Adventures as a California Girl!: This little light of mine ☀️Week 23

Hello hello!!!

This week was soo soo good!! And for some random amazing reason the theme of this week was " this little light of mine". It started last Sunday when all day Hermana Santa Maria and I had this song stuck in our head, which continued to p-day and we got it stuck in everyone's head, so we sang it in our district council Monday night.

And then Tuesday we had interviews!! And we sang it as our opening song. If you ever want to feel the spirit so strong, have a bunch of missionaries sing this little light of mine!

The rest of Tuesday was really good!! I had an interview with my mission president and it was sooo good, it was the guidance I needed for this week!! Then after Hermana Santa Maria and I went with some Elders to this Cafe in Camarillo, and we ate milkshakes and watched little airplanes take off!! Sooo cool!!! Then we had a cute member meal with Hermana Compos! Then I ran to the church for English class!! And ended the day by having our friend Arturo accept a date for baptism!! He has so much faith and is so excited for baptism!!

Wednesday!! We had lunch with Hermana Gonzales!! She is such a cutie and I tried bananas and rice for the first time. It was surprisingly really good. I wasn't expecting it to be that good, the rest of the day was really rainy so we just sat in different cafes calling and talking to random people!

Thursday was kinda crazy and I don't remember a ton besides we changed our schedule like 50 times... and Thursday night after it rained all day we came home to our ceiling leaking water... We put out some bowls and are preparing for the rain this week. We hope it gets fixed soon.

Friday I was on exchanges with Hermana Olavenson and got to spend the day in Oxnard and for the first time I did language study in a Burger King kinda crazy there's some fun people in Oxnard. And then we got kinda lost in these apartments in Oxnard and wandered around trying to find our lessons.

Saturday I woke up feeling pretty sick but we still kept going and had an amazing lesson with Juan!! He is preparing for baptism and is just so so amazing. Please keep him in your prayers. He is trying to get over some pretty hard things! Saturday we got to go to dinner with Danny, our branch mission leader and some of his friends that served in this mission a few years ago. And then we ended the day by getting blessings from the Elders!!!

Sunday was amazing as always!! I woke up with very little voice, which made it hard to talk to everyone at church, especially our friends that came. Daniel came and he is the cutest he wants to get baptised!! His mom is a returning member who we found a few weeks ago!

Also we had dinner with the Avila family! I tried ceviche for the first time! It was interesting but so good!!!

I want to invite you all to share your light this week! It can be In any form but each one of us has this special light that God has given us for us to shine! So let it shine!!!
