Oh man! I love them so much. Thank you. Hey Owen!!
Hola familia y amigos,
This week was crazy!! It was fantastic!!!!! Besides the fact that all of our lessons fell through except 2. (We had like 15-20 lessons planned...). We saw many, MANY miracles!! There were just many instances where we were in the right place at the right time. It was cool.
We were on our way home to eat dinner. We decided to get gas (We didn't have a clue why, other than the fact that the next day was Sunday...but we had enough gas...it was weird.). We were at the pump and some man walked up to us and started asking us about our Ford Fusion. Then we told him who we were (missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of...) And he said, "What happens after we die?" You can imagine how this went on. We left him with a mormon.org card because he wasn't from around here. He commited to contacting missionaries and going to the website. We truly feel he will do it.
Another. We had met this man named Juan....a few months ago. But we couldn't ever find him after an appointment had fallen through (because of lack of planning on our part...it was FRUSTERATING). We decided to go visit a woman that is not progressing at all...not really ready to be taught just yet. but on the way to her house Juan walked up to us. We found him!! HE FOUND US actually!! We talked with him. It was cool
There were many many more!! But I don't have time!! I guess I should tell you..........I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED. I'm kind of freaking out...but not at the same time! I am getting moved to Solvang (Tell Dianna Smith...she really wanted me to go to Solvang and I know she would love to hear that I'm going!). My new companion's name is Hermana Howell. I will meet her tomorrow. I have been packing today. Packing stinks. I just think of all the people that are here. Oxnard is all I know. I love the people here. Most of all....as much as I struggle with Spanish, I love teaching in Spanish. Solvang is English. We are supposed to be looking for Spanish work....but it's ENGLISH. We are supposed to work on getting a Spanish unit up there. Also, Hermana Howell and I are white washing in. Which means that we are both NEW to the area. I am the driver....so this'll be interesting. Haha. Hermana Howell has been out a while. I am excited to meet her. I am just really afraid of forgetting my Spanish. But I know that I am supposed to be in Solvang now. I expected to leave...but It makes me so sad. I just keep thinking, "I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord." Isn't that a common theme as a missionary?
Oxnard has treated me very well. I know this will be a place I come back to. I love the people here so much. I have loved the areas I proselyted in. I love the missionaries I worked with. I am getting a fresh start. A clean slate. ....going to church in English will be odd....but it's OKAY!! :) Bring it on!! I love this work. I learn so much...I think I've said this before, but I feel like the biggest convert I've seen on my mission so far is myself. Funny how that works, huh? I know that the message that we as missionaries teach is true. It's amazing. This work is fantastic. I love it!!
I love you all. Sorry for not writing more!!
Love you!!
Love,
Hermana Ah Mu
