  Hey! Hows it goin? This week was a good week, as always. This week was full of fun times and miracles. We had tons of great lessons and I am so greatful I have been able to see the progression of some people. We have one friend named Biranida who is going through a ton right now and speaks mixteco. She was so shy when we first met her and now she is all in. She came to church and brought her family and loved it. She is reading the book of mormon and watching the videos we send her and loves it. I have seen her completely change her behavior and everything into such an excited person it is amazing. Maria is doing amazing, she has sone problems with somethings requiref for baptism but there are so many miracles with her. From the time we set her on date, we have seen so many miracles with her situation and she is going to be able to be baptized I know it. Please pray for them. Ismael is doing good too, we will see what happens. We sang in a nursing center as a district and it was r...

  Hey! Hows it goin!? This week was a good week as always. Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🦃 Last monday wasnt a full preparation day so I wasnt able to write anything but today I can get a short email in! I had 3 exchanges this week and it was so fun! First was with Elder Ruesch and it was good. We were on bikes and it was super windy and it was so hard to bike haha. Took us like an hour to get to where we were going. Next I went on an exchange with Elder Larsen! We were in a trio my first transfer in the mission and it was so fun to be back with him. Lots of spiritual experiences with him and it was so fun to learn from him and have fun. You already know we went to bdubs. Next was with Elder Beasley, it was an awesome exchange as well. We had a personal purity zoom with all the Elders in the mission and it was amazing. We then went straight to a lesson with Maria and taught the things we learned in the zoom and then set a baptismal date! There was a pachaga outside her house the entire l...

  Hey! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always. This week was another busy week and it was and felt a little different. I got slightly sick on tuesday and it stuck with me for the entire week. It wasnt very fun, but we kept going. We met lots of cool people once again but lots of our friends got sick as well so we didnt have some of our reoccuring visits. It is also getting pretty cold here, we are down to the 40s probably during the evening and it hasnt been good for my sickness.  First I wanted to talk about how much the lord is using us here in the area. We have given more priesthood blessings than I ever have. To other missionaries, to ward members, to those in need. It has been amazing to watch the Lord work through us. We also had zone conference this week which was fun. We all had a good time and we talked about baptism and spiritual gifts so it was good. Still been having tons of Spanish calls and I just wish I could do more for some of these Elders and the...

  Hey! Hows it going!? This week was a good week... as always. This week we had another crazy busy week and we have worked harder than ever before. We havent had time for lots of studies even and it is a great change of pace. We met some really amazing people and our top progressor right now is Asuncion. We found her by a straight miracle once again and we have now taught her the first 2 lessons. We brought members and it is amazing to watch her during lessons. She sits and lets the holy ghost teach her like I have never seen. She believes everything we teach and loves us over. This week she is sick but the next 2 weeks ill give you an update.  We have been doing all of our studies outside of the apartment which is awesome. We go to the Oxnard library now or starbucks because I still have a spanish call a day and we have met some pretty interesting people haha. We have run into some people who are a little more aggressive and not all the way there that make for some good stori...
