I think I mentioned last time, and we called and set up a visit! The next day we got fellowship figured out for her and did our best to work through the rule of 3 and driving and availability. We were going to give her a church tour, even though it would have been a little weird because we meet in the tiny room in the back ahah. We set everything up... and she got hospitalized again. She had problems with her stomach and she got hospitalized. I don't know what is going on.  Miracle came out of that... kind of. A member was able to bring their family some food again so that was awesome. We also got a call from the mission office saying that Elder Nelly had a package he needed to get from the mission office because it was his birthday!! So since the visit fell we were able...
