What's up friends and family!! I had another great week, let me tell you about it!!!
Monday was the last preparation day of the transfer, crazy!!!! We went to President and Sister Rodriguez's house and learned how to make papusas, grilled some quesadillas, and had a fun time!!!! That night we had FHE and we played pickleball and that was also fun!
Tuesday we had an awesome last district council!! We talked about our favorite stories of Jesus Christ and how us as missionaries need to serve in the Saviors way! Then as we were pulling up to a friend's house our tire popped, it made the saddest noise... so we put the spare on and went to visit the Ramirez family. They are awesome! All 4 kids are reading the Book of Mormon and the mother has seen a big change in her family! Then we had a great visit with Ade, and her family!
Wednesday was pretty crazy. We went boothing at Ventura College and found 3 more people to teach, so that's exciting!!! Then we had to take our tire to get repaired... we thought it would be quick so we walked down to McDonalds. We were there for 3 hours... But in that amount of time we invited a lot of our friends to institute, and a few came!!! We also just walked around a lot becuase we were bored and couldn't get very far. After the car got fixed we headed to our friend Jeff and shared something quick with him. Then we zoomed over to our friend Alexis's house and she is great! We showed up and she told us we were eating and we didn't have any complaints lol. Food was great and we were able to answer a lot of questions that she had!!!
Thursday we found out transfer news!!! I am staying with Elder Webb and we got Elder Pickrell. So far we have been loving the work and we work well together!! After finding out the news, we went to work. We were supposed to help a guy move, but he ended up getting enough for rent, so we taught him about the Book of Mormon!! After him we had a great lesson with Angel!!!!
Friday was transfer day. So we met up with our new comp, I got to see some familiar faces and then we went to work!! We walked on Ventura Avenue and talked to some really nice people!! We had a great lesson with our friend Francisco, he showed us his process of making designs and putting them on shirts! Then we gave him a Book of Mormon and he is enjoying reading it!!!
Saturday was great! We got to attend a baptism in our zone and our friend Alexis came to it!!! She loved it and felt the spirit so strong! So after the baptism we had a mini lesson with her and she is excited to be baptized on Feb. 10th!!! After the baptism we went and had a lesson with our friend Marcell who is looking to change his life and is going to come to institute!!
Sunday was great, our family ward had a great speaker who talked about learning from past experiences and recognizing the ways God strengthened them and how He can strengthen us!! Then we went to the YSA ward and a recent convert got the priesthood which is always awesome to see!! We met DeAndre who is playing football at Ventura College, knows a member, amd wants to learn more!!! Then we had a visit with Davey and Susanna who are awesome!
"As we listen and act on spiritual promptings, the Holy Ghost magnifies our abilities and capacities to far exceed what we can do on our own. These precious spiritual gifts will help us in every aspect of our lives." - Gary E. Stevenson
I love how as we act on promptings God gives us more and magnifies the spiritual gifts that we already have! I hope you all see the gifts God has given you and you bless the lives of others as you use them!!!
Love you all have a great week!!!
