Soooo....I forgot today was transfer day
Haha or did I tell you today was transfers??? Well I guess I will get that out of the way first.............I am being transfered! Its crazy. So I will be white washing (which means there are Elders there right now and they will both be leaving) and training (in english ahh..) and I will keep my traveling sister assignment but the other Traveling Sister will be here in Ventura while I am in Moorpark!!! Im going back to the Thousand Oak area. CRAZY...but I wont lie I had like a mini revelation the night before so it wasnt a huge shock. BUT STILL. Crazy. I am super exciting but everything is going to be so new.
Well....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!! I was thinking about you and was thinking about your birthday. Ha so I hope it went well.
Also can you give a shout out to Lori and Vanessa for their birthdays! I thought about them as well. Life has just been so crazy and I didnt have time to go to the store and buy cards but I love you all the same.
Lets see...this week was really good. Sister Thompson and I had so many miracles and she was a great missionary! I am excited to see her up at school.
This week we talked about an inspired of way of teaching and we put it into practice in district meeting and asked got a baptismal date that day in a declaration on the front porch! I know our mission president is so inspired. I am also grateful that he is so focused on Preach My Gospel and doesnt feel the need to come up with all these fancy programs because Preach My Gospel is the Lord's way to do missionary work!
Oh then before that we were leaving an investigators house but we started walking down the street and started talking to these 2 guys. They invited us to come and sit on the porch so we went up and taught them the Restoration and they both accepted baptismal dates!!! YA! The Lord is really preparing people and if we are willing to be bold and do work he will help.
The Evangelista family is doing super great and so is Bro Wages. We finally saw the Fa family and taught them the Plan of Salvation. We invited her to be baptized and she is going to pray about being baptized. She is really so great and is putting everything into practice that she is learning. Now we just have to get her to church more often. She has a really crazy work schedule but we need to be more firm with her..
Sorry if this email is so crazy. My mind is all over the place. Everything is changing haha but it is going to be such an adventure!
I got an email from Chrissy too and Im sorry to hear that both her and Jamie had little accidents! I hope they get better soon and I will keep them in my prayers!
I was randomly studying in the for the strength of youth (the new one) and I noticed that every single section it mentions in some way that this principle will help you have the spirit to be with you and I think that it is so cool that we have some guidelines to better help us have the spirit to be with us. It just goes to show us how important having the spirit with us is. I love the gospel!
Well really my mind is so crazy and we have to be in Oxnard at 3 to take the new sisters out so I have to let you go. Pray that I will be able to train in pure english! Im so excited to meet my new missionary. She is going to be great! I have always wanted to white wash. It is going to be such an adventure! YAY YAY YAY!
All is well and we are working! It is so good to hear how everyone is doing. Im sorry this letter is so crazy. Haha love you all!
