week 19

We were sick this week 🤒😷🤧🥴. The sisters tested positive for covid so we could not go knocking doors. We made lots of videos about prayer in Arabic and messaged lots of people who commented on our Facebook. 

We accidentally called someone in Lebanon? We were calling the people on our phone whk we didn't know to ask them If they are members of our church or if they have met with missionaries and would be interested in meeting with missionaries again. One of those people we called was the wife of a member in Lebanon. Why do we have her number? What was going on to get her number? No idea. It was comical when we found out Tho. Her husband texted us and said that he was grateful for us missionaries! 

My testimony has really grown about prayer. I have seen as we pray for our friends and our families. that our prayers have been answered. Our friends have been praying and reading and they are coming to church. Faith is super important when it comes to praying. like alma says, faith is like a seed and when you plant that seed and nurture it with prayer and scriptures and church your faith/seed will grow!!! let me know how prayer has increased your faith?!?!?!?

love you all and have a blessed week

week 18

Hello hello hello

This week has been so fun! We went on 2 exchanges, where we switched companions temporarily, and made so many new friends.

El cajon is such a fun place to be. There is always something interesting going on. The other day we got out of the car and we heard someone screaming super loudly for like 10 min. We were also at the library and a family was doing like family therapy? 

Our friend was sick this week and could not join us at church which made him super sad. He was able to hear a talk from one of our members. Church is super important because it brings us closer to Jesus Christ. 

I have been learning so much Arabic and can now share a little bit of a lesson and talk to someone at the doorstep. I know that the gift of tongues is real because I know that I could not learn Arabic this fast without the Lord on my side. 

This week I have really Grown a Deeper appreciation for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I can see the joy it brings people when they learn and understand what their Savior did for them. It is such a blessing to see them feel the Love OF JESUS CHRIST. I invite all of you to share your testimony with one person this week. Let me know how it goes!!!!I

 hope you all have a blessed week and know that God loves you!!! How have you seen him love this week???

week 17

Hello hello hello

I am now in El Cajon. And in a trio! It has been so fun. My comps are amazing they love to quiz me in my Arabic knowledge so I am learning so much faster than last transfer when I didn't have an Arabic sister with me. El Cajon is such a fun city. Yesterday a helicopter was circling the city announcing that they were looking for an at risk man. Apparently that happens a lot. 

We have a lot of lessons in Arabic and English like spanglish but with Arabic. We had a lesson the other day and the family had their door open but the screen door closed and a little kid walked up to the door started taking off his shoes and only when he opened the door did he realize it was not his home. His eyes went super wide. It was so funny. We were all laughing so hard. 

We had another lesson with a lady who requested an Arabic Bible and we stop by and she let's us in. We saw that when we walked in they already had a book of mormom! They were super welcoming and then gave us dinner. I tried a green date and it was so interesting and very very sweet. 

We were at a park and a whole bunch of kids came up and were so cute and sweet. They loved talking to us. 

One thing I learned this week is that God loves us all so much! I can only feel a fragment of the love that he has for all his Children. I love all the people that we talk to and interact with. I know that God is giving me that love and it's only a small amount. I know that God only wants what's best for us and he KNOWs what is best for us. Councl with him in all your doing and hear him. 

I hope you all have a blessed week and know that God loves you!!! How have you seen him love this week???

week 16

This week we have met many people who do not believe in God at all and meeting these people have made me sad. It is sad to not want to believe or believe that there is a God in Heaven who Loves you. And I know that it brings me great Joy knowing that our Heavenly Father Loves us. He loves each and every one of you. I have not only found Great Joy in Knowing that but I have also found Hope. I Want everyone to know that Their Heavenly Father loves YOU!!!

We had a friend get baptized on Saturday, he is so nice and seeing him being baptized and confirmed with the Holy Ghost was such a blessing. You could see how much Joy he had. 

I am officially done being trained. On Wednesday I will move to El Cajon and speak *Arabic*. 

Saturday I was pretty sick and had a fever so we could not go out and I slept all day. I was really sad that I could not find people who could have been interested in hearing our message. I have truly found Joy in the work and Serving the Lord. 

Love you all and have a blessed week

week 15

HAPPY MONDAY!!!! I hope everyone had an amazing Sunday and worship service. Tell me what you learned at church! 

We got a call from a woman this week and she asked us how soon can she be baptized. She was Muslim and she wants nothing to do with it. She wants to grow closer to Jesus Christ and she knows that baptized is a big step to do that. Pray for her that she will continue to want to grow closer to Jesus Christ. 

We knocked lots and lots of doors this week and met many friendly people. The many of the people we meet are so nice and I wish we could talk to them more and get to know them better but they are usually in the middle of something. 

We have a friend named Christian and he's such a cool guy, he's from Peru and know Spanish, Italian, and English. He is excited to learn more and to read the Book of Mormon. 

I have had so much fun learning aribic and I can now share a short simple testimony in aribic. But I want to share my Testimony with yall in English, I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and my Redeemer. I know that he loves me and cares for me. I know that the Book Of Mormon is another Testimony Of Jesus Christ. I know that you are all Loved by Jesus Christ and by our Heavenly Father. 

It has been such a blessing to be able to share my Testimony with others every day and help them know that their God is a Loving God who is their Father. I KNOW THAT HE LOVES ALL OF YOU UNCONDITIONAL. 

I did take some more pictures than usual so enjoy 

love you all and have a blessed week

week 14

Hello hello hello

 مرحبا مرحبا مرحبا

I hope everyone's week has been superb 

We had lots of Spanish lessons this week, my comp knows Spanish too. And many of our Spanish speaking friends love the book of mormon! We also had one farsi lesson with this family who immigrated from  Afghanistan to Chile to here. They are all super sweet and they want to be baptized.

Lots of door knocking happened this week and we had some great conversations about God and the blessing that we can have when we pray to him. But non of the people we talked to were interested in talking to us again. 

I went on exchanges, that means I switch companions for a day, with the young single adult sisters and we did some target finding. I have found that I much rather knock people's doors and talk to them there instead of talking to people in target. And I get very distracted in target. It's not very good. 

A member had us over for dinner and they made us shrimp and Grits. It was amazing. The only thing left that I need from home is some rain. Contrary to popular opinion, I love the rain. It gives the world a little clean. 

Yesterday I gave a talk in church about being a disciple of Jesus Christ and what it mean. I talked about how we all need to strive to be like him and follow the example he set. That we need to have faith, hope, charity, virtue, integrity, knowledge, patience, humility, diligence and obedience. I asked every to write down what they will focus on this week to become a better disciple of Jesus Christ and then reflect on how they did at church the next week. So I will ask you all the same thing. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS WEEK TO BECOME A BETTER DISIPLE OF JESUS AND BECOME MORE CHRISTLIKE? Let me know so I can ask you how you goal went. 

love you all and have a blessed week
