Conferencia De Zona Y Conferencia General

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great week! My week was super awesome and we did so much fun stuff!

This week we only had 2 normal days in our area because of zone conference and general conference and the visitors center so we sent our friends lots of messages letting them know we are thinking of them even though we don't have time to visit them. We made cookies and heart attacked a few people doors this week too which was fun!

Zone conference was awesome! Every training was so good, and it was exactly what I needed to hear. Also we got canes for the lunch which was so good! Then we went into zone breakouts, and here's where it got crazy. The ZL's and STL's had us read our patriarichal blessings and they talked about the atonement and then played "The Atonement and Missionary Work" video with Elder Holland which is just super motivating and spiritual video. Then, out of nowhere, they turned on a video that had motivational clips from all of our families and just them telling us how much they love us and miss us. Literally the entire zone was crying. The videos got President tearing up too. Then, to top it all off, they gave us letters from our families and testified of how proud the Savior is that we are serving missions. The spirit was so strong, and everyone was already crying from the videos from our families, so we were all wreck haha. But it was really motivating and good overall, just unexpected. Thanks mom and Dad, for the video and letter. Love you guys!

I got to spend so much time in the visitors center this week, and I just love being there. I'm not sure if anyone recalls, but I was kinda devastated when I got my mission call and found out I would be serving there. But now I absolutely love it and sometimes being there is the best part of my week. It's so fun to meet people from all over the world. Some people who speak persian came in this week which was so cool!

General conference weekend was awesome! I got to watch all the sessions in the vc and took tons of notes and literally every talk was so good! I wrote down some questions I have had recently and every single one of them was answered. I loved the quote "this is the church of JOY!" and that "Christ is joy, Christ is hope; He is the promise of good things to come." There are lots more quotes but I love how one of the main focuses was on joy and how we can find joy in the gospel and in Christ. 

Ok hope you all have a super good week! Feel free to send me an email or something! Ok love you guys!

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...
