Adventures as a California Girl!: Tranquil as a forest, but on fire within . . . Week 33

Hello!!!! 💙

This week basically flew by!! but there is so much that happened I don't even know where to start!

Tuesday we had a zone conference so we got to go to Oxnard for the day!! We got to say goodbye to our mission nurse, she goes home at the end of this month :(

We also had to say goodbye to our beautiful White Rav 4..... we had many fun adventures with it.....but in return we got a brand new Gray Rav 4!! Which is crazy, who lets 19 year old girls have brand new cars.... but we love it!!! It has 33 miles on it

Tuesday night we went and visited with our members and ate pupusas, and then had to run back to the church to do our facebook live!

Wednesday we did everything we didn't have time to do on Tuesday, so we did all of our weekly planning and then went over to Hermana Castro's house for some delicious homemade tortillas! We also had some super fun lessons! I don't remember what else but I know I made some delicious pasta salad!!

Thursday I have no clue what happened.... but it was probably a good day

Friday! I went on exchanges with Sister Adams. It was a crazy day. I saw so many amazing miracles and was able to find so much joy in the work. I think it's fun to escape Spanish land and have some English lessons!

Saturday was our mission walk day, so we walked as much as we could and it was super super fun! we talked to so many people, as always we talked to all the really really friendly people! We also met this super super cute doggo we dont know its name! Then we had to run to the church because we had a lesson with our friend before English class! Then we just partied it up during English class!

Sunday!! We saw so many miracles! The first being that our sweet new member Vicky came to church for the first time since she was baptised 9 months ago! This was such a blessing for us, and the ward was so happy to see her again! Then after church we went to some members' houses and heart attacked their door and left them some treats. It was overall just an uplifting day!

**Spiritual thought**

"We can feel joy regardless of what is happening - or not happening- in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him. He is the source of all joy."

Joy is not alway being happy, but choosing to find joy despite your circumstances!

I love you and God loves you, and he wants you to always have Joy, always!!!
