Hola!!!! Feliz Navidad

I hope you are all doing amazing. I miss you all very much!!! 

This week has been pretty amazing!!! I made it to 2nd transfers!!!! And I'm staying here in Cam!! And with Hermana Moon!! So that is so exciting!!!! 

We got to go look at Christmas lights during dinner and it was so fun. It was a little cold out, so it was perfect, basically it felt like Christmas in Utah!! 

This weekend we had our Christmas zone conference!!! No words can describe the power of the spirit there. We talked about the Messiah and we got to hear all the missionaries share their testimony of him and his teachings!! What a powerful day!!!! 

On Sunday we had a combined Christmas service with the English, which was really fun!!! We got a few friends there! Then we got to have a little Christmas party with the branch! This branch again is just amazing!!!!!! 

Highlights!!

Spiritual message!!! 

The Lord has provided us with the opportunity to share the gospel on social media and what a joy that is!!! I can testify that social media is an amazing resource to share your testimony. I want to invite you to share your testimony on a social media platform! And focus your platform on Jesus Christ!!!

I'll give you 5 pennies for it.... Week 11

 Holaa!!! 

How is everyone doing!!!! 

This week was pretty amazingg!!! 

Got to go on two exchanges this week which was super fun, and I love getting to see how other people teach!!!

Hermana Moon and I found so many friends and it was so amazing to see God's hand in our lives!! 

We had our Christmas party Friday night which hands down this branch is the best branch on the planet!! We had so many friends come to the party and they connected so well with the members!!! 

Saturday night we got to go to an event in Thousand Oaks called Night in Bethlehem, super amazing experience!! We got to watch the nativity with our branch mission leader and it was awesome to get to know him better, also there were live animals!!!!! And there was this one sheep who literally only was there to eat food

Which brings me to a perfect spiritual Thought!! 

2 Nephi 32:3

3 Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.

Just like that sheep feasted on his food, we must feast as well but not only on food but on the word of God, that we may feel his love and constant guidance in all things we do and say!! 

Anyways, I know that God's plan for us is perfect and if we feast on his words and his guidance we can be overflowing with his light, his love, and his joy! 

Highlights!!!

☆ Christmas ornaments with the activity days!!! 

☆ member meals and Christmas lights!!!!

☆ bikes....!!! 

☆ branch Christmas party!!!! 

☆ Christmas parade!!!!!!

☆ goats, sheep and donkeys!!!!!

 ¡Hola !

Mi familia y mis amigos !!! 

Holy cow where to start with this week…it was pretty crazy! Jaja

Last week started out really good I went on exchanges with Sister Kuli and got to be English for the day!! And after Wednesday I decided I am so grateful for Spanish work.  

(English people are mean…) 

But I also got to be on a bike!!! Which was super fun, I'm grateful for car missions a lot more now but it's so much funnier to talk to random people as you ride around. 

El día de acción de gracias ( day) 

What an interesting day! Started out pretty cool we got to have Thanksgiving lunch with the Beach family and they were so sweet to invite us and some members of the YSA over!!! After the Thanksgiving meal is when our day went straight downhill!! 

We didn't have anything else the rest of the afternoon so we tried to be very productive but it failed, we ended up getting asked for our number and catcalled. In the the time of around 10 minutes and we got the door slammed on our face by a very angry abuela! Not fun! 

With all that we decided to just go back to the apartment and do some phone calls and Facebook! This is where Hermana Moon and I were ready for the day to be over. As we are sitting, doing facebook work, we were being driven crazy by ants randomly appearing on us. We ignored it for a minute but finally Hermana Moon smashed one and went to throw it away when she was horrified by thousands of ants crawling In and around our garbage can leading a perfect line straight to our cleaning Closet! It was terrible, We had just been in the kitchen too and totally missed it!!! 

With lots of prayers, and our good friend Ralph's grocery store, we were able to get them all cleaned up and figured out… 

Anyways the rest of the week was good! Friday was pretty slow and nobody wanted to talk to us but Saturday I went On another exchange with the YSA sister!! 

That was pretty fun we went to the beach!! ( first time I got to see it since being here) and we went to this outdoor mall called the collection! It was all so much fun and Sister Micheal's is just the sweetest! Talking to people my age is kinda weird but the YSA is so fun! 

Spiritual message!!!! 

I just finished Mosiah this week and the scripture Mosiah 26:18 stuck out to me, 

    “Yea, blessed is this people who are willing to bear my name; for in my name shall they be called; and they are mine.” 

We are all children of God!!! What an amazing title We have! Never forget that you are loved and wanted!!! 

Highlights: 

☆ Thanksgiving dinner with the beach’s 

☆ The Beach!!!

☆ beatiful sunsets!!! 

☆ GABBY!!!!! 

☆ on the spot ant killer

I hope you are all doing well!! Me and Hermana Moon are just living in up here in Cali!! 

Nothing to do different from last week! Lots and lots of finding, and lots of lessons! 

We are finally getting to know the area more and meet the members! 

We are the smallest branch and we meet in the relief society room! But hopefully if we get like 10 more members we can meet in the chapel so we are hoping to get that soon…but until then the branch is still amazing and so welcoming! We had a few friends come to church and the ward just scooped them up under their wings and just showed them the ways of the branch!!! 

☆ love our elders so much- and the donut holes they brought us!!! 

☆ we got 4 amigos at church!!! 

☆ first member meal of the mission! Soon so amazing!

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam - Jungle Book Week 7

  Hola mi familia and amigos! 

I finally made it to California!!!! 

This past week has felt so so long but so worth it, finally made it out of the CCM and travelled to Oxnard Cali. We met the president and his wife and a few of the senor Couples! They are all so so amazing and so kind! Then on Thursday I met my companion and trainer Hermana Moon! She is on her 14th month! She has been so so kind and patient, her Spanish is very amazing and she has been helping me a lot with mine! 

Speaking of my Spanish…it's there lol I don't feel like I'm getting worse so that's good but my progress is a very slow incline!

Nothing to exciting has happened this week! 

But I would love to hear from you all and how life back in Utah is! 

Also my first area is Camarillo and it so so pretty already !!!

Spiritual message 

Have faith in Jesus Christ and pray daily! 

We pray a lot on the mission and it truly has been such an uplifting part of my day! So get on your knees And pray and grow your relationship with Christ!

Highlights!!!!

☆ the cutest dog ever, Tyson at one of the members houses 

☆ Saying goodbye to Hermana Leary:( 

☆ Sister Russels random candid photos

☆ Finally being able to cook again ( ft. The homemade sourdough the elders before us left! )

☆ and of course the Book of Mormon and all the wonderful feelings we get from reading it!!!

Adios CCM Week 6 👋👋

I am on my way to Cali!  I'll share more next week.  

I spoke in church on Sunday and bore my testimony.  I will leave it with you. 

Yo se que el jesucristo es mi salvidor y mi amigo , yo se que yo soy una discípulos de jesucristo y Sé que Dios tiene un plan perfecto para todos nosotros. Y sé que si nos esforzamos por ser discípulos constantes de Cristo, seremos bendecidos y nuestras vidas serán mejores.

 Y sé que mi tiempo aquí en MTC siempre será importante para mí y será una base en mi testimonio. ¡Estoy muy agradecida por todos ustedes y especialmente por mi distrito!

Yo Sé que Dios nos ha llamado a donde necesitamos estar. Sé que Dios nos conoce a cada uno de nosotros personalmente, sabe cuáles son nuestras fortalezas y debilidades, y sabe lo que necesitamos aprender en nuestras misiones para convertirnos en discípulos de Cristo y vivir con Él nuevamente.    

 Sé que por medio de la fe en Jesucristo, mi testimonio de este Evangelio puede fortalecerse para siempre

love you all so very much!!!
