California!!!

Hey everyone!!

Okay, so CALIFORNIA!!! I'm literally so stoked to be in California, and to be serving the Lord! It's the best of both world's! We aren't exactly sure how long I'm going to be here, but I'll get my visa eventually and when I do I'll most likely wait till the end of the transfer and then go to Barbados. So to be simple, we are pretty sure that I'll be here for six weeks and then go to Barbados, but we will see what the Lord has in store! It's been so crazy trying to figure everything out, but it's also been such a blessing! This truly has been a test for me to rely on the Lord and whatever He has planned. Everyday I thank the Lord for my blessings and my trials, and I'm constantly grateful that I have the Lord to lean on. I've only been here about 5 days, but I've already learned so much, met so many people, and made so many new friends! Even though I wasn't originally called to the Oakland/San Francisco mission it will always be a part of my mission and I am SO grateful for it!!!
 

California is so much fun! I'm in the city of Pittsburg, California so pretty much in the ghetto. I'm also in another trio!! So my companions are sister bunch and sister liquiran. Sister bunch is from Kentucky and is my trainer. She has been out 8 months and is amazing!! Sister Liquiran is from the Philippines and she is so amazingly sweet! She only understands like half of what we say, but it makes life so much more fun. Today she taught me how to make Lumpia and I seriously suggest that you try it because it was so good! It's pretty much a Philippino egg roll, and it is delicious. Also, since today was P-day we had a district water balloon fight and it was fantastic! I have been so blessed to have amazing companions and districts so far in my mission (even though I've only had two). But everyone is so much fun and we all have a great time together!

I love you all so so much!!! Im so grateful for every single one of you and I am especially grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ. Each day I am learning more about His infinite love for us and I am seeing the miracles in my life from having faith in Him! Je t'aime!!!
