Adiós San Francisco - Headed to Oakland Temple - Companions (Oblad & Crowley) - Nothing Is Impossible With God - Everything Is Going To Be Okay

 


I said goodbye to one of my favorite places in the world on Wednesday. It was very bitter sweet for me. That's where I've spent most of my mission up to this point. I love the members there and the people we were teaching. It was a rough goodbye :( So I said goodbye to everyone and headed over the bay bridge to Oakland. 


Like I said last week I'm in a trio for 2 more weeks until Sami Oblad heads home. Then we will be in a normal companionship duo. It's pretty wild being companions with someone you know before the mission. We have spent a lot of time catching up. It's been fun :) I have another awesome companion. Sister Crowley has been out for about 3 months and she is killing it. She tries really hard and wants nothing more than to see people change their lives for the better. She's so fun.

My thought for you all today is Luke 1:37. "For with God nothing shall be impossible". Sometimes I feel that this is impossible. Sometimes it feels really hard. Other days are better. This scripture promises us that if we keep God and the Savior at the center of our lives anything is possible. Learning a language, playing for college, making it to the end of a worldwide pandemic. It is all possible because of Him. We don't need to have fear. Everything is going to be okay :)

Not much else to report on. The visitors center is fun and stressful. You know how it is. Haha. 

If any of you want a tour of the visitors center with me...PLEASE send me a message. I would LOVE to show you around the outstandingly beautiful Oakland temple and share my testimony with you. Seriously. Any of you are welcome. If any of you missionaries have friends that you want to see the temple we can talk to them too. :)

Hasta Lunes!!
