Minny Miracles!

What's up friends and family, hope you’re doing well and that you had an awesome week! Here's how mine went:

Monday we played frisbee golf for our district activity! Then we had dinner delivered which was great!! We stopped by a couple of our friends and as we were talking with one of them, he got a call and said, "Yeah, yeah, for real, I got your back dog, I'll be right over" then proceeded to run inside, tell everyone what happened, come outside tell us his friend just got jumped, then get in his car and drive away...

Tuesday district council was focused on diligence and the importance of staying focused, working hard, and helping all come unto christ no matter where we are at! Then we had a really good lesson with our friend Gustavo after the Book of Mormon class! He loved the class then we were able to teach him more about restoration and how important the Book of Mormon is!!

Wednesday we had a great visit with Dorothea, she has a desire to make it back to the temple and talked to Bishop on Sunday so that's big! Then we had a good lesson with our friend Micheal, then caught our friend Ozzy home and taught him the restoration and it all seemed to make sense to him and he loves reading the Book of Mormon!! Then Wednesday night Jesse a member of our ward took us out to dinner and he invited Gustavo the friend we're teaching and Sean so that was really fun!!

Thursday we met a lady named Benny who has family in the Philippines who are members so that was cool and were gonna start teaching her! Then we went store contacting(I am not a fan), but we started talking to one of the workers at the mall and she's been going through some rough stuff, so we were able to help her find peace through Jesus Christ and we have a church tour tomorrow!!!

Friday Curtis a member from our ward took us to Green Acres which is a pretty good tri-tip spot, loved it!!! Then we had a good phone call lesson with our friend Lily! After that while at the park Andrew approached us and wanted to learn more about our beliefs, then he shared a lot about the Eastern Orthodox religion so I got to learn a little bit about that! Then we drove to Newbury Park for a service at the stagecoach museum. Which is a super old hotel they turned into a museum, and we helped set up for a carnival type of thing! Used the little bit of Spanish I know to start teaching 2 new friends for the Spanish area!!!

Saturday I had an amazing opportunity to do a baptismal interview and Diana is super ready and has a strong testimony! Then we met Monique, who we tracted into. She said, "It's funny you came by, I've been feeling distant from God and needing to get closer to him". Super excited to see where that goes! And finished off the night with dinner at our Bishops house!!!

Sunday was awesome. A missionary had his homecoming talk and that was pretty good! Then we planned for the week and thought about our friends and set goals for them and plans for how to help them progress which is always fun. Then we went to the Guidos house for dinner and had a good time there!!

"There has never been a time in the history of the world when knowledge of our Savior is more personally vital and relevant to every human soul"

-President Russel M. Nelson

It's truly amazing the impact of having Jesus Christ is our lives has. I've been blessed to be able to grow closer to Jesus Christ while on my mission and see others who didn't know Him, or hadn't embraced Him do exactly that and their lives have been changed! I hope you all take time to recognize how blessed we are to know Jesus Christ, and if you don't know Him, start reading and praying and your relationship will grow!!

Have a great week, love you all!!!!
