Muchos Bautismos En Septiembre (Dsperamos)

Hola a todos! Miss you guys and hope you all had a good week! My week was pretty good. Somehow I've been here in Mesa for almost a month already which is crazy. Anyways Hermana Jones leaves tomorrow which is sad. She's taught me so much and she's an awesome missionary. Also she's been the translator for me and Hna Gonzalez so the language barrier will make things a little harder but it'll help me learn Spanish so it'll be good. This week felt kinda long because we had 3 exchanges. Two normal ones and one in the VC. But things are still going great and we have 4 more people on date for baptism so 5 total right now which is absolutely awesome!! Also we combined with another area and played with nerf guns during district sports last week which was fun! Something I loved from this week was watching the sunsets cuz the sunsets here in AZ are gorgeous every night and always make me smile!

Ok so I had an exchange on Tuesday with Hermana DeMarco and it was fun! She went on a run with me in the morning which was soooo good! It's starting to cool down a little bit here so running in the morning is actually tolerable now which is good cuz I'm getting fat from all the double dinners and mexican food. Anyways we knocked a bunch of doors and she loves singing so she wanted to sing to people when they opened the door. Like Christmas caroling but it's not a Christmas song and it's also 105 outside. Also we got bananas in a lesson. Anyways that was basically my exchange haha it was fun!

I love it here in my area and I love the people we are teaching. This week 4 more of our friends accepted the invitation to be baptized so we are super super excited about that! Which means if all goes to plan we will have one baptism every week for 3 weeks in a row which is so crazy and exciting! The lady who agreed to be baptized a couple weeks ago has 3 kids who are old enough and 2 of them want to be baptized on the same day as her and one of them wants to pray about it first. The dad is a new member and he wants to baptize them all which would be so cool!

Something I liked from my studies this week is from a talk called "A Yearning for Home" by Dieter F. Uchtdorf. A quote I like is "No, following the Savior will not remove all of your trials. However, it will remove the barriers between you and the help your Heavenly Father wants to give you." I like this because even when we are following Christ and being faithful, life will still be hard but the closer we get to Christ, the smaller the barrier gets between us and the help that our Heavenly Father can give us.

Next week my pday will be on Tuesday cuz we are going to the temple! Anyways love and miss you all and hope you have a good week! Btw I can't use google photos anymore so in the meantime I will just attach as many photos as I can in my email each 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

Image
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...
