  Hey! Hows it goin!? This week was a good week, as always.  Literally there are so many miracles happening left and right ill jump into a cool miracle. So we recieved a call from the ward mission leader that he needed us to pass by someone without him knowing he sent us. Passed by and he wasnt there but felt guided and went to the top of this liquor store and knocked this door and this lady answered and she was so nice so we set up a return visit and left her with a pamphlet. Passed by again and she read the pamphlet and had tons of questions it was awesome!! She was super interested and the spirit was so strong so we left her with a Book of Mormon after we taught her the plan. As we walked back to the car, we found the man that we were looking for before! Secret mission completed. Right place at the right time and definitely being guided. The 4 man is super fun, we make videos and cook etc. Although its a little messy we do our best. We love hanging out and we are having so ...

  Hey! Hows it goin?? This week is a good week, as always. So I am here in Oxnard finally and it is so much fun I am so grateful to be here. I am going to miss those members back in simi but I will go back and visit every single one of them.  Here in Oxnard we have 5 spanish companionships working in the same area so they usually make area boundries for what companionship stays in what part of the area. At the beginning of the week we came together and made the area boundaries with the zone leaders. We opened up a new area here so we had no information or records or anything. We started off and walked quite a bit and holy cow there are so many people here it is so crazy!! We have met so many cool people and have had so many little funny experiences and cool experiences. The ward here is amazing too. I arrived and as I do, I got to know the ward and they were asking what time they could come help for visits and asking about dinners and other things it was awesome. Although its ...

 Hey! Hows it goin!? This week was a super interesting week lets get into it. First things first is that the beginning of the week was pretty bad. The work was slow and I recieved some bad news back home that certain people weren't being honest with me with some situations back home. But... a quote from general conference stuck out to me this week.  "Through his infinite atonement, you can forgive those who have hurt you and who may never accept responsibility for their cruelty to you"  It's true, and I've found peace knowing that I've done all I can on behalf of the lord. He will take care of you if you put your trust in him.  We had a little banda get together which was awesome and had some great food! We then did a hike instead of sports night this week and it was awesome!! We had an awesome party with Rocio and Julio and had cake and viva la pasta which is SO good and so much food it was so fun. I love the members here so much. They treat me like family. A...
