Amy's Adventures in Ventura: Gru and noodles

Yo!

Friday we went out to dinner with the Ririe's, hes the bishop of the YSA ward and they're basically our parents. They were talking about their 22 yr old son who has no variety in his diet, and bishop ririe is like "oh is that why he's having diarrhea all over the place?" And I'm like WWoah. is your son cool with you sharing this? so i asked sister ririe- is this your son that just got married..? But somehow in there they started talking about their dog RUFUS. I WAS SO EMABARASSED HAHAH but we were crying laughing for like 5 minutes

Saturday went tobby's for service and she let me have a spin in her "rig". Being friends with a paraplegic has its perks. Shes been watching sacrament from zoom at her house tho and seemed a lottt happier!

Remember Biranida from Paso? Her names actually Vianira and we've been saying it/ spelling it wrong for months lol. But her son Alfredo got baptized!! She had been put on date in Oxnard about a year ago, lost contact with missionaries, then about 5 months ago me and hermana wheatley found her and put her on date. Its been pushed back since then even tho homegirl has worked so hard towards it!! All she wants is to be apart of the church but she got to see her son get baptized and she was so filled with joy and the spirit.

Sunday we had been called to talk in our san luis group, and morro bay group. But morning of, bishop of the san luis english ward calls us and asks us to talk. So definitely had to rely on the Spirit for that one, but it was honestly the best one!! I usally do not speak that boldy but it was epiccc. I know that Jesus is always there to bear us up in times of need, even in the simple things. Sometimes it may feel like you arent getting any of His help, but i promise He is always there, and will not leave you comfortless (John 14:18).

A member even texted us after and said we "are both tied for 1st in excellent messages given by missionaries in the ward over the years."

Tuesday I had exchanges with hermana Stubbs... you all remember her. Anyways it was a long day, and i was counting my absolute blessings I'm with hermana Morgan now.

Wednesday we accidently had a packet of noodles washed in our laundry... it exploded and we got soggy noodles all over our clothes on the bright side I painted a Gru pumpkin tho!
