Zone Conference and One More Transfer

Hello friends and family! Another week has passed, and it was a good one!

Wednesday(not yesteray): Played some kickball with the Thousand Oaks district! It was a good time, and my team won! Then we ate some lunch with the other district and just hungout and had a good time! Then we taught English class which was good and I got to practice the little bit of Spanish that I know! 

Thursday: Exchange day!! I was with Elder Kosmicki for the day, here in Moorpark and it was really good! We met a Tim who has  a lot of good questions, Noah who likes the Plan of Salvation, and Rafael, who is looking for a youth program to have her daughter be a part of! I'm excited to see it all play out!!! Then we got to go to sportsnight in Thousand Oaks, played some soccer and then ended the exchange! 

Friday: Zone Conferece!!! It was so good to hear messages from President and Sister Rodriguez! They talked about the covenants that we make in the temple and the blessings that come as we are obedient to them. As well as the commandments and standards that we have been given as missionaries and the blessings that come as we obey them! Me and Elder Starkey and Sister Caswell led a discussion about studying the scriptures and how that allows us to "Put on the armor of God".

Saturday: Had an amazing day! We baked some cookies and dropped them off at members that need a little bit of upliftment, they really appreciated it. Then we made a bunch of calls, a lady said she would make it to church and she didn't. But we had a good conversation with a kid named Angel that we stopped by on Sunday! 

Sunday: Stake Conference was really good! The stake president stood up at the end and called the whole to stake to gather scattered Israel, be member missionaries and to share their light. The other talks were focused on how we can best grow our relationship with God and keep our faith strong!! Then we had a great dinner with the Seguine family, and watched the departing testimony zoom. 

Monday: Had an awesome district council where everyone gave a short discussion on a different subject, so it was pretty cool. Then we had a lot of studies and planning today to prepare or the end of the transfer. Contacted a couple people who just aren't ready to receive the gospel yet. 

Tuesday: Had our foodshare, which is service in the comminity we do every week, and that was pretty fun! Then we contacted a lot of the new people we started teaching last week. And set up a visit for this weekend!!! 

Wednesday: Not a preparation day, which felt a little weird. But it was still a great day! We went boothig and met a cute family, but they live in the Santa Fernando Valley, so we wont't get to teach them. We also met Joseph who is super down to learn about our church and dive into the Book of Mormon! We got to stumble thorugh English class on our own for a while, somehow made it work. Then did some Facebook and said goodbye to an Elder that took off this morning!! 

I read this scripture this week and I love it: 

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." - Revelation 3:20

It's amazing how Jesus Christ is always there for us, he is just waiting for us to turn to him, open the door, and accept the blessings, strength, and love that he has to offer us!! 

Hope you all have a good week! I got transfer news and I will be staying in Moorpark and getting my trainer Elder Cosentino!!!
