3 MONTHS???

Hola a todos!!

Tomorrow marks 3 months as a missionary and one transfer done here in Mesa! Kinda crazy that I've been a missionary this long already. Feels like I've been doing this my whole life but also I just started?? Anyways I'm staying here in Adobe for the next transfer with the same comp which is good! We are excited for another transfer together and she's awesome so I'm excited. This week was honestly pretty boring and chill. Nothing super interesting happened but I'll give you guys some highlights.

I gave a training in the visitors center in our meeting on Wednesday and talked about baptisms for the dead in the temple and it was super fun! I miss being able to go to the temple whenever I want but I am super grateful that I get to go once a transfer. I talk about the temple in like every email, I just love the temple. 

We had such a good lesson with Margarita and her family and ironed out some details for their baptism. One of her kids kept asking questions and she asked about prophets and we explained it and then she goes "oh so they are like you guys" and we were like "uh no we aren't prophets" it was super funny haha we all just started laughing during the lesson. 

We had a music devotional and noche de España this week and there was this man walking around outside the church building the night before when we were helping set up and one of the members invited him to noche de España the next day and he came and talked to all the members and then came to church the next day. It was so cool and he lives in our area so we are gonna start teaching him!! 

Otherwise it was a pretty normal and chill week and we knocks lots of doors and had some super good lessons. 

I lost my Book of Mormon for like 3 days which was really sad cuz I don't like reading on my phone very much so I was super bummed but I prayed real hard and found it in the VC so that was a miracle! 

Something I liked from my studies this week is part of 2 Nephi 25:23 which says "to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do." I like this because after we have done all we can, we know that we will be carried through the rest. If we give our best effort then the Lord will help us as long as we have the desire to be better and desire to become more like Christ.

Love and miss you all and hope you have a good week!!

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!!

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...
