I love being a missionary!!!

i love being a missionary so much it is so much fun !!!

so the day i left the ccm was the longest day ever. we flew to LAX where we were supposed to have a 3 hour lay over which then turned into a 9 hour layover. we were supposed to get to Sacramento at 3:00 we didn't get here until 11:45 ish then we did not  get to the mission presidents house until 12:30. we went to bed around 2a.m. but we got to meet at ton of people at the airport, so it was pretty amazing. 

then the next day i met my new companion, she is so nice i love her. her name is heramana cappillo-montes, she was born in peru  and now lives in new jersey but she speaks fluent Spanish so i am learning so much from her. we got to go to the temple and take pictures. After that we went grocery shopping. then we went to the apartment. I am living with 2 other hermanas they are way nice and funny. love them!! then we went tracting ( where missionaries go knock on people’s doors ) it was so much fun .

 I LOVE tracting, its so cool to meet every one, i thought i was going to hate it but it is one of my favorite things to do. 

the next day we woke up worked out, studied then we went tracting again.  1 lady invited us in and we talked to her for a while. then 3 more people invited us back. then we taught a recent convert a lesson.

also it was pouring when we were tracting, and when we got in the car my hair was dripping, but as we were tracting i didn't even feel wet, so the lord is blessing us. and we met a lot of cool people that day that have a ton of potential, also if they speak any thing other then Spanish we pass them to the missionaries who speak that language, so if we meet some and they invite us in we teach them 1 lesson and them pass them on. 

we had a zone kick off where we talked about goals and what we wanted to accomplish in these next 6 weeks. 

okay and also my favorite plants are everywhere at every single house and it is the most wonderful thing. every house has the most perfect succulents, and cactus. they are so pretty and they grow so good here. they are huge and perfect there are also lemon trees and they are the cutest things. i think i am going to buy a bunch of succulents for my room, they are way cheap here. 

also on this day we went to this house and they invited us inside and they had a baby and he came over and was hugging me for the whole time we were teaching and it was the sweetest thing he was about 1 and he was so cute. then we went and taught a lesson to a lady who is getting baptized on the 9th. 

on Friday we taught a lot of lessons, i can understand pretty much everything everyone is saying in spanish but I cant respond very well yet, but i understand. 

we also gave out 2 book of mormons this day tracting . we met a ton of people who were very interested but we had to pass them to the English missionaries.

we went and taught a lesson to a family who hadn't been to church in 6 months, (we invited them to come to church and they came!) i also got to go to a baptism the English missionaries had it was a 12 old girl and her mom got baptized last month it was so cute. 

sundayyyyy, this was the best day i have had here so far. it was so cool.

i got to go to church, we had invited a bunch of people to church and 5 of them came!!!!! 

then we went tracting and we met a man who was so excited to see us, he was ready to be taught but he spoke English so we had to pass him 

then we had lunch , i also made curry this week and that is what i ate like every day. 

 we got to go to this hermana farewell, and teach some of her family who were not members. 

then we got to go tracting!!!

we met so many people who were very interested the lord blessed us so much this night. 

1. we met a lady who spoke spanish and she asked us to come by on tuesday and she was so excited to hear more

2. then we met a man working on his boat and we were nervous to talk to him because we thought he was going to be way rude but he was so nice and asked us to please come back and teach him more. 

3. then their was this huge family outside having a party like 30 people so we were kinda nervous again, they spoke Spanish, but we went up and they got us chairs and made us tacos and gave us drinks and we joined their family party, we both shared our testimony and a small message then we went on our way. 

4. then we met 2 other people they asked for book of Mormons and they wanted to read more one spoke spanish and the other spoke English 

today has been way good we went grocey shopping, then thrift shopping!!!! i got some rings and dresses and sweaters!!! then we went and got frozen yogurt (they had vegan chocolate ice cream!!! so you could say it was the best day ever)  with the hermanas in our apartment  

i hope you guys have an amazing week i love you and miss you all ❤️
