Hello Hello everyone!
This week was pretty crazy. We had transfers and we had to drive a bunch of people everywhere and had places to be so we didn't have much time to do other things.
We had the Mission Leadership Council this week and it was long. It goes from like 9 to almost 5ish. We got back just before dinner. It was great though, we are trying to figure out how to use technology better in our mission.

September MLC |
We also had District Council where we taught everyone what we learned at MLC. We have to sit up there for a straight hour and talk and it's super boring because we just throw a bunch of new information at our zone and try to keep them hyped about everything. It worked out in the end.
Miracle from last week: when I first got here in June, we met a guy named Ulysses while tracting. He was super cool and interested and then we lost contact with him for about 2 1/2 months. We tried to go by his house every week but he was never there or he was in the shower or something. But last week, we were in front of his house and this was going to be the last time that we try to see him before we moved on. We got out of the car and he opened the fence in front of his house as we were walking up the driveway and he invited us in right then and there!! We taught him and his wife and daughter all about the Plan of Salvation and also the Book of Mormon. They loved it and we are going back this week. I was praying for a family to teach recently and this is one of the many ways that Heavenly Father tells me that He listens. Ulysses and family have been reading the Book of Mormon as a family and praying each night. I'm grateful for them.
In other news, time flies. Last week, I hit my 1 year mark in the mission. It seems so unreal that 6 months ago, I was in Eureka and it was raining every day haha but I loved it up there. And now I can't believe that this is my 3rd transfer in Rohnert Park, I feel like I just got here. Over this year, I've grown to love the scriptures and the words of the prophets. I've also gained a much greater love for California and the people in it. I love having the opportunity every day to be an instrument in the hands of God. I love this work and I love being a part of the Lord's church once again established on Earth.
