Lost duck?

 Hola todos! This week wasn't anything too special, but we still had miracles because Jesus is a God of miracles.

Pato perdido 
Ya so we were just out driving to a stop by in the pouring rain just having kinda a rough day when I look over and see a lost duck sign.... that's a first fs. Only in SoCal I guess... added that one to the things I'd only see in SoCal so that was kinda funny! We are now on the duck hunt although the ducks here are MEAN like fr I've been chased twice by ducks in the very apartment complex I live in. Los patos me dan miedo! 
Leche por favor
Remember the milagro I had with my sweet friend Viviana? If you don't, go back and read cuz that's your own fault. Anyways, we had a fire lesson with our sweet friend Viviana! She's in a tough situation right now with no place to live besides her new work. So that was triste. She told us she doesn't even have milk so I asked for forgiveness, and we went to the store and bought her milk because that's what Jesus would do. She moved her from Colombia not too long ago and is a legal citizen here and just is trying to find work. Her life back in Colombia really wasn't bad at all but she wanted to come here to be with her family and then they kicked her out, so she was left to figure it out for herself.  Vivi is amazing and she is one of my soul mates. I am a firm believer that God gives us more than one soul mate and Vivi is one of mine. Please keep Vivi in your prayers! 
A tiny miracle 
Our recent convert Jose now has the priesthood and has passed the sacrament the past two Sundays and wow he GLOWS! I am so proud of him, but I know God is even more proud of him! He told me after sacrament how much joy he felt being able to help people come closer to Jesus Christ and how bad he wished he could be a missionary like me. It was so sweet. He is living here working for his family in Nicaragua and his testimony is one of the strongest. I am so obsessed with the incredible people here in SoCal, they have seriously changed my life. Such a small but beautiful milagro that Jose was able to pass the sacrament! 
Never alone 
I came across the photo below this week and I really needed it. I have never felt so close to my angels the past few months and it makes things a little easier when some days just seem impossible. They hold me up. Never did I ever think I'd have to rely on so many angels on my mission and that is a different kind of experience for sure. I do know though that I am truly never alone. Nobody is ever alone. YOU are not alone. Jesus is always with you and he sends his angels to minister to me and to you. I promise. 
God is good. 
Jesus loves you! 
con mucho amor

The hardest thing I've ever loved to do

  God is a loving Heavenly Father. The first principle we teach as missionaries.  A simple statement, but one that has changed my life.  God...
