Week Full Of Miracles!

YALLLL I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! 


Why is Christmas time just a time of miracles! We had a very productive week where we just saw the lords hand in everything we were doing! We were guided and we found so many people and we just kept going with faith! One miracle from this week was being able to see our friend Christopher and having a couple of lessons with him and getting him to one of the events at the temple! You truly begin to love the people you teach so much and want to literally do anything for them. That's how I feel about Chris...HES A DAWG!


Recently he's been deciding between getting baptized in our church and another non denominational church. Then when we taught him Wednesday he just straight up asked us how soon can I get baptized in your church? And we said we can get you in the water asap! So now he's on date for baptism for January 6th! He's so hyped and he has grown so much! 


That was just one of the many miracles but I don't want to type for forever. I've definitely been getting used to the Oakland life it's a little rougher than Richmond but alot of the times it can be entertaining or just pose for a great missionary opportunity! However many people here have hearts ready for the gospel we just gotta find them! 


Christmas time here is definitely magical the temple is beautiful at Christmas and we've been able to go up there alot to see friends which has been a blessing to have as a tool! 


Idk if yall caught the Christmas devotional last night but it was straight heat! President Nelson had me ready to run through a brick wall talking aboit how we should adore him this season! But Elder Gong got me sad talking about the importance of family traditions during the Hollidays rip. But we've been blessed with members to invite us over for Christmas already so clutch! They even asked me what my Christmas traditions were and I mentioned my Mom's French toast and they said DONE. So mom if you're reading this far I need the recipe! 


Just another blessing of the Oakland 9th ward! 


I love yall and miss yall...don't be scared to send me a Christmas card or something!!!

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Hey Everyone! Just checking back in after an amazing weekend of REVELATION! I love General Conference and the inspiring messages! I hope you were all able to tune in at some point and if you couldn't watch it watch it rn! The prophets voice is so powerful! After hearing his address there was a little bit of a sense that the second coming of christ is coming A LOT sooner than we may think! But also big news! A NEW TEMPLE IN QUEEN CREEK! I literally called it! Great to see the old hometown getting a house of the lord!  Besides conference this week was a good one! We had zone conference and it was focused on using the scriptures while teaching the doctrine of christ! So many scriptures that I wrote down!! Also this week in Oakland has been HOTTT. it's been getting up to 100 degrees in the bay which is unusual here. Usually I wouldn't complain. Bc I'm an AZ kid but when you live in the top apartment with no AC it's a bummer!  Anyways a crazy miracle is our new friend Co...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  This week was so fast but it was a good one lots of miracles! A cool miracle was we met an innactive member earlier this week and we just had dinner with her tonight and gave her a blessing and she's coming to church this week! It was a miracle because we were tracting and happened to knock on her door she was so happy to see us and almost started crying! Just goes to show the lord truly guides us missionaries!  Our friend Christopher didn't end up getting baptized this weekend. Everything is OK though he is still going to get baptized just needs more time understanding things and we are having daily contacts with him to help him! He's just come so far from where he used to be and he's going to continue to grow because that's one of the blessings that comes from the atonement and something that can truly change us when we use it. Only the purest joys can come through sincere repentance! I just love Christopher let's all pray I don't...
