Week 1 - Home MTC

What’s up everyone!!! I have been a missionary for 10 days now and it has been so good! I was in home mtc all of last week and I go into the Provo mtc later today! Online classes were so long and but I have learned so so much. I am so ready to go to the real mtc! I am super excited to meet my comp and everyone in my district!! And hopefully see all my friends who are already at the mtc! 

There were around 600ish other missionaries set apart on the same day as me. Soooo many people are willing to serve and do the Lords work. It is so cool. To give up a year and a half or two years of your life to serve is not easy. I am proud of all my friends and family who are serving missions! You make me want to be the best missionary I can be. 

Shout out to my comp Hermana Fox, she’s so awesome! The first teaching lesson we had was on Saturday and it was pretty rough. Immediately after she FaceTimed me and we both just started laughing and were like “dude that was so awkward” haha it was so funny. Hopefully we do better next time.

Since I got set apart I have been able to feel the spirit so much stronger and so often and I think that has been one of my favorite things about being a missionary so far. Everything I do now is centered on Christ. It’s kinda nice not to have to focus on anything else in life except for being a missionary. Every time I stress about things in the future I just remember that what happens after my mission doesn’t matter right now. If I focus on the work I am doing then everything else will fall into place later. 

I have loved being able to hangout with my family so much and drink so much fiiz and eat so much good food! The Spanish is uh coming along I guess??? It’s so fun to listen to everyone in my district (me included) try and speak Spanish it makes me giggle. I already have like 30 pages of notes because everything my teachers say is so good and I have to write it all down! 

Some of my fav quotes from my study journal this week:

“You don’t know everything, but you know enough!” 

“The Lord blesses those who want to improve”

“Anything I can teach, the Book of Mormon can teach better”

“Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.” (An High Priest of Good Things to Come - Jeffrey R. Holland)

Here is my mtc address I’ll be there till August 6th. You can send me snacks or letters or whatever. I’m sure I would love some snacks cuz I’ve heard mtc food is not great

Christmas On The Mish And No More Lights!

Hello everyone! Espero que tuvieron una buena navidad! Miss you all! It was a fun and crazy week. Christmas on the mission doesn't really feel like Christmas but it was still really fun. We had our last day with the Christmas lights and not gonna lie I was ready for it to be done. It was so so fun and there were tons of miracles but it was super tiring. Also it's almost 2025 now which is crazy! We were in the vc a lot this week and I saw so many people I know! We got to give out lots of book of Mormons as usual, some in crazy languages which is fun. Also explained the temple a lot which never gets old. I love the temple so much. After pday ended last week we filled in for some sisters who were sick and couldn't come into the vc so we weren't even supposed to be there that night but I saw two families I know and it was a huge tender mercy. God knew I needed that.  On Christmas we went to the Porters who are a senior couple at the vc and we watched escape from Germany and...

"You Could Explain Yourself A Lot Better If You Spoke English"

Hello everyone! Hope your week was fun and you all had a good Halloween!  The title of my email is a quote from one of our lessons from this week with a guy we just met named Erick. Absolutely brutal comment. But it was funny and made us laugh. I guess my spanish skills aren't as good as I thought...but regardless of how bad my spanish was, the lesson went really well! Which is awesome and we were super grateful to have a real lesson and we have high hopes and lots of good goals for this transfer. We also had a awesome visit with Raquel. We dropped cookies off and heart attacked her a while ago but just haven't been able to get in contact with her for a long time so this was a knock or drop and on the third knock she opened the door and let us in. She's the sweetest old lady ever and she said that everytime she talks to us she feels really peaceful and that we are like her nietas or granddaughters and her angels. She's so awesome!  We dressed up as elders for the ward h...

Christmas Zone Conf And Miracles!

Image
Hola a todos! Espero que todos hayan tenido una buena semana!  Ya casi es Navidad! Christmas is in 2 days but it's still 75 degrees haha. Arizona is crazy. I am so so tired from Christmas lights. Fighting the urge to fall asleep every time I sit down somewhere. Ive also gotten so behind on journaling rip. But the holidays are fun so it's worth it. Knocked so so many doors this week. Had a friend named Diego come to church yay! Overall a great week! We had zone conference on Tuesday and it was so fun! We did a live nativity, had a "snowball" fight, ate good food, and got to hear lots of good spiritual messages. In our zone breakout we talked about how we can truly rely on Christ and give all our struggles and trials to Him and how He can help us through them. I love zone conference and it's always exactly what I need to hear. We knocked tons of doors this week and had some silly interactions but saw lots of miracles. We were knocking these apartments at like 8pm an...
