  Hey!! Hows it goin!?? This week was a good week full of it all. Many of our friends progressions were slowed because of the holidays. We had trouble having lessons with those who are still interested because of the holiday season they were out of town or had to work double time. It was ok though because we made the best of it and we never dont see the Lords Work halt. Yeimy and Angel are doing ok, we are trying to move things faster for them. Tony is doing good too, had a great visit with him and a member and he just needs some time. Karla got another job and is working double time all the time it is tough but we keep trying. Our friend luis is doing fantastic as well! He is reading in the book of mormon and wants to continue to learn and grow. Pray for them!! We had zone conference which was super spiritual. Each district created their own little program based off of a topic about Jesus Christ given by the mission President. We got Christ Visits the Americas and so we combined 3...

  Hey! Hows it goin!?🎄🎄 This week was a good week, as always We had some exciting times with some Exchanges and some great work! We had Exchanges with some awesome elders. Had a great fun exchange with Elder Packard and a great opportunity to be back with Elder Skinner for a few hours and it was a great time and a great learning experience as it is always. One thing I loved was the drive up to ojai. I used to take that drive all the time a year ago and I got to drive to ojai from ventura instead of santa paula and it was awesome. The trees, fresh air and night sky are something I love and miss. Grateful for the drive for sure We saw many miracles with timing situations and some of our friends. We had 4 friends to church which was a huge step for some of our friends. Please pray for Karla, jaimy, Angel, and Tony. We have a christmas zone conference tomorrow which is super exciting. We made a song for it that we will be singing so Im excited. Spanish Elder Training Leader is going ...

  Hey! Hows it goin!? This week was a good week, as always.  This week was full of once in a life time experiences and great memories. Lets start at the beginning with Mission Leadership Council. It was great to see all my mission friends once again and with permission of President, after the council, I was in a trío in my area with my companion Elder Williams and another companion from Oxnard! He was put in my area with my comp so I could go to the council then picked up after 9 so it was a great treat to have Elder Rosenlund for the day who is also in his 2nd transfer! The MLC was great as I listened to President Carter talk and Sister Carter, I felt the spirit so strong as we talked about Christ and his sheep.  Next was an opportunity to teach 33 people in the fields with a friend from Oxnard who is about to be Baptized. He invited us over to his job and gathered all of his coworkers and we got to teach them! Such an amazing spirit to see a Young soon to be Member so e...

  Hey! Hows it goin??  This week was a good week, as always.  This week was my first week in Ventura and it is weird being here in some aspects. I started my mission not to far from ventura in the same Zone so I used to do all my shopping and things ventura because I was in a small Town. When I got here, I did what I usually do and I wiped the apartament clean of trash ahah. There was so much trash and random things but then we found a huge Christmas tree!! Super fun and the apartment is super nice so it is going to be good. The área is amazing, set up visits with the Bishop and relief society president and Elders Quorum President and got lots of good info! There is a place called the Avenue which is full of so many people it is crazy. I would say one of the best áreas in the mission.  My comp is Elder Williams and he is in his Second transfer and is from South jordán! He is super cool and fun and we get along great. I got here and they combine 2 áreas so we cover a ...
