These wise words are so true and have helped me through the tough times.
This week we saw ALOT of Rain and Mighty Miracles!
Like pouring rain, which is quite fun to bike in the rain, and be soaked and the end of the day.
We have a friend, her name is Sheila!
She has come to church for the past 4-5 weeks ish and she will be baptised jan 15!!!. A few weeks ago or so, in second our of church we had a class on tithing, and she wanted to pay her tithing, but we said
"oh you dont need to pay your tithing until your a member" she said "well how do I be a member" we said "well you need to be baptised,so she replied "when can I be baptised?
so we are teaching and preparing her for baptism,
She is super funny! And remembers a lot!
We met another awesome family, the fathers name is Diego, he kept resqueduling us for genuine reasons but we finally got a lesson with him last friday!
This was probably the best lesson ive had on the mission so far, we taught the the message of the restoration of the church of jesuschrist, which includes, our loving heavanly, Families, profets, dispensations, and apostosies; josesmith, the book of mormon, and finally how the holy ghost works/revelation, etc, very intense lesson!
After we explained the book of mormon, we shared moroni 10 3-6, he read it and I was following along in my own copy, half way through he choked up and couldnt speak, I looked up and his eyes were watering, i felt it, my companion felt it, and I Know Diego felt it,
im very excited for Diego! He loves talking with us and every time we visit, he is just GENUINLY interested and i can feel his soul reaching for us! He is the Elect.
The holy ghost works in very different ways, and effects people very differently.
Story time
Our friend Mitzy, we have been teaching her English as a service, and shes making decent strides!
Our last lesson, afterwards, she accepted a spiritual message and we taught the restoration to her!
Although, every 2 minutes or so she would just burst out laughing!!! (Not in a mocking way) but Man! It was hilarous,
Elder Garrett thinks we "broke her" i believe she has never felt the spirit or anything similar too it so when that feeling came, it made her Laugh!
So fascinating to me!
For me i feel the most amazing peace, and a soft grin comes in slowly, and I always get the chills and a feeling like im floatings!
This whole week it has been raining pretty much everyday,
But on dec 31 saturday, we rode to my best buddie's house: hermana morale's house for dinner, she cooks some dang good food!!!
We arrived around 6ish planned to leave around 7:30 but thats when the cats and dogs came flooding in!!
So
We chilled in her living room blasting music and having a party!
She played zeppelin, Metalica, Blink 182, and allllll sorts of music for us, it was a good time,
After this it was still pouring rain, so she turned on her favorite spanish soap opera: Vencer La Ausencia. Very dramatic, and ridiculously cheesy,
The time is now 8:45, 5 miles from the house, (still pouring) so we just sent it!
Soaking rain! Bikes, luckily ive got an awesome rain jacket but the shoes and pants got some soaking! It was super fun!
The spanish is coming along great! I can speak, listen, and understand! But i am also humbled every single day!
But thats how you learn.
The work to gather israel here in California is tough!
lots of stiff necks and hard hearts! But Loui gray, my companion, all the missionaries here and I are standing strong and pressing forward!
My testimony of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon are firm and grow more and more each and every day! I love you all thanks for reading it means a lot :)

It means something truly special and unique to me, every one understands it different so I invite you all do find out what it means for you!
