"Insert
Title Here"
Transfer calls have come and.....I'm staying in
El Camino! Most of my district is leaving and I got a call from the assistants
to the president last night and ....... turns out .... I'm training a new
missionary who is coming straight from the MTC
President has started a super cool new thing
called "Knock Out" hour, where from 4-6 every day we just knock doors
and find people.
We went to get free Slurpees at the 7-11 twice!
They were so yummy.
Here's a super sweet quote about prayers:
"In His mercy, the God of heaven, the Creator
and Ruler of all things everywhere, had heard a prayer of a very minor thing.
One might ask why He would concern Himself with something so small. I am lead
to believe that our Heavenly Father loves us so much that the things that are
important to us become important to Him, just because He loves us. How much
more would He want to help us with the big things that we ask, which are
right?" -Elder Cornish, Ensign
love you all! con carino,

"Woo!
Summer lasts until September here!"
It's been quite the week -- as usual, I mean,
we're missionaries...and we have missionary work to do!
This week we've been working on stating simply and
clearly the gospel truths. I found this awesome quote from "Preach My Gospel"
book:
"Know that truths so well that you can state
it clearly. To be known, the truth must be stated and the clearer and more
complete the statement is, the better the opportunity will the Holy Ghost have
for testifying to the souls of men that the work is true" (pg 182).
One of the coolest things as a missionary is all
the time that we are given to study; you truly learn so much and strengthen and
deepen the testimony of the truths of this gospel. I am forever grateful for
this indepth time I have to truly study the scriptures. To learn from
obedience, and share what I learn to help others in their lives. :)
Had an amazing experience this week-- after
constantly being denied and having doors shut in our faces, and given all kinds
of excuses, we knocked on the door of a VERY prepared husband and wife :)
Victor and Nora let us in and we shared a quick lesson about the Restoration.
They had AMAZING questions and we were able to hand them the Book of Mormons we had randomly placed in our bags earlier
that day :) They are so amazing and so nice, right off the bat we felt a
happy spirit and we testified of the truth
Anyway, lots and lots happen every day, by the end
I am sooo ready to sleep! There are many miracles in our lives daily and I love
you all! Have an amazing week!

"Ain't
No Rest for the Missionaries"
Thank ya'll for the wonderful packages and notes
and love!! Hope you enjoy the cute photos as well :) I LOVED all the cards from
the family reunion and I was so very happy to get my own Tshirt! The Survivor
one is my favorite!
I'm loving El Camino ward and the members are so
cute -- Hna Adriana Rodriguez gave us some awesome bike shorts and we got shoes
perfect for biking and proselyting!! Then we celebrated our birthdays with some
cake :) She's getting us some cute sweatpants in a few days as well -- she's
sooooo cooooool!!!!!! I love her tons and tons, she's preparing to go to the
temple in October ahhh! :D :D :D
This week we've had a lot of adventures and have
had some awesome lessons and testimony-bearing moments :) I love this work and
this gospel! This week I learned that sometimes things fall through over and
over again, but the Lord STILL has a plan for you and we can control our
attitudes and reactions and still be optimistic and have fun with it all :)
Love you all tons and tons! Enjoy your weeks!
Con carino,
Hermana Day
