Week 31 - Sonoma Valley


Hola mis amigos!! Espera que todos es esta bien y marvillosas!

Goodbye Hermana Garcia
So transfers are happening this week. I am a trainer now, so I'll get a brand new missionary and I'm getting transferred to Woodland (right next to Sacramento)! I'm nervous but I'm also excited, the Lord knows what he is doing so we will see how things go! I'm sad to be leaving Hermana Garcia though she will also be training so we're in it together! It has been super sad to say goodbye to people here I've come to love them quite a bit. We will see how Woodland is compared to Sonoma! :)

This week on Tuesday we had exchanges and Hermana Rivera came to Sonoma with me! It was so so fun. She is learning English and she has only been learning for three months and it's SO good! But we talked in Spanish the whole day and although my Spanish isn't perfect I really really love speaking the language. Hermana Rivera and I had an awesome day and I learned so so much from her. She's very diligent and very good at recognizing the spirit. We taught Javier and he said a prayer with us. Now this is a huge step we have been trying to get him to pray since we started meeting and he finally did today! It was so awesome and the spirit was there, don't worry though he still had some very random questions for us.

Wednesday night was a fun filled night! An Elder and Hermana in our zone served in Sonoma a year ago and our both finishing their missions this transfer. So people from Sonoma invited them over. So 8 missionaries had dinner at Hermana Peñas house and then 6 of us visited with Jeremias and Aida who took us out for ice cream. To say the least I was way to full to function but it was a super fun night, mucho español y divertido, tengo mucho amor por los miembros aqui y tambien esta zona!

This week I want to bear my testimony again about the power of the Priesthood. I was able to receive a blessing this week and during the lesson we had after the blessing I was very much able to see, with the help of the spirit, the blessing of strength and comfort that was given in the blessing working in me. It was such an amazing feeling and it was very cool to see the difference the blessing had made. I'm so so beyond grateful that this priesthood power has been restored to the earth what a privilege it is to be able to work with it in the mission field!

Well I hope your week was super amazing!! I love you all!! Have another great week.

Con muchisimo amor
