I got my new area!!!! Valley Center!!!~! it probably
is the best area in the mission for a few reasons! 1 f them is because
its the biggest area in the mission!!!!!!!!! form the two smallest ones I
get the biggest one it talks over an hour to get to one side to the
other in a car!!!!! second reason, its farmland/dessert!!!!! third
reason we get to go off roading in the mountains to get to peoples
houses! and lastly we drive a truck!!!! a 2014 Nissan Frontier. its
pretty mean not going to lie.
so my new comp is elder olvera, and he is a Spanish
missionary!!!! woot woot!!!! and we cover all of Spanish all English and
all YSA, so anything that's moving we teach!!!! its awesome! right now
we are so blessed because there is so much work here I didn't even know
that was possible!! our whole day we only go by investigators, its
honestly a huge blessing, and not only that but a humbling experience,
as I they called my name to my new area they gave me another leadership
calling to oversee some more missionaries and I am sure blessed and
excited to do so. I was surprised on how much work we actually do now,
this week I think we ate lunch 1 time and yesterday we realized we
hadn't eaten anything until about 7 o'clock. I am lucky enough to be
able to work with my new comp elder Olvera he is known for the hardest
working missionary in the mission, not going to lie, they weren't
messing around and we get work done!!!! I love the area! I love the
missionaries we get to work with and I love my comp!!!!!!! were going to
baptize the world these couple transfers we have together! our goal for
the next 4 months as a mission is a 111 baptisms I know as a mission
we can do this so just keep us in your prayers and it will all work out!
story for the week, we are driving and decide to go
to a members house and elder olvera didn't say exactly were he lived
and so we go off roading on this ranch ( dad the riding here would be
amazing by the way) and on this ranch we start to pull up to these big
rocks and he tells me to park and so I do, and we get out and we start
walking to this rock and all the sudden I see a that there has been
someone living here, he had made a house in this rock, there is no
running water or anything but honestly its not bad...... but when I met
this Hispanic man he was the cutest man I've ever met just the biggest
smile and so happy even though hes living in a rock!!! the people here
are so nice and the work here is amazing!!!
there are so many things that have happened and not
very much time to explain it but we had a baptism yesterday with Demetri
and it was a last minute baptism so we ran to the church building and
set everything up, I was in charge of the chairs and the room while elder
olvera did the font and the program and by the time the baptism started
everyone sat down and we started until I realized this was a Spanish
baptism but I had only put out the English hymn books, and this church
didn't have any Spanish hymn books so in the middle of the baptism I
grab a Spanish missionaries hymn book and I run to go make copies and
what do you know!! there is no paper!!!! so we had to rip out Linded
paper fro ma book and print it onto it and then we printed it off, it
was so much fun and it all worked out but ii still think that was the
most sketchy baptism anyone will ever see but it doesn't matter the
spirit was so strong I actually got up and bore my testimony in front of
all the Spanish people, even though they probably couldn't understand
me the spirit was there.
it has been such a great week and I am so excited to
work hard and give it all up to god! love you all enjoy this week and
hear from you next week!!!!!
