{Letter #41} "We are not fretting."

Good morning πŸŒ„

Exchanges with Hermana Olaveson
Santa Paula is iconic. We had a lesson with a few super awesome friends.

Went to a birthday party for Alan!!  (more pics below)
We watched conference with Alma and her family and Eliecer! It was so fun.

All in spanish...so If I mention something that you didn't hear, I probably didn't hear it either.

Learned a missionary skill I have-
RECYCLING πŸ‘©‍🌾
let me explain
So basically here in Cali people dig through trash to find recyclable things. And then they like recycle them and make money πŸ’°

Now that's got nothing to do with me and that's got nothing to do with missionary work right?
False
For those of you who don't know I quite enjoy using plastic water bottles (fun fact) and generally have a small collection of said plastic water bottles somewhere in my near vicinity.
This week I've found a great joy in contacting through stopping the people digging through trash and offering them my plastic water bottles! Great fun. Would reccomend.

Weird random and good highlights
-pug puppies
- hiking with friends
- Made the worst pumpkin bread one has ever consumed (didn't have sugar) ever but fed it to other missionaries anyway
-I was famous for a prayer
- I got lost in a members yard and they laughed at me
-I gave a talk at church and I didn't want to cry after
- Our dear friend Enrique bought us jello because he said said I looked mad at him.
- ELIECER
-a man painted us a picture of Jesus because he always sees us walking around the area pic below it's so cool 


Something I loved from conference is that we always have a choice how we react. I don't remember who said it but we don't get to choose what happens in our lives or what others do. But we can always choose how we react and to be peacemakers. It makes me think of this scripture which I adore.

" Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you."

Choose God in each circumstance and he will fight for us.

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


I love you! God loves you! 🫢🫡
