Cloud Nine!

Firstly, everyone, I am so deeply sorry. I forgot my camera. Double

pictures next week, I suppose!

Oxnard. Oh, Oxnard. I am in love with this place. We have had such an

incredible week! I can't handle it! First miracle is our investigator

E. She is incredible! She was originally set with a Baptismal date

of May 30th, but is undergoing chemo for cancer right now, and she

knows this is true, and just doesn't feel like she can wait, and so

she wants to move her date to the 12th! We have a lot left to teach

her, but she said she is willing to do whatever she needs to to hit

that date. (It is also her birthday.) We are so excited! She is

incredible. We are also working with our investigator S. towards

baptism on the 16th. Her mom and brother are members, and she is

excited for her baptism! She is keeping all of her commitments, and

progressing well. It is so incredible to see people have such a desire

to be baptized. They make the work so exciting. This area is just so

booming right now. We got a lot of referrals this week, and saw tons

of miracles. This next week is going to be great. I just feel so at

home here. The ward is incredible. I have missed Spanish congregations

so badly, it is SO good to be back. The ward is so welcoming, and

awesome, and I literally never ever want to leave. We had the most

incredible Family Home Evening on Friday night with a few members, Recent Converts, and

investigators. We watched the "missionary mom" section from Meet the

Mormons, and shared why we want to serve. The spirit there was SO

STRONG, and it was the most incredible experience. The whole week has

pretty much followed that pattern. INCREDIBLE! I LOVE IT!

This week, we started this AWESOME zone goal, that has had us studying

the Book Of Mormon, looking for specific things about being led by the Spirit. It

has built my testimony, and love for the scriptures so much. I know as

we go forward with faith, the spirit does guide us, and we are always

where we need to be!

We did some service for members this week, and it was great. They are

starting to see how service allows us to fulfill our purpose, and I

know as we go forward, we will get more opportunities to serve.

It has been such an awesome week. I feel like I am on cloud 9. This is

what being a missionary is all about! I LOVE IT! Life is good my

friends. Life. Is. Good.

I love you all. Have a great week! Stay awesome!
