Nuestras Amigos No Quieren Reunirse

Hola a todos! Espero que todos ustedes estén bien! I'm doing good, still here in Apache Junction, AZ. It cooled down for about 3 days, but this week was back up to like 105 every day, so needless to say, I'm getting excited for winter haha!

This week was super busy as always and we had a bunch of meetings. We had training academy and had a super good training on helping our friends keep commitments and they drilled daily contacts on us so we have been making a better effort to do that this week. I also had a social media meeting. I got put on the social media team for my mission so everyone go follow Luz de Cristo on Facebook!

Our friends that we are teaching right now either don't respond, are super flaky, or don't want us to teach them anymore so me and my comp have been doing more service projects recently which I have absolutely loved! This week one of the things we did was help move stuff out of an old school. We were going to help move boxes from the trailer into a storage unit so we drove to the address but it was the wrong storage complex and the door was already open so we just drove right in and then the door shut and we got trapped in there. We eventually realized we were in the wrong place and had to call the old lady who owned it to come let us out. Fun fact my parents used to own a storage complex. Anyways it was super silly cuz we were just trapped in there for like 20 mins.

Me and my comp live with 3 other sisters so we sometimes stay up a little too late messing around and talking. But all 5 of us serve in the visitors center so on the days where we are there together we carpool and its so fun! 

My spiritual thought for the week is about diligence and patience. I have been reading in the Book of Mormon near the end of 2 Nephi and Jacob. In Jacob 5:75 it says "And blessed art thou; for because ye have been diligent in laboring with me in my vineyard, and have kept my commandments" and I think that ties into Hebrews 6:15 which says "And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise." Even when we are following the commandments, life will still be hard and sometimes we just have to patiently endure those hard times but if we are faithful and diligent then we can obtain those promised blessings and we can be sure that God is looking out for us and he knows us and wants what is best for us.

Ok hope you all have a good week and have fun watching general conference!! Love and miss you all!

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...
