This week flew...

March 17, 2025

 Hola,

-Our friend Jose is on date!!  He took us to a Peruvian restaurant (bussin) and then we literally just invited him to be baptized. And the chef was literally hanging out with us while we were eating and turns out he was almost baptized like 20 years ago hahah. 

-biked in the rain some more 

-we are teaching this super cool young mom from Nicaragua. And she is so funny. She tries to speak English to us and it's the cutest thing 

-hno Tehuitzil took out for some Korean BBQ. It was absolutely delicious. Most expensive member meal I have ever had though...

-I have never been dropped by so many friends before in my mission. I swear like 2 times a week we get a friend saying they don't want to meet with us anyway. At this point we have just started laughing so we don't cry when they text us 

-getting transferred to chino with a missionary from England who goes home this next transfer. So I'm nervous, but excited! Hahah! Also u hear there are fields and cows in my new area so I couldn't be happier. But I literally am so sad to leave los Altos. They are literally my family. 

Helaman 10

4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments. 5 And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.

Monday night was actually so good. Sometimes Mondays can be difficult because you are just tired from pday. But we had some super cool lessons. One was this chick from Guatemala. And we prayed and she was like saying her own prayer at the same time and then she just kept going for about 7 minutes. It was honestly kinda scary. But it was funny. I enjoyed it. Then we went and taught this cute family. And the 8 year old could definitely could get baptized. She is so cute!!

honestly today was pretty good. I tried to keep the covo topics On the gospel and it helped me a lot. We had some super cool lessons! We taught English to this super cute mom. She is cool. And then we had a lesson with our friend Sara and I think she could definitely get baptized. We ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant and it was bussin! then tonight for dinner we went to institute, it was definitely kinda weird being there, but it was fun. I was on Mt. Sac where I ran the XC race my senior year in high school, so that made me happy.

What a good day!!! I went on exchanges with sister Joel. It was just healing for the soul. We went to the mall dur8ng lunch and I felt like a real human. We had Wendy's. My favorite! Am we had some super cool lessons and then we already started setting Up for the next fhe which is in month hahaha. Such a good day!!

Thursday: this day was just the craziest day ever. Like it was honestly super random. We first started off the day teaching an English class to this girl who doesn’t know hardly anything. Then we had a friend take us to a Peruvian restaurant and it was just he most random experience ever. Like the chef just kept talking to us and then apparently, he was almost baptized in our church at one point in his life. And then we invited our friend to be baptized right there, and he said yes hahaha. So April 6th woot woot. And then remember when i jammed my finger super bad like a month ago, well i finally told the mission nurse about it and she had us go to urgent care. And turns out my finger is fractured. Literally so dumb hahah. Then we practiced for our next play for fhe in the church

friday: Hna smith had her departing interview, so we did weekly planning with sister jones hahaha. There wasn’t much planning going on. then we biked in the rain most of the day, hna wright wasn’t too happy about that. OH and then we acted out the restoration to one of our friends and her granddaughter. It was super funny. Then we came home and I fell asleep on the couch because I am jsut exhausted hahah. SO all and all it was a good day.

Literally the saddest day ever. I had to conduct the music today and the last song we sang was God God be with you till we meet again. And I was up there balling my eyes out because I could just feel that I was getting transferred. It is actually so funny because last year at this time, I was crying because I wanted to go home, and now I'm crying cause I don't want to leave this ward. I LOVE THEM. But u realized I can just take weekend trips down here to spend time with them haha! We also went on exchanges today. It was fun. We didn't do much, but it was fun. I had some members offer their couch to me today so I can come sleep at their house. We also had testimony meeting today and I shared that scripture you sent Me the other day dad. It was good. 

Transfer news: I am moving to chino and my companion will be hna Terry. She is from England. And I am very very nervous to be with her. Like genuinely terrified. When I found out I literally had a meltdown.
