I felt so much peace and happiness!  - Zone conference was also rad to see all my mission friends!  - Had exchanges with hna van brocklin and it was so fun to learn from her! she only has one more transfer left so im soaking up all her wisdom while i can! Im at the same mission time right now as she was when i came into the mission which is CRAZY! Had tons of fun and met a lot of really cool people! Also im back on the english class live so we had to teach that  - The members here are awesome but i think my favorite is a man named Raul! Him and i have become fast friends! The thing about raul though is that hes deaf, and doesnt read or know much sign language so you have to communicate through made up gestures...

Did I have to throw my entire body weight on my suitcase to zip it up? Yes, yes I did. And yes i am literally 20 minutes away from my aunt in camarillo, and my moms here for a graduation and literally drove by the mission office where i was!  I was sad to say goodbye to beautiful SLO and all the amazing people. And the sandwich place.  First day in Oxnard probably the best day of my entire life because I SAW BAGLEY AND WHEATLEY!!!! two former missionaries (my mission mom) and my bestest friends totally surprised me and it was legit a tender mercy from God. I literally launched myself into her arms. So theres lots of pictures with them and if you watch the video: headphone users beware Oxnard has been an adjustment for sure! Literally like everyone is spanish and im overwhelmed with who to talk to f...
