But nope, got the news i was packing my bags and heading to San Luis Obispo the next morning!  Every time we have transfers i always say im getting rid of all my stuff and only keeping 1 dress to my name cause i have so much stuff. And then every time i somehow manage to accumulate more things!!  My last day we were just about to start english class and i get a call from the recent convert in Simi Marcos (he was my first lesson and first baptism ever!) Him and another friend from simi came to Santa Paula english class to surprise me!! I was so so excited and it was the best and most fun class ever!

not a lot of time so ill make this fast!  Random things - We had stake conference this week and elder clark of the seventy came and spoke! We had a special meeting an hour before the big one for just people who spoke spanish and it was super cool! Elder clark served his mission in Ecuador so he could speak to everyone without translation. and something that i thought was super cool was that he went around a literally shook every person in that meetings hand and asked their name and where they were from. Some where from Guatemala, mexico, honduras, el Salvador, and all other places and he took the time to look everyone in the eye and make them feel important.  - My district got to make breakfast with our mission president and his wife for pday! Every time i think i cant love them more they prove me wrong yet again. It was so fun and they taught us how to make so many fun dishes!  - Ive never really been in a dangerous situation or felt unsafe on my mission yet, you just li...

super belated feliz navidad and feliz año nuevo hooligans!  Sorry ab not sending an email pdays are loco. Just one less email in your inbox. But im back! Lets catch ya up to speed. A highlight reel: -We had christmas zone conference and it was incredible! We were supposed to have it on thursday but its been poooooouring rain here! Like dumping and dumping. At 2am we were woken up by blaring alarms from our phones giving us severe flood warnings and even a tornado warning!! We had a moment of concern but our exhaustion outweighed it so we prayed, turned our ringer on extra loud, and went back to sleep. We really said jesus take the wheel on that one. -Slept for a few hours but had to wake up earlier to travel for zone conference. We got all ready and then they rescheduled it cause of the weather, we shouldve known - When we actually had zone conference it was aaaaamazing!! Every district had a book of mormon teacher, title of christ, and christlike attribute and prepared a song...
