An Amazing Week!

This week was amazing, I had a blast and we saw some really amazing miracles!!!! 

Monday was great. We played some real life Angry birds as a district. We also went to the Channel Islands National Park center and learned about them! We had FHE with the YSA and made some Valentine’s cards, had a dinner, and talked to our friend Pablo! He is loving activities! 

Tuesday I was on an exchange with Elder Bergstrom in Santa Paula. It honestly reminds me of Brigham, but it's a little bit more ghetto. But I loved being there, we were able to have an awesome lesson with one of their friends, hand out a record amount of pamphlets and helped that area grow. 

Wednesday was awesome! We went boothing on the Ventura College campus and started teaching a handful of YSA aged kids which I'm excited about! Then we got to sing with some missionaries at a senior living center and the sweet old people there are precious. Then we had institute and the lesson was on Kolob... but the way Sister Johanson explained it wasn’t too bad and our friends didn't seem too confused. 

Thursday we went shopping because our cards didn't work Monday and we met Sister Jensen who just moved into the area and she paid for our groceries!!!!!! I've never had that happen, but she is so sweet and loves missionary work!!! Then we went to our favorite complex and taught our favorite family(Ramirez's) and then met a super nice girl named Destiny and she wants to grow closer to God! 

Friday I was on another exchange with Elder Winterton in a Spanish area. We biked all around and had a fun time. There wasn't many Hispanics out and about, but we met a couple nice people that want us back! Got a nice workout in as well which is a plus! 

Saturday we had a service project where we got to feed the homeless which always brings a smile to their face, which makes me happy! Then we went to a swap meet and started teaching 3 people because of it! Then we had another awesome lesson with the Ramirez family as well as our friend Ron and his son Huey!  

Sunday was pretty great! We had a visit with Brother Shepard who shared some war stories with us, then Bro/Sis Borst who are amazing and Sis Borst is working on a tie for all 3 of us! We also had dinner with Bro/Sis Orosco who are super sweet!! We had Ron and Huey come to church as well as Roni and Erick who are preparing for baptism this Sunday!!!!!

It's truly amazing what happens as we focus on Jesus Christ we are able to find true joy and make it through any hard times!!!
