Its been a good week!

Hello!

Pre thanksgiving dinner...
i think she likes me.. haha!

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your prayers and emails! I love you all so much and I hope your Thanksgiving was a good one!

It has been a good week! We have seen lots of miracles and as a mission we have been able to see 14 of our brothers and sisters enter into the waters of baptism! A true miracle!! We have been doing a mission fast for the last few weeks. Every day a different companionship in the mission is fasting to see miracles throughout their area and the whole mission! FASTING WORKS MY FRIENDS! We have our day to fast this coming Thursday and we are so excited! We set a goal to find a family who is prepared for the message of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and we are excited to working hard to achieve this goal!

Funny story of the week:

 the cat in our car 😂

 So, sister Espinoza and I were checking on some ward list names trying to get to know the members better. It so happened that it was raining like crazy and it was dark even though it was 6pm. Daylight savings is so confusing to me. Anyway, we got out of the car and we heard this cat noise that was incredibly loud. A small cat came out of nowhere and scared sister Espinoza so bad. The poor thing was SOAKED! We went to the home and no one was there so as we were walking back we kept hearing the meowing and so I told my comp to make sure the cat didn’t get ran over because it sounded like it was under the car. So she opened the door and then backed away real fast and said, "ummm sister..." I look inside the car and lo and behold the cat had jumped into our car and was making itself right at home! Sister Espinoza refused to grab it so I tried for about 5 minutes to grab this cat as it was running around like a wild banshee. I also looked like a crazy person waving my arms and running around the car trying to get this creature out! FINALLY, we were able to get the cat out by opening all the doors and scaring the living daylights out of it. I felt so bad. it just wanted to be warm. If the white handbook didn’t specifically say "NO PETS OF ANY KIND" I would have a new pet :) haha! Fun times on the mission.. Hopefully the vehicle coordinator doesn't find out that animals are crawling in our car.. :) 

Being sent home with thanksgiving is the best :)
 i love the Poulsens!!

 We were given the challenge to share the light the world calendars with all our ward members from our ward mission leader brother Poulsen. So, we have been spending lots of time with the members trying to help them know that every person, no matter their place in life, can light the world and serve those around them! I love the members of this ward! They have such a sweet spirit about them and I feel so grateful to help them know that they can all share the gospel. Members are the best missionaries. Without them the work doesn’t happen as well. This ward has such a desire to do missionary work and it makes my heart full of joy! Everyone that we are working with right now has had some sort of contact with a member and the member has introduced them to the gospel in one way or the other. Some of them just asked us to go by their neighbors and others invited them into their homes when we were there. This has been a testimony builder to me that everyone can and needs to be a missionary. We light the world with the saviors love when we share what we believe in word or action! I invite you all to see how you can do the same~! I promise you will see blessings as you do that! 

I love you all so much! i hope you have an amazing week!
