Silverado 

So kinda cool.... our van went in to be painted... and the mission let us drive the massive mission truck! It's a huge Silverado truck and I got to drive that bad mama jamma through the crowded streets of San Jose. Hah it was crazy fun, and one of the biggest lessons I've learned on my mission is parallel parking lol😂

The Silverado truck 👌

The Gift of Tongues 

So we spent a lot of time in the Spanish area this week and had some super cool experiences.  We taught the restoration to a family whos husband was from Africa,  and the wife was from the Dominican Republic and the husband spoke like 6 languages. Ha but our lesson was mostly in Spanish and Portuguese and a little bit of English. It was so cool. The spirit was so strong and just testified of everything we were saying. When it came to Joseph Smiths first vision I got to say it in English, and even though i only got bits and pieces of the previous conversation, when i started to talk about Jospeh Smiths experience I broke into tears and could hardly tell his experience. It was so amazing to me that even through language barriers and not being able to fully understand the lesson, it was one of the most powerful lessons. I love being a missionary and sharing this wonderful and powerfully true message.

Brother Repass our friend who is being reactivated 

He was so excited to come to church on Sunday he couldn't even sleep. He only got 4 hours of sleep because he was so excited and couldn't put the book of mormon down. Its incredible what the spirit can do for us if we will just let him in. But it was super cool because when he was leaving church the choir was practicing, and as he left the building they were singing 4 very powerful "HALLELUJAH'S" sister Patterson and I just watched him leave and listened to the music... it kinda felt like a movie not going to lie haha. But its been so cool to see how his life has changed over the past month. The book of mormon truly has changed his very outlook and perspective on life, and transformed him into a happier and more positive person. I can promise you the same benefits if you will just read it:)

Last but not least

We went on a super cool scenic adventure today for pday, and saw some live horses and cows. We got really excited hah and I almost got my ear munched on by a horse.... haha you will know the picture when you see it.
