Christmas in America is crazy!! We were given so much food! We hardly have to buy anything today. Im learning to knit and crochet so if anyones got any tips let me know I'm trying to makes some ties.

Also this week has been good Christmas is full of miracles!! Its Christmas everyday!

Merry Christmas ！ ！！!!

This week was crazy! We stayed in the house the entire week it was crazy, not much happened we didn't die we all tested negative except for my companion he was positive so I'm  not sure whats up with that... I love you all I'm going to get swoll and also I learned to knit I’m  saying goodbye to my rice belly.

Love you all, lots of miracles happened even in Quarantine God is great! 

Stuck inside learning to knit

Before I start this I have something important to say at the bottom of the email in the last paragraph so read that! 

       This week we got Quarantined because we have corona, on Friday my comp lost his taste so we have been inside since then except for when we went and got tested. Ill have to confirm later whether we actually have it. Its been whack we were pretty much back to normal missionary work almost and now we can't even go to see any other missionaries. I dont feel too sick so thats good. We've played some games and tried our best to stay productive and rest. Cause it feels like waves sometimes we feel exhausted sometimes we feel like its just a cold. So pretty cool stuff. I got destroyed in monopoly today I was the wheelbarrow. I also am learning to knit so i can make myself a tie or something. I love you all and hope you stay safe!

       

        If you have any time send me some of Your favorite scriptures from the Bible and Book of Mormon I'm trying to really understand the bible better for one of our friends. Anyway bye bye love you 

Christmas oranges and stuffys

This week someone i was talking to on face book offered us all the oranges on her tree! I haven't ever really eaten oranges so i think they are yummy, everyone else says they are too sour. But to me they are okay. Also a lady in our ward gave a a massive bag of dog toys that are pretty cute. We have ripped a couple of them up like a dog would but we also have given some of them away! We had a lot of good lessons this week we went out one night with our ward mission leader  it was really awesome he is helpful. Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat! Lets light the world!! Woohoo. A baby is born! Love you all bye bye watch the christ child! Its awesome!

Also if anyone knows how to read this mayan. Calendar please help cause it got us stumped. 

Thanksgiving

It has been pretty good here in Vacaville I forgot to email last week. Thanksgiving was pretty fun i learned how to solve a 7x7 rubics cube and we've just been trying to keep busy we've met two people that we're teaching and they seem really awesome! We also were in a foursome on Friday so that was fun. And we just went on a two hour walk because our car was getting fixed im tired. Also we had a missionary tour! From elder whiting who spoke in general conference, he was a funny man and it was an awesome thing! He talked a lot of being real and vulnerable especially as we share personal experiences and about the book of mormon so that people trust us and can relate to us more. So thats cool. Last week I ate a rotisserie chicken it was pretty yummy. I'm thankful for snacks right now and I am starting to try to be better at my dream journal again. I've been slacking but its fun love you all bye bye

Transferred

I got transfered to Foxboro in Vacaville its cool probably. My new comps are elder debry who was in Malaysia and elder Robinson. I'm going to learn Malay now. I'm in a two bedroom apartment with 6 people now instead of 5 bedroom with 9 so it's a little different. It should be good. This last week was also good we lassoed some more and got one of our friends to church virtually. We will also not be having in person church anymore. I love you all bye

We got bed bugs also painted a house

This week was pretty crazy it seemed pretty normal, we met with some cool people and for some reason It just was pretty good! We primed a house kitchen with primer and then ate burritos. I learned about planting trees from a member out in the Country and squeezed more pomegranates. And we got some jars of food from a member and had bed bugs but we were very cautious and no one got any bites and we don't think we have a problem now. Today I made a Pancho out of two towels.  We had a really good stake conference yesterday. I love you all! 

Almost sweater season

This week was pretty good, it got kind of chilly at the beginning of the week but it is warming back up again. We have been very blessed and lots of our friends are seeming to be progressing, on the other hand one of our friends went crazy and is blocked now. Missionary work is weird. 

We made a ton of brownies for Halloween and gave them to lots of people! That was fun and kind of harvest festival spirited! Also speaking of harvests we harvested 3 wheel barrows of pomegranates this week for a lady. I HAVE A TON of Cactus growing now. I love you all. Time is flying I want to Testify about testimonies! They are super powerful so if you didn't have a chance to bear your testimony yesterday you could do it today! I know that you'll feel the spirit when you do!

Bye love you all! 

We biked like 30 miles

This week was pretty great!  We went on exchanges and it was fun i was on a bike, we biked for like 6 hours! And played volleyball with some people we met! It was awesome! I lassoed this week and ate some sweet potato coconut rice ice cream burrito! It was yummy. We also ran into some cows! That was pretty good! We have been taking a lot of walks recently and that's been good talking to more people outside. We made a milkshake today. Hope you all are good bye bye love you all!

Bitter Melon also i did 185 calf raises

This week my dreams weren't as good, so I'm trying to be more mindful. We helped a lady fix a printer. And I ate an entire pomegranate with just my hands! We did more family history with another lady! That was really fun and we started teaching someone new! We have been very blessed! On Wednesday we had zone conference it was super awesome! I really learned a lot and have lots of stuff to work on! I have loved deepening my understanding of the book of mormon and learning the little details about everything! The more you know the more you want to share! We met a wrangler/charro on Saturday he was practicing with his lasso at the park so hopefully we run into him again so I can wrangle some cattle. Training is fun. 

A really cool story we were told there was a guy who walked across niagra falls and the people where like woooow! Then he walked back without his long stick, and the people were like no way!! So the he's like I will do something even more amazing! I will walk across the tightrope with a wheelbarrow! And the people were like yeah! And he said who believes I can do this and they were like we Doo! So he said great! All I need is one of you to get into the wheelbarrow and then the crowd went silent. So if we truly believe in Christ and his atonement, how will we get in the wheelbarrow to prove it? 

I really liked that sorry I didn't tell it very well typing is rough. I ate bitter melon and sweet potato leaves this week it was Gross but I got to many vitamins and minerals and the toxins left my body. Bye love you all 

Pomegranates and duck eggs

This week was crazy! It was a little slow but also pretty good! We had sume good stuff on Monday and Tuesday, we taught some new people and found some good people through service! Also on Wednesday we went to santa rosa! And we did some training and also waited for a long time because our trainy got some flights canceled. We did some more service the rest of the week and taught some more and one lady gave us a big box of pomegranates! So we have been eating lots of pomegranates and also we got some duck eggs from a duck pond, and they smelled really bad they were rotten. Yesterday was the first time we had in person church in the building! And it was awesome! Our stake president gave a talk about gathering Israel and read a lot of Ezekiel 37! Yall should read those chapters too! Also I got some good news a while ago I made Cactus juice, and I planted the seeds and now I have one Cactus growing!! And the apples are doing pretty good. I love you all bye bye!

We did tower of babel jenga! So we all spoke different languages it was fun. 

A pic with one of the 8 other elders I live with.

Dinner at the Bishops

Let's go Zion!! And plant a garden

This week was great we did so much service it was pretty exhausting and fun. We moved some firewood and cleaned some weeds and ransacked a terrifying backyard full of every thing imaginable. I don't ever want to collect lots of garbage. Also we unbuilt and rebuilt a dresser! It's been crazy. We have been able to find some cool people! Also transfers are happening and I thought I would be leaving woodland but I'm not!           I'm actually going to be training so that is fun I guess. Also our friends are doing awesome! Lisa asked us this week if she could be baptised! We have been working with her a while and shes just been thinking about if it was right for her and she even watched all of conference!!

Speaking of conference it was super good!!! I really enjoyed it and think yall should watch it!

       I really liked the talk about being Israel we need to let God prevail. Other things I liked is becoming a Zion like people and talking about Jesus more! I hope you all like it too! Bye bye

Serbisyo

This week we did a ton of service! We made a couple of Facebook posts about how much we wanted to serve people and a ton of people responded! It is crazy lots of them aren't in our area which is too bad but we are becoming pretty facebook famous. This coming week we have even more service coming up! It is really a blast to do yard work and things like that. We are so blessed and it's helping us
meet a lot of people! And preparing me to be a farmer. Any who other than that this week was pretty normal. It got smoky again this week so remember "only you can prevent wild fires" - smokey bear.

I love you all

The Lord blessed us with a garden

A couple of weeks ago we started composting in our backyard and we put old produce and stuff out there now we have corn and squash and maybe watermelons growing! So that was super cool! Also this week was pretty good not a ton of interesting stuff out of the normal happened but I was really glad to go to church yesterday morning in the parking lot. I am so grateful for the power of Christ’s atonement we are so blessed. I found a good scripture in Moses 3:8 yall should check it out. I love you all bye bye my apples are doing good.

Love you all!

Smelly tomatoes

This is crazy it smells like rotting tomatoes everywhere here! The harvest is finishing and there are just extra gleamed tomatoes everywhere rotting in the streets. Anyways it good we've been in the smoker for another week. Its been really dark in the mornings and orange. But we also had a super good week for missionary work! We stayed busy and that was awesome! We had some good lessons and contacts with a lot of people we hadnt talked to in a while. And even found a new person! I gave a talk yesterday morning at our kind of church on youtube it was awesome! I talked about receiving revelation and person scriptures study. So yall should be reading scriptures. You'll see miracles! I have!

  Last thing, Saturday night we pulled off on the way home and picked a bunch of prickly pears!! And then i juiced them in a cloth and got a whole two ish cups! It looked like i was killing something then i drank the blood. It was pretty good and tasted super healthy. I also translated the prophet said to plant a garden into cebuano. Any way i love you all!

Crispy mountains

This week was nice. We had zone conference and it was super good! We talked a tonavout receiving revelation and the hlly ghost it was super interesting and super awesome. And also it was in person which was super nice! And we drove through a very burnt mountain pass to get there! We also talked about how important it is that we are talking about baptism so it isnt such a big thing and so that our friends are more confortable with the idea. It was a good zone con.

    This week we did a ton of service too it was awesome and lots of fun. Overall it was an awesome week. My apples are still doing super good so no complaints. It was a little slower of a week and more boring but i just feel happy to be where i am for the time being as long as i can. I saw some super cool connection with nephi leaving the land of jerusalem and going to a better land of promise. I havent given up hope on going back to the Philippines but depende sa ginoo unsay buot sya.

I love you all be safe and have fun!
