Hola!!!!
This week has been soo good!!!
This is the last full week of the transfer and boy am I nervous!! I love this area so much I don't want to leave!!
Tuesday we had our usual weekly planning and called all of our friends to set up lessons. We have so many amazing friends we just need them to come to church!!!
But anyways we got to go to Toppers with some members and we got delicious pizza!!!
Wednesday!! Oh my goodness Wednesday was crazy, a new fire has started in Dan Clarita and the smoke went directly to us so for the majority of the day we were inside trying not to inhale too much smoke, but we are safe and we didn't have to evacuate!
This is the first fire that had truly affected our area, we haven't had any smoky days so it was definitely a little shocking!
It was a little funny because Wednesday Morning we were walking through an apartment complex and we mentioned what a beautiful day it was and then by the time we got out of our appointment it was like boom, smoke everywhere! But we had two member meals that day. Well we went over for lunch with a member and then for dinner one of our friends invited us for dinner, she's not interested in learning from us but she said she wants us to come back for dinner this week! So hopefully we will just go over enough that she will eventually want to listen to us talk about the gospel!
Thursday was a pretty normal day. There was a little fire that started here in Camarillo but it didn't affect us much. But Thursday we had some lessons! We started on our podcast and did comp study podcast style, I don't know when but eventually we will share those videos! Then as we were leaving comp study a group of older men showed up and invited us to play ultimate frisbee, they play every Wednesday and Saturday and they were so cute!! But we told them we were missionaries and then they were a little less interested… but we went over to the Rivieras for dinner. They have a son who's preparing for a mission so we were able to share some helpful tips!!
Friday I had my last mentor session :( shout out to Brother Peterson he is truly a homie! But he has been so helpful in my training! And now I'm officially out of training!!
I don't really remember a ton from this day but I do know we had another member meal with the Rangles!!! And called a gray record named Maria! She was the sweetest Abuelita ever!! She made us feel so loved and called us her angels and precious daughters!! Sooo cuteeee
Saturday… well I lead out the area with Sister Kuli and it was pretty good. For some reason all of our lessons canceled or had problems so it was pretty stressful, but it was still a really good day! I got to work on my Spanish all day!!! But we had a cute miracle. We were walking past this guys house and he stopped us and was like you are doing amazing work and he was proud of us and he was like keep on going there's people waiting for you! It was super sweet and definitely a message from God! We needed it!!!
Sunday!!! Marcela & Jorge and their kids came to church!!!!
Marcela is the sweetest ever and she has the cutest little kids, she has her son Liam who we just love in lessons but he is a little bit crazy all of the time, I'm pretty sure I've talked about him before! But anyways they loved church and just were so excited to come!!
It was pretty rainy so we didn't get to talk to many people and a lot of people canceled our lessons because of the rain… bummer but we did get two lessons in and they were such good lessons!!!

☆ so many member meals!!!!

~Spiritual Thought~
“ The Savior urged us to look unto [Him] in every thought; doubt not, fear not. When we focus on the Savior, our faith can start to overcome our concerns. As President Dieter F. Uchtdorf encouraged us to do: Please, first doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith. We must never allow doubt to hold us prisoner and keep us from the divine love, peace, and gifts that come through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Elder David p. Homer Oct. 2024
I have been studying this talk for my personal study this week and holy cow it is so amazing!!
Have faith in Jesus Christ our Savior! I know that he loves each and everyone of us with a pure and divine love and as we take the time and make the effort to fear not and to grow our faith in him we will be blessed for our actions!
Love you all so so much
catch y'all next week *finger guns*
