Another perfect week!



it has been another perfect week. 
on Tuesday we had a night of miracles. 
miracle number 1; we had the best lesson ever with one of our friends, we have been teaching her for a while and this time it felt real it was so good. 
miracle number 2: we had a lesson with a less active Herman in our branch and we invited her to the young women's activity we were teaching the next day and she was way excited to go. 
miracle number 3: we walked down one of my favorite streets and we saw a man we met a few days ago at Walmart. when we met him we gave him a book of Mormon and told him to read enos, we promised him that if he read the book that his life would change. when we saw him again he looked happy he was smiling he said that he felt happier and that he just feels so much better.
miracle number 4: we saw tino again. we saw a man riding by on a bike and then we realized it was tino so we got to talk to him for a minute. 
miracle number 5: then we had one of the best contacts i have ever had in my whole life. we prayed that night to find someone who had a broken heart  and god lead us right to him it was the coolest experience. 
on Wednesday we taught young women's we painted book of mormons for our activity it was so much fun. 
our air conditioning also broke. 
on Wednesday me and Hermana Freeman got to go on teams up and go have a lesson with Carl and man we met together a few weeks ago. when we met him we prayed that day that we would find someone who 1. we connected with 2. we would be friends with in real life 3. someone who needed us. on Wednesday we realized that god answered every single part of my prayer. 
then one day we were going to visit some of our friends that we haven't been able to talk to in a while, when we got out of the car i was like god if they need to hear this message let us talk to them, we walk up to the house and she is standing outside with her little baby!
the other day we went to HOOD my favorite place, aka mexico, we went and got our favorite cookies tru-blu so good and then did studies by the river. then we had a blitz i was with sister stuart we went to my best place florin ( the street where miracles always happen). we saw my best friend justin and his dog buddy we gave him a Book of Mormon a  few day ago to and he is just so cool. then we went to the home depot off of florin (there  are a lot of people who sit and wait for work) so we went up and started talking to people it was so cool. they were the sweetest ever, they were all so surprised that i spoke Spanish and they told me that it was so good and that they could understand me so that was the COOLEST. 
yesterday was unreal! miracle 1, we go to see this family that lives in a gated community and no one ever goes in and out of there, so i was like if god needs us to be here then a car will come. then 4 cars come out all at the same time. it was so insane. 
miracle number 2 that proves god is real. we were at another gated community and to get in you have to type a code in and the code wasnt working, we sat there for a few minutes and then this random guy just comes up from the street as he was walking types in the code and says there you go. that was it then he was gone! it was the craziest thing of my life.
god is real , god is good , life is good
lovvvee you all

Another best week

It has been the perfect week !!
On Monday we just went exploring all of sac. Got a lil vegan cupcake then we went to the coolest thrift store. 
On Tuesday it was our best day. 
We were doing studies then hna elizondo was like should we go see Fernanda and Maria. I felt like they weren't going to be home but that we should still go so we got up and left. We started walking to their house and we see this man who looks like he is dying. We were like are you okay and he said I think I am have heat stroke. So we went and got him a water from the gas station it was buy 1 get 1 and they are 32oz so a lot of water. So we put 1 in the car and go give him the other. We also asked him if we could do anything else for him and he said no. So we went to go see fernanda and Maria. They weren't home. So we start walking back and we see that he has already drinking all of the water we gave him. So we go to the car and get the other water bottle and go give it to him. Then he starts talking a little and we sit down and talk to him. We talked to him for like an  hour. He had a really hard life. He grew up In jail pretty much he said this was the longest he had been out of jail. His family didn't care about him. His life was so hard. And we just sat and listen and then talked about how God is always there for us and how he cares about us so much. It was my best moment I saw a broken man change right before me  he started to smile. It was a miracle. God had changed him. He thanked us for talking to him and said that he had been walking all night and day, not knowing where to go. He said he had been so angry all day at every one getting mad at every car that passed by. But he said I feel happy now. It was the most amazing experience of my life. One simple act of kindness Turned into a life changing moment for all three of us. 
Later that night we played bigger or better as a zone (all the missionaries in my area) so we chose to share a message about faith and talked about how faith starts so small but then grows bigger and bigger over time. So we started out with a penny and then traded for so many cool things. Ended up with a cute lil hand painted pot  and some way cute clothes. we didn't win, but we won in our minds. Also this night we prayed for a sunset something so small but we knew God cares and guess what he does. We had the most beautiful sunset of our lives it was so Incredible! Then we just drove home listening to our music looking at the most beautiful sunset thinking about how good God had been to us. 
Then on Thursday we zone Conference in Stockton. It was so good. One of the coolest things happened this day. At night we went to go see a less active member, we heard some one out back but the door was blocked kinda by trash can like it was resting against them. So I was like don you think we should go back there and the door open no wind nothing just opens. Then I was like so you think that's a sign we should go in opens even more. God is real!!! It was the coolest moment of my life. So we went and talked to them and had a really good lesson!
Then on Saturday we were out in the morning and we were parked in a parking lot and I see this man walking and I thought we should talk to him. Then I was like no we already have a plan of where we are going the car is on and everything so I drove away. Then we drove by him and I was like we have to talk him then I was still like no then it came again so we went. I hurried and parked in the McDonald's parking lot and the whole time I was praying that we would be able to talk to him. So we get out and I was like we missed. Then I see him turn and start walking toward us. It was such a cool experience. We told him about the plan he has for us and how he is always there  he told us thank you so much and that it was just what he needed  
So many more miracles have happened to many to write life is so good. I have never understood those many scripture that say that they couldn't write everything until now. I have always just thought when reading them that they so could have written more. But now I get it. There is not enough room or time to write down all the many Miracles i have seen on my mission. 

I love you all

Another best week photos.

Another week of miracles

ANOTHER WEEK OF MIRACLES

this week has been so cool 
on Tuesday i hit six months so that was cool, it is so crazy how fast time is going, time is not real, it is so fake. i feel like i just got here. 
Tuesday was the funnest! me and Hermana freeman were companions that day. 
that day we got passes for the train and just rode the train and walked all over Sacramento. we got a parking ticket because we are dumb... so thats fun :) , we also talked to more than 100 people that day, it was the craziest! 
so many amazing things happened this day 
1. we got on the train and talked to a lot of people, then we got off where we felt like we should. then we walked for a lonnnnngggg time and then stopped a lil Mexican store and got drinks because we were dying, when we were there we talked to this man for a minute from mexico and he was way cool. 
2. we went to a college we talked to so many people we met a man who was ordained by Jesus in the mountains when he was hiking and said he could heal anything he touched it was way interesting . 
3. we ate at the coolest sandwich shop in the world
4. we then prayed to find someone who was ready to hear the Gospel and that we could connect with, then we got on the train a got off at florin my new favorite place. when we got off we saw a lady siting in the corner of the parking lot so we went up and talked to her. we couldn't understand anything she was saying, and i was like why are we here, then the thought came to me "this is where Jesus  would be" that moment changed my life. because Jesus didn't talk to only those who were rich and popular he talked to those who were lonely, afraid, broken and those that needed help. 
then we saw another man and we went up and talked to him, he just moved here from Guatemala and he is all alone.
 all of his family is still there. he was so excited when we told him we had a church that was in Spanish.
5. then we stooped a man walking on the street and it was then we met the person we had prayed for. he was so ready to hear this message we connect so much with him. we gave him a book of Mormon and then we felt like we should ask him what he wanted anything in the world, and he was like anything? and he asked for a change he said that he wanted to change his life. so we were able to promise him that if he read the book of Mormon his life would change.
6. then we walked more to the home depot and we talked to a lot of people, they were all so nice and wanted to learn more and asked us to come back and share another message with them. 

the day i realized that Sacramento is my home:
so this day we went on a thing called a blitz its where we go to someone else's area and go find people for them. so we went to this area and it was the nicest area i have been to in 6 months it was so nice i felt like i was in Disneyland it was insane, there were so many 2 story houses it was the craziest things ever. then we went back to our area which is my home. i didn't feel like i belonged in the area i felt so out of place and then right when i got back to my area i felt like i was back at home. 
then we went to visit a friend in an apt complex and we see this man walking toward us and we had met a man the other day that was way cool but we didnt know where he lived so it was kinda sad and then we were like how cool would that be if that was victor (the man we met a few days ago) and it was!!!! god is real. also then yesterday we saw victor again!!! you cannot tell me god is not real. 
then we went to the 7 eleven because we needed water and we saw a few people we knew it was so cool because they remember me and i remembered them and it felt like i was at  home. we saw eric again the man we randomly took a picture with a few months ago and he was like i want to come to church so we gave him the address. but we didn't really think he would come. thennnnnnnn yesterday he walked in to church. and he was like 5 mins late and he was like so sorry i am late i walked here. he walked 7 miles to get to church he walked for over an hour just to come to church! it was so cool. he loved church so much and he brought his Book of Mormon  with him and he said that he has been reading it and that it has changed his life. he loved church so much he stayed for the other wards meetings to. 
yeahhhh that is life. it is so good. i am truly having the time of my life out here. god is good. 

love you have a good week
