Conferencia De Zona Y Muchas Milagros

Hola a todos! Hope you all had a great week! My week was pretty good. Time is starting to go by faster and this week was full of miracles!

I had zone conference on Tuesday which was good! On Thursday me and Hma Jones went to a different area for an exchange and there was a huge dust storm while we were knocking doors so we did some phone contacting in the car until it went away and Hma Palma, the sister we were on the exchange with, had us sing a song over the phone for not only one, but two different people. So we sang acapella families can be together forever in spanish over the phone two times in a row and it was so awkward and I basically just laughed the whole time.

We are teaching these two guys named Nelson and Ali and last Sunday we got them to come to church by sitting down on their couch and basically not leaving until they agreeded to come. It was kinda awkward but it worked and they came to church!

On Friday in the VC there was a lady standing outside the door so Hma Jones hit the automatic wheelchair button and the door swung open. Sometimes we do that because it catches people's attention and then they walk inside and we get to teach them haha. But it didn't work at first so we opened the door again and Hma Jones complimented her hair and she walked inside and we ended up teaching her all about baptism and the Book of Mormon and taught her at the temple model so we explained temple blessings and it was super cool! We gave her a Book of Mormon and she asked us if we had a church she could go to so we got her information and everything. It was such a cool experience!

Another miracle from this week was when we were driving yesterday, we were stopped at a red light and we waved to the guy next to us and then at the next red light we rolled down our window and asked if he wanted a Book of Mormon so we pulled over and gave him a Book of Mormon and he had the biggest smile on his face and said he was looking for a church to go to and it was just the coolest thing ever!

I restarted the Book of Mormon when I got to the field and I am reading through it a little slower because I am highlighting all the names of Jesus Christ and marking up the doctrine of Christ as I go. Something that stuck out to me from my reading this week is in 2 Nephi 9:41 which says "Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him" I like this because the path back to our Heavenly Father is not easy but it is straightforward and simple. He has laid everything out for us and he just wants us to be happy and live with him again. When we focus on the Lord we are blessed and we can become a blessing in the lives of those around us as well.

Also go tell my sister congrats on her new baby. Her name is Frankie Ray and shes the cutest baby ever. I'm definitely wishing I could be there to hold her but pics and videos will have to do for the next 16 months until I can. Ok that's all for today and sorry for the long email. Miss you all and hope you are all doing well!

No Más Elders Y Nuevas Clases

Hello everyone! How are all you lovely people?? Miss you all so much! Another week has gone by here at the Provo mtc. This week was definitely a little slower and there were lots of changes. I have like 5 more days here at the mtc so I am getting nervous and excited to get to my mission! All of the elders in my district left for the field and are all in their missions now. After spending like 11 hours a day with them for 6 weeks straight we all got super tight so it was sad to see them all go. They are gonna be awesome missionaries though and I am excited for the reunion once we all get home. Like half are going to BYU so we will cross paths which is so awesome! Also I started visitors center training which has been fun! I learned a bit more about what I am gonna do as a visitors center missionary and how that all sorta works so here's the rundown. There are 13 visitors' centers around the world. There are roughly 74,000 missionaries worldwide right now (I know crazy right??) a...

MTC -> MESA

Hello everyone! I've oficially made it to my mission! I left mtc 6 days ago and with traveling I missed my mtc pday and now my pdays will be Monday with one Tuesday pday every transfer because of the temple. Ok here's my rundown of the last almost 2 weeks with leaving mtc and arriving in my mission... I finished up my visitors center classes on a Friday and had a super spiritual ending to my last class at the mtc. I loved my teachers! Then the next day was saturday and we went to temple square for a full day. All of the visitors center sisters get to do it and it was super fun! My comp for the day was a sister from Australia which was so cool! We got chick-fil-a for lunch at the mall nearby and it was the best thing ever. It was so so good to eat normal person food after 6 weeks of the mtc food. Monday night took a bunch of pics and said goodbyes to all of my friends and then left the mtc tuesday morning. Had to say bye to my comp Hermana Fox and the other sisters in my distric...

One Month As A Missionary!!

Image
Hello everyone! I cannot believe I've already been a missionary for a month! So crazy!! I started home mtc a month ago today. I've got three weeks left at the mtc until I head to Mesa which is so exciting! But I've only got two more weeks of spanish classes because my last week here will be temple visitors center training which I've heard is fun so I am looking forward to that!  Nothing really happened this week. Just a normal week of classes and Spanish tutoring and studying and all that good stuff. Spanish is fun and we start SYL on monday which is basically where you sign a paper that says you can't speak english for an entire week. I have been playing basketball and volleyball in the gym with my district which has been super fun! For those if you who don't know I played basketball for 10 years so it's been good to play it a little bit again cuz I miss it sometimes. Anyways all the sisters wear baggy basketball shorts and big shirts so we all look like Ad...
