Hey Everybody!

Favorite Funny Moments:
Just for the record, California has a freaking cockroach problem. ; ) Sister Trujillo and I were heading into the bathroom last p-day to change, but as Sister Trujillo walked in, she just screamed and ran back out. When we asked what was wrong, she told me and the Elders nearby that there were two roaches in there as long as her pinky finger. Which was actually true, not an exaggeration. But then the Elders just waltz right into the women's bathroom to get them out for her and they pick them up with their bare hands to throw them outside the building. It was so nasty, but we were so stunned that it was also pretty freaking hilarious. ; )

Also, Sister Trujillo and I have to make a ridiculous number of calls at night after 9 with us being over two zones now. We were doing calls on Friday and we only had one left, but when they didn't answer, we decided to just get ready and go to bed since it was like 10:10. I started washing my hair and Sister Trujillo went to brush her teeth when the freaking phone went off. ; ) She had a mouthful of toothpaste, so I had to answer the phone with my soaking wet hair hanging over the bathtub so we could finish the dang call. We have no time. ; )

Favorite Spiritual moment:
We got to take Emilio to the family history center to start working on his tree this week. While we were there, we told the family history consultant that he is getting baptized soon, and she just lit up. Her conversation changed from "this is how you add records and put people in" to "this is how you can be a missionary for your family who has already passed on so you can be with them forever." It was so cool, because the Spirit just flooded the room. There was so much light in this sweet lady's eyes as she talked about how he could start doing temple work once he's baptized. I am so grateful for the temple. I am so grateful for my family. And I am so grateful that God loves families too!

Other stuff:
Happy Mothers Day to my amazing Mom! She is the most amazing woman in the entire world. I am so lucky to have her.

Love you guys!

Living it up as a California missionary!

Sorry these are so blurry. An Elder took them. ; )

It really is pretty fun to get to see past companions at meetings and stuff though.

so some of these are actually from a few weeks ago. Whoops. This is with Hermana Lizama, who is now done with her mission.

Hey everybody! With it being Fathers Day on Sunday, I just wanted to tell you all how grateful I am for my dad. He's really so amazing. He is such an amazing example to me, and I have learned so much from him. It is such a blessing to have such an amazing father in my life. I know that I am so blessed. Cool Scripture: One I liked from this week was 3 Nephi 18:10-12. It's about the sacrament and how important it is. I like how it mentions that if we always remember Him, we will have His Spirit to be with us. It just was cool to look at it that way. I don't know if I had ever realized that that was the reason behind it before. Spiritual stuff: We had a super awesome lesson with the Alfarros this week. Since we've picked them all up at different times, we wanted to review the Restoration again before the first few get baptized, but we wanted to do it a little differently than usual. We decided to show the video about it. It was so amazing, guys. The movie is ...

Hey guys! Favorite quote/scripture: DC 64: 33-34. I don't have time to type it out, so go look it up. I like how it talks about this work. I want to give my whole soul to the Lord as I go about doing His work. This is important. I want to make sure that I give my all. Favorite funny moment: So this wasn't like a laugh out loud moment or anything, but more of just a cool thing. We had a two week training follow up for all of the trainees and their trainers last Tuesday. One of the missionaries that came in with Sister O'Bourke is from Thailand. I'm not even going to guess at how to spell her name. She's still learning English, but she's been doing really good. Now that it wasn't her first day, I introduced myself again. Normally when I tell people my name, if they say it back to me to make sure that it's right, I say something like "yep, like the cat." She sounded it out to make sure she was saying it right, and I told her she got ...

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well! Thank you for your prayers and your support; I am so grateful for all of you! Here's this week's favorites: Favorite Quote: Jacob 4: 11-12. This one is too long for me to take the time to type out, so you all have to go look it up. I came across this scripture during personal study the other day and seriously had this "have I ever read this before in my life" moment because it was so good. The line that I do really love that I will type out is "for why not speak of the atonement of Christ." The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the greatest gift anyone could ever give, and our Heavenly Father gave it to us because He love us more than we can even begin to comprehend. He sent His son, because He wants us to be able to return home to Him. We have this amazing, wonderful blessing of a gift in our lives, and we are blessed to know about it. Though we don't fully understand the power of it, we know of it and we...
