Adventures as a California Girl!: Whoaaaaa we're half way there Week 39

Hello family and friends!!!

To make up for the lack of information in the email last week this email should have a little bit more exciting stuff!!

Tuesday!! We got our weekly planning done... our cute member was still in Mexico so we couldn't go get homemade tortillas but this week we will go over!! Then we had some cute little visits! Then we talked about our English class live on facebook... if you are not following our mission pages you really should be!!!

Wednesday! I have no clue what happened on Wednesday. I know that we had a few crazy lessons and one really really long lesson!!! Then we got to go to Fillmore and had a little family home evening. We talked about angels and shared some cute thoughts and memories and it was so precious!!

Thursday! We stopped by to help this cutie! She was stealing pool water to clean off her patio and so we helped her clean off all the telas de araña and our dresses got soaked but it was fun. We talked to her for a while! She is a cutie!!! Then we had a lesson with our friend Juan Miguel (literally my favorite person in the world) , then we taught our English class and we had so many cool friends and new friends come!!

Friday! Zone Conference! Which was so amazing and very uplifting! Then we had a very long lesson in the park with Ocario!!

Saturday! We had so many miracles and truly God is so good!! He puts people in our lives that we really need and it is so needed! We also got our mission president's wife to come join our English class!!

Sunday! It was such a crazy day!! We had 7 amazing friends come to church, 7!!! They all showed up at least 15 minutes late ... but they showed up and it was so precious! Then we got to take a drive to Ojai to have a lesson with our amazing new friend Jordan. She is preparing for baptism and she is so adorable!

Spiritual thoughts

Truly I just wanted to say that God's timing is perfect. Saturday we stopped by a new member referral for the 3rd time and they told us the girl we were looking for wasn't there, it was lowkey kinda frustrating because we knew how important it was and then as we were walking away already frustrated, when Rosie (the new member who referred us) came running around the corner. Then we had the best first lesson ever!! They came to church also!

It's sometimes hard to trust God's timing and to just submit to his will but truly it is worth it. It is not worth it to stress over and to worry about because things will work out the way they need to be!

It has been the most uplifting 9 months of my entire life, there have been hard times and sometimes I just don't think I can do it. But here I am and I'm so so happy to be here! I can testify that you are where you need to be exactly where you need to be!! God loves you and he is proud of you. Trust in him and I promise things will happen at the times they are needed!!

Love you all so so much
