Provo MTC Week 2

What's up everybody! Miss you all so much. Hope you are doing well and life is good.It feels like I have been a missionary my entire life but somehow it's only been 3 weeks??? I'm officially a third of the way done with my time at the Provo mtc and there have been so many blessings and tender mercies!! It has been hard and tiring but I am learning and growing so much! The days just blur together and if I wasn't journaling every day I would not remember anything. Also one of the sisters in my district has strep and I woke up with a sore throat today so wish me luck. 

We started Spanish immersion classes last week and it is so much fun! It's easier than I thought it would be and my teachers are awesome and so patient with us. We aren't allowed to talk in English at all during our 3 hour classes everyday so by the time I walk out of class at the end of the night my brain is mush. We celebrated the 4th of July and got to watch the stadium of fire fireworks over the gate which was epic! Also me and my comp got almost a perfect score on our last english helping others appointment which is basically a mock lesson with actors who pretend to be investigators. It went great and we didn't follow our plan at all but somehow it flowed so well and we just let the spirit guide us! We taught her the importance of prayer. We walked out of that lesson feeling so good. It was great! 

I have met so many nice people who have comforted me when I am sad or overwhelmed. Everyone here is so kind and I can tell how they emulate Christ and have his light surrounding them. Earlier in the week one of the Sisters in my hall gave me a bracelet that says "SMILE" and during the devotional last night Sister Pace said "nobody wants to be a part of a grumpy church. Smile!" That has been a good reminder for me. 

Adjusting to the reality that this will be my life for the next year and a half is sometimes overwhelming. Sometimes I doubt that what I am doing is right but God is so good and I know that the peace and comfort I have received comes from him. I am so grateful for the power of the priesthood and for prayer. These things have blessed my life so much and I am excited to get to teach people the importance of it all. 

My dad sent me a talk called "Agency or Inspiration" by Bruce R. McConkie from the 1975 New Era. I don't even know how he came upon it because I could not find it lol. Anyways it's a great talk so everyone go read it.

Join my google photos if you haven't already! I post silly pics throughout the week so feel free to join and comment and what not!


Thank you to everyone who supports me. I love you all and am grateful for you. Don't forget that God is in the details and remember to pray always because he hears and answers your prayers. Whenever you can, get on your knees to pray. Love you all. Email me whenever!

Christmas On The Mish And No More Lights!

Image
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...
