hola hola amigos! qué pasa?
so apparently YOU didn't do your job very well because california is on fire... but it's all good we're all safe. a handful of missionaries have had to leave their areas and be evacuated to my area (ukiah). we've been having our STLs stay with us in the red house, and 6 elders are staying at our stake center down the street....soooo.... THE BEST NEWS is that with all the new people our chair soccer tournaments are really taking off ;)
haha just kidding, chair soccer has been fun but it's been a busy week! we had a lot of really good lessons, and we finally got in contact with our friend maria! we had a great lesson with her and we read the first chapter of the book of mormon with her! she's awesome! I'm so excited for her to read more :)
some other exciting news: I'm staying in ukiah for another transfer with hermana morgan!! sister ah kuoi, and moala will be here too!! my other companion hermana miranda is going to woodland :'/ (but good news! she's training and she'll be a sister training leader too! she'll be awesome!!)
one spiritual thing I loved this week was reading come follow me! one of my all time fav scriptures out there (its probably one of your favs too) was in this week's reading. its helaman 5:12. it says,
"and now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
this time, it reminded me of a quote by Elder Holland, he said, "in spite of everything else this [church] may offer us, it will mean little or nothing unless we find Jesus at the center of it all". Christ is the center of the gospel and should be the center of our testimonies too. if we build our foundation on Him we cannot fall.
sorry that was a long one haha and if you read these all the way through thanks you're the realest haha have a great week! les amo mucho!
paz fuera!
