Sept 6: Milagros

  This week was crazy! But still full of miracles. 

Funny story. We almost got robbed . But the elders took care of the situation by giving the homeless man a popsicle.. so that was fun. 

We had a miracle where we found a family because this lady Alejanda was carrying lots of food so we went and helped her. And she asked if we could teach her family! She is taking care of her parents.  they been really going through a hard time. Lots of health issues We taught them the restauración. and they loved it!! We then had the Elders come with us to give them a priesthood blessing. And they said they know our church is true and that they want to come to church! I'm not sure how they will make it to church with all their health issues. But what a miracle!! My testimony on charity has increased so much these past few weeks!

Funny story yesterday we were street contacting and this guy talked to us and said he wanted to feed us.. 🙄.. long story short he told me on the phone later that night that he loves us.. like not a friendly way. 

As a companionship  hna Anderson and I get so comments from people about our eyes. And Hna Anderson one time said "I hate having blue eyes" 

This week we had one of our friends come to church! He loved it. 

Also had Korean BBQ  on PD day.

Aug. 30: Longest Week

 Hola todos!!

This week felt like one of the longest weeks of my mission. But there were some amazing miracles as well. My testimony about the priesthood has increased so much this past week. 

Also got to clean inside the Los Angeles temple on Friday!

2. Today was a miracle I helped a lady with her groceries and she started to cry because she said she does everything alone and that was the first time she had someone help her. And she ended up giving us her number. And we will get her a book of mormon! That's was just while we were buying our groceries this morning. What a miracle. 

3. A crazy lesson we had this week with two guys that are friends. They seemed to like us. Especially after we explained the plan of salvation 

4. I had to speak in church on Sunday. So of course had to take a pic 

5. Had a super spiritual tour with this family that came in. They weren't planning on coming to the temple before they flew back home to Mexico.  And it ended up being super spiritual

Aug. 23 : So I hit 7 months

 Hola a todos!! 

It's been a crazy week! Just wanted to share a miracle. With whitewashing the area we have been struggling a little bit on the area. The last time they had friends come to church was a in March over zoom... we have been praying and fasting to find people that can come to church that can be more solid. And we went through our old referrals that the old missionaries in the last that had contacted. And we found eddy! He said he's been wanting yo go to church. And so of course we invited him and he brought his friend!! They loved church and are so willing to learn more! So we are very excited to keep teaching them! We were so happy to have them at church!! First time of the transfer. We hope to have our area to keep growing.

The departing missionaries from the Ventura mission came to the VC and guess who was there Macy Udy!! Her and I went to high school together.

Aug. 16 Always have Animo!!

 It's been a crazy week! With having zone conference this last week it was really amazing. Hna Anderson and I are working on having more more faith and finding ways to invite the spirit more while planning and while trying to receive revelation. We decided to play more hymns. Before we plan the day or have any weekly planning we play a small hymn. It has made such a difference. Hymns are so powerful and can really bring the spirit. Our area is having a hard time. We are trying to have more faith and praying for miracles. We are really seeing miracles even if it's just by small little things. We have been street contacting. It's been very hard but we have seen miracles in just having people listen to us.  So always have Animo! Even if white washing in a not so great area there is always miracles in everything!!
