If it isn't awkward, you aren't doing it right.

we may have found a mirror on the side of the street and put it in our car for our apartment....

 Thanks for the decorations mom!

a member gave us a bunch of passion fruits from her tree, so we could make a drink. It was very yummy!

 One more car selfie!

Hola Mom!

  I loved all the throw back pictures hahaa. The 80s/90s was a goofy time :) We loved the package mom! It was lots of fun decorating the apartment and eating the treats!

We had a pretty super duper great week! Here are some of the super duper great things that happened:

1. A few years back there was some confusion on where the ward boundaries were, so there are around 10 families that are going to North Hollywood 5th that should be in our ward. We have been working with the S..... family to get them coming to our ward. They finally committed to coming to our ward, and the first week they came they called Hermano S...... to be the second counselor in the bishopric. Also the ward secretary has started coming back to church after being less active/sick for a while. Now we have a full bishopric, so they can focus on getting us a ward mission leader!

2. They are starting the temple classes next Sunday, and we have two families that are working to be sealed in the temple!!! It would be a dream come true to see a family be sealed in the Santa Monica Temple!

3. I have been looking for this less active family (familia C......) since I came to this area. I met Hno C......... once a few weeks back, but he could only talk for about 5 minutes. Obispo Jacome asked us to talk with him, and when the bishop asks the missionaries to do something, you better believe we do it, and we do it fast!! Anyway...we have tried so many times to find him, and one day we were outside his apartment complex, and I caught a glimpse of him through the locked gate, so I started yelling, "HNO C............!! HNO!!!" hahaa I think my companion thought I was crazy, but it got his attention and we finally got to have a quick lesson with him! Like I always say, If it isn't awkward, you aren't doing it right.

We have zone conference this week which I am very excited for. I have been asked to lead the music. The assistants trolled me at first, and said I was assigned to sing a musical number... NO WAY! hahaa but I just have to lead the music, phew. The theme of this zone conference is Faith to Reap. Presidente Henrie gave us a talk to read called "Faith to Reap" by Elder Wilford W. Anderson. Elder Anderson teaches that there are 2 levels of faith. 

Level one: faith to try, faith to enroll, and the faith to thrust in our sickles (d&c 4)

Level two: faith to do, faith to graduate, faith to reap!

I know that if we are persistent, not perfect, we will have faith to reap! We will be able to reach our goals and reach our potential as we align our will with God's! Faith+Persistence the most powerful formula out there!

I love you Mom :) I hope you have a great week. 

love, love, love you!
