He Lives!

Wow wow! What another Great week! I'm gonna do my best to remember all the important events that went down this week! 

We've been working really really hard to find new people to teach! We are still consistently teaching our friend sirine! She needs lots of prayers! She's scheduled to be baptized on the 19th of October! I have so much faith she will be able to be baptized then! But she needs your prayers! 

We've been trying to find new ways of finding people in Oakland! We've gone to parks! Bus stations! Bart stations! And everything in between. But I truly need to have more trust that the lord is preparing us more people to teach! 

Yesterday we found this really cool young man from Mongolia named Lucas! He believes in Jesus Christ and he was so excited when we talked about the book of mormon. He wanted to know where to buy one! Imagine his excitement when we said we had a free copy for him to take! It's amazing to see those who are humble in accepting more of the words of Jesus Christ and are just truly seeking for his truth! 

We also had an exchange this week! I was able to go on an exchange with an Elder named Elder Meissman! We've been on a few exchanges before and we just had the best day together! Sadly the day ended early when we got a call from president lash that we apparently had stake reports in an HOUR! And then he preceded to tell us that the stake president asks very difficult questions and ig missionaries in the passed were afraid of him. I think I said my most sincere prayers before that meeting! But the meeting went well and I think I seemed like I wasn't totally unprepared! 

Lots of crazy stuff this week! But something that I love that stays consistent is the scriptures. I've been able to find a lot of peace in the scriptures with increase of stress at times during missionary work. I want to urge everyone to make scripture study a priority for your daily lives. There's a lot of peace to be found in scripture study! 

I love you all and miss you guys tons! Feel free to reach out!

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...
