we keep finding pea sized cockroaches

This nice lady took our picture while we were out knocking doors and emailed it to us...

hola!hola!hola!


This week FLEW by. I cannot believe it is Monday!

This week we had zone conference with the Canoga Park zone. I was in that zone for my first 5 months, so I loved talking with them about my old investigators. AND GUESS WHAT!?!?!?!?! I had a dream a few weeks ago (stay with me here) I had a dream that Hna M.....(remember them???) told me she was getting married at the end of July, so just for laughs, I sent them a letter asking them if they were really getting married. Turns out they are getting married in NOVEMBER! I was just a few months off ;) I AM SO EXCITED! This is a huge step for their family. This is a huge obstacle that has kept them from being baptized. That will be the best way to end my mission. Seeing Hna M.....  get married. Hopefully Presidente Henrie will give me permission to go. The next step will be baptism and being sealed in the temple. (the LA temple is in Santa Monica. That is why I said Santa Monica)

OTHER RANDOM STUFF:
1. Our mission is getting the black boxes for the cars in October! I am pretty sure Marysa had them in San Diego. They are the boxes that record reckless driving and tell us to SLOW DOWN! Thankfully my drivers license expires in October hahaa  (unless you can renew it mom)

2. Our apartment is getting fumigated on Wednesday. It is not a gross apartment, but we keep finding pea sized cockroaches around our kitchen. GROSS! Every night we sneak into the apartment, I grab a shoe, and we hurry and flip on the lights. Then I go to town killing the cockroaches. That got pretty old, so we finally went and told our apartment manager!

(The church played a trick on us. They gave us these booklets, but we are still not getting Ipads! At this point I do not want an ipad...I have made it this far without one.)

( i heard Finding Dory came out. Here is our version. )                                                                                                                             3. Zone conference was all about faith. Here are                                                                                           my favorite quotes:
    Miracles are the fruits of faith- Jose Smith.
    "The word hope is sometimes misunderstood. In our everyday language, the word often has a hint of uncertainty. In the language of the gospel however, the word hope is SURE, UNWAVERING, and ACTIVE."-True to the Faith. 

4. Brother and Sister Crow took us out to dinner again. They are great!

5. On Fridays we do a district workout at the church gym. We were playing Sharks and Minnows,a child's game, but apparently everything has to be super competitive, so district workout ended with our district leader breaking his elbow. Thankfully he doesn't have to go home for surgery! Hna Gomez and I bought him some cool socks and some elbow noodles to make him feel better hahhahaa

Alright I am running out of time. I love you mama! We are seeing many miracles in our area. Our ward is starting to catch fire...we hopefully will have a mission leader soon. We are seeing a lot of success with less active work. One of my favorite feelings is seeing a less active family walk into church, and then seeing the ward being so welcoming and supportive!

I LOVE YOU MOM!
