{Letter #25} "Happy, Happy Father's Day"

 Hola!   
Sooo after a couple restless nights anticipating transfers Thursday hit and I'm officially out of Oxnard 🤯

I love and miss Oxnard but I was pretty confident I was leaving so I got to say goodbye to our friends and members 

Said goodbye to Hermana Crawford as well which was so sad 

We find out about transfers in an email at 6:30am on Thursdays

    -it tells us to pack or not and what your assignment is Jr or Sr comp and everything


Then if you're leaving, you pack and meet at the mission office at 2. Then they'll tell you where you're going and who your comp is. Then you leave.

Me and Sister Hatch were comps for about 1-2 hours and had a lovely road trip....

A protest we saw along the way...

 to SANTA BARBARA!!

 It is beautiful!    I've only been here a couple days but the ward is so precious and I am with Hermana Olaveson who I lived with in a four man apartment my first my 1st transfer and she's the cutest literally so excited!!! 

We have some really really cool friends and members that have been so fun to meet.

Santa Barbara is this super pretty beach town. It's kind of unreal. There are so many flowers and palm trees and it's super hilly. 

We do a lot more english finding here which is an adjustment but can also be fun!! 

Highlights-
-I got to call my dad!!
-SANTA BARBARA 

-Two very cool female friends!!!!!
-Got apples :) 

:And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them."

We talked all about gifts from god the past couple of weeks in church! Something I was thinking of is that sometimes we tend to compare our gifts to others and become discouraged or embarrassed to share them. But I'm learning that each of us have enough. We have many gifts that are from God and he's asking you not to deny them and share them. Give what you have and God will give you far more than you could imagine!! 

Email me I love hearing from y'all HAVE THE BEST WEEK. 

I love you! God loves you! 🫶🫵
