Good morning family! Sending you a great big hug! I hope that our Father in Heaven is taking care of you and blessing you everyday.
Well, to start, TRANSFERS: I am going to stay in my same areas of Solvang and Lompoc and I am going to stay with Hermana Zarate. But we are going to change apartments! My new address is:
401 W. Vine #130
Lompoc, CA 93436
And also, now we're not going to be the the ward in Solvang :( Just with the Spanish group in Lompoc. I am super excited to be working only in Spanish, but I am also sad to leave the members here in Solvang. These last 3 months here with them have been so good and I am excited to serve another 6 weeks here.
Well, Blake left for BYU-I! We are excited for her and we are hoping that everything will turn out and that she can meet lots of people and feel at home.
Ok, so last week we received a message from Presidente Felix letting us know that on April 19th everyone had to go to Ventura for a special mission meeting. But his didn't tell us why. We yesterday we drove to Ventura and everyone was there. It was so cool to see Hermana Shepherd, Hermana Clark, and all of my friends :) So we were there sitting, just waiting when Presidnete Felix came in with David Archuleta. It was so weird and so cool! Turns out that David had to do something in Los Angeles today and he wanted to visit the missionaries first. So we talked with Presidente Felix and he said it was ok. We had a devotional and it was such a cool experience. He sang a few songs and shared some of his experiences from his mission and from his life. My favorite part of the program was when he shared Alma 37:6-7
6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
7 And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very smallmeans the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls.
It's the little things that we do that make such a big difference. Sometimes we don't realize but after a while we can look back and see the difference then and now. After that he sang "Come, Come, Ye Saints" and he was singing in English and then on the third verse he sang it in Spanish and then spirit was so strong there. I have heard and sung that song many times but when he sang the words, "All is well" I felt in my heart that these words came from our Heavenly Father. And that He was telling me that everything was going to be alright. Even when we feel that everything is hard and we feel alone and frustrated, everything is going to be alright.
Here is a video of Daivd singing a song that he sang to us yesterday.
I love you all so much, have a great week!!
