{Letter #22} "What is Your Name? No, I Don't Do That."

 Hello everyone!!!

Most normal week in missionary work in a while!

We had some great lessons this week!
Found some new really cool friends!

Saw two guys tip their friend in a portapotty ( he was okay)
🌇
Saw some of the prettiest sunsets ever!!!
Also the weather here is perfect 

😇
So grateful for the members this week they are the best!
We have like 5 or so members who help us everyday and there are about 4 sets of missionaries in the ward so some of them are having 2-3 lessons a day
We also had a couple extra member meals this week which is always fun

Tried to make a video...

Celebrated 5 months

Made it La Colonia for a couple friend visits ( an apartment complex in the elders area that is apparently like a mini mexico)

What has Jesus done for you?
Does he know that you know?

Spiritual thought 🫶

Gethsemane

He went willingly because he loves you. I know that you can access strength and power in every moment through atonement of Jesus Christ. Something I was thinking about last week during Sacrament meeting is the word "all"

This week was hard but I'm finding a lot of comfort knowing that I and those I love have a Savior who suffered willingly so that we could access his love unto the power of deliverance
That power can never be lost it really is for all of Gods children at any point in their lives

{Letter #19} "God Loves You"

 I get to stay in Oxnard!!!🐂

With the Hermana Crawford!!

I'm very excited about it!

This week was so good president came to our district council on Monday and I almost passed out I was so nervous because it's all in Spanish and I had to talk and do a lesson in front of him-- worst lesson of my mission but he was nice about it.

Everything is pretty much the same this transfer
EXCEPT I'M NOT IN A FOUR MAN ANYMORE
and we are so sad about it 

We have a few new friends we're working with and they're so cool
There are so many miracles in missionary work
We had a meeting with Elder Bednar

It was so spiritually uplifting

It was just him members of the seventy and our mission and he gave us like 3-4 hours to talk and ask questions it was a very cool opportunity
I think that is all for this week it was a good one!! :)
Spiritual thought this week

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

I love this reminder to ask your questions. Questions are not a bad thing they actually help us learn.
Elder Bednar teaches by questions. A question found is much more helpful than a question given. God wants to hear our questions when we ask him he can help us grow
