Un Hombre Con Una Pistola Y Un Hombre Sin Pantalones

Hola a todos!

Miss you guys! Hope you all had a wonderful week! My week was pretty good, it felt super duper long with the extra day and adjusting to being in a duo instead of a trio but otherwise it was good! So many crazy moments this week so I'll give you guys the rundown. 

Hermana Jones went home a week ago it's just been me and Hna Gonzalez. She understands everything I say in English but almost always responds in Spanish which is helping me learn so so much and its so fun and my spanish is improving a ton. Sometimes when I don't understand she speaks English but we speak almost all spanish in our companionship so it's super fun! We did water balloon wars at district sports last pday which was so fun! Had some super good lessons this week and found a couple new people which is always good! Hna Gonzalez gives me all of the directions when we are driving in Spanish and sometimes she gets her lefts and rights mixed up so we've made a lot of wrong turns this week haha. We were outside of a inactive members house before a visit, kinda planning what we wanted to teach them because we didn't have a companion study that day so things were chaotic with planning and we were like "let's just share a video" so she was searching for a video and one popped into my head and I was gonna say it but then she clicked on the exact same video that I was thinking of. Out of literally thousands of videos she clicked on the same one I was thinking of. It was just cool to see how the spirit guides us what to teach and what to say. 

Last Monday, my mission president extended an invitation to our whole mission to find 100 people on President Nelson's 100th birthday and everyone in the mission worked real hard and we ended up finding a total of 192 new people yesterday in our mission which is crazy!

I got a haircut from a member and she had me stand up the whole time and it's was like 100 degrees in her house and the cape thing was like a sauna and I almost passed out like my vision went all black and I had to sit down for like 5 mins and drink some juice haha but I'm all good now.

Ok we knocked on a door and a man answered and said he was sleeping so we should come back another day but he also had no pants on which was super wierd because who answers their door with no pants on??? But he said we can come back next week!! Hopefully he has pants on when we visit him next.

We were going to have a lesson with one of our friends and they didn't answer so we were walking to go knock some other doors and as we were walking down the road, a man got out of his car he kinda yelled  "are you guys jehovah witnesses" and we were like "uh no we are Missionaries for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" but he also had a gun which kinda freaked us out. We said bye and walked away real quick haha.

Also I had to give a talk in sacrament which was absolutely terrifying. Giving a sacrament talk in English is scary but in spanish it was even scarier.

Something that stuck out to me from my studies this week is when I was preaparing for a training I have to give in the VC tomorrow. I was studying the history of the temple and baptisms in the temple. It was just really cool to learn about how much the early saints sacrificed to build a temple here in Mesa. I think we take for granted the fact that we have so many temples so close by but back then, almost 100 years ago, they gave up literally everything to build a temple. So this week I've just been feeling extra grateful for the sacrifices that the early saints made to give us temples. Especially because I got to go to the temple this morning and it was just so peacful and nice. I just love the temple and love that I get to teach people about temple blessings in the visitors center. 

Ok I hope you all have a great week! Sorry this email was super long. There were just lots of good moments this week that I wanted to share. Ok byeeeee love and miss you all!

Christmas On The Mish And No More Lights!

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!

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...
