HOLA!!!
WOW k sorry in advance but this email might be a bit longer...
I MADE IT TO CALI
ok first things first, waking up at 3 in the morning sucks but I'm so glad I did cuz now I'm here in the best place ever. Little background on Hemet (which is where my first area is) it is the sketchiest place I will be on my mission. But I literally love it so much already and don't worry, I have pepper spray. Um so this week was a lot of orientation stuff, but it's been so good! Also, shoutout to my sweet trainer Hermana Haws for being the amazing human she is!!
Language
Ok so I actually understand a lot more than I thought I would, and I've been able to share a lot in lessons and at church. BTW church in Spanish is so fun! I've been able to say long meaningful prayers in Spanish and have been able to hold convos and testify so that's kinda cool 😎 buttt I'm definitely far from fluent hahaha! Also, nobody here can pronounce my name, so I now go by hermana b and I kinda really love it hehe!
Amigos!!
I have met so many new friends (we don't call them investigators anymore just fwi) anyways and they are awesome! I've been able to teach the sweetest family this week and we are hoping for them to get baptized in Jan or Feb! Also, I was able to attend a relief society meeting last Friday night and I met so many amazing ladies and abuelitas omg they are so cute! I get a hug and a kiss on the cheek each time I see them, and I just love it. Also, during this little relief society party, we got to talk to our new friend who came!!! Prior to me coming, this sweet lady has been taught and she's been attending things and is making new friends! She says she wants to be baptized in March but we're hoping her desire and the holy ghost make that sooner cuz she's so amazing and so ready ah I just love her!!
Miracles upon miracles
1. Me and Hermana Haws were out seeking with faith aka tracting and the lady we were going to visit wasn't home which was kinda sucky butttt after me and my sweet comp felt a little inkling from the spirit to go across the street and Knock this house. THE SPIRIT IS THE BEST and we made a new friend who we are now teaching, and she just is so sweet and amazing!
2. The second miracle is a little tender but bear with me, so some of you may know or may not but I found out this morning that I lost a good friend due to an accident. Waking up to this I couldn't help but just cry and I felt so numb and sad. He was such an amazing person!!! I was in complete shock, and we decided to kneel and pray. I felt a little better and knew I had to continue my day, so we went to the store. As we were going to get my Dr. Pepper, yes, my Dr pepper, we ran into this sweet lady who wasn't a member but knew the missionaries. I asked her if she was excited for Christmas and she said no because she lost her nephew not too long ago and didn't know if she'd be able to feel joy but she also went on to say that she was happy that her nephew was able to skateboard in heaven without any issues and It took all of me to hold in the tears. She asked if we could visit her, and we of course said yes. After she walked away, I broke down in tears in Walmart lol because I knew that that was the spirit, and that God really does know me and my needs. And I testify that that is so true! HE KNOWS YOU! Cindy is my miracle.
Light the World!!
We have been inviting so many friends to do light the world and it's been such a testimony builder!! I invite you all if you haven't already to participate in light the world! It really is an amazing way to share the Saviors light by serving those around us just like he did!
I love you all! Recognize the miracles around you because they are everywhere!
God is so good!!
