Hombres Muy Raros En Facebook Y Milagros!!!

Hola a todos! Miss you guys as always! Hope you had a good week. My week was jam packed and super busy but we saw lots of miracles and got lots done. Very productive week and it went by pretty fast.

I got a few more wild messages this week. I'll attach the screenshot of one of them below. But also I found someone named José who speaks Spanish and is actually super interested. We decided to call him when he was active on facebook and ended up sharing a scripture and getting his info. So I've gotten a lot of wierd messages recently but also had some sucess which is cool to see.

We had a huge miracle this week with a guy named Rubén. He referred himself to the missionaries through a YouTube video link so we got his information but it was pday and then we were in the vc and then it was zone conference so by the time we actually got in contact with him it had been a bit. He had referred himself twice and we thought it was a glitch or something cuz we had two of the same referrals. He just really needed to talk to the missionaries. Earlier in the week we went part-member finding and somehow ended up going to the same house two different times but it showed up as two different people somehow. We were super confused but then later in the week when we talked to Rubén we realized he is the dad of the person who's house we had gone to two different times earlier in the week. He is the only member in the part-member we had tried to visit. He is inactive so we had never met him before and that's why we didn't make the connection until then. It was crazy to see how God guides us to exactly where we need to be. Even though we didn't end up talking to anyone when we visited the house those two times, we were able to see how everything kinda came full circle. Not only are we are guided to those who need us, but they are guided to us.

We also started handing out invitations to the Christmas lights at the temple and giving machines! Pulled up to our friend Ramiros house to teach him a lesson and he was outside drinking beer and jamming out to music so we ended up just inviting him to Christmas lights haha. Next lesson is gonna be on the word of wisdom. Also invited a policeman to Christmas lights in the church parking lot after church on Sunday. We bought some tamales from a guy selling them on the side of the road and invited him to church and the lights. Best tamales I've ever eaten. 

We had zone conference on Tuesday and it was super good! Elder McGinnins, one of our zone leaders made me stand up and read this quote which is gonna be my spiritual thought for this week because it's so so good. It's from a talk called "The Imperfect Harvest" by Vern P. Stanfill. The quote reads "I believe that as Peter and the Savior walked back to the ship arm in arm, Peter soaking wet and perhaps feeling very foolish, the Savior may have said something like this: "Oh, Peter, fear not and worry not. If you could see yourself as I see you, your doubt would fade and your faith increase. I love you, dear Peter; you got out of the boat. Your offering is acceptable, and even though you faltered, I will always be there to lift you from the depths, and your offering will be made perfect." I was told to change my name in place of Peter's and imagine if the Savior was saying this to me right now. I got out of the boat by starting my mission and by deciding to serve the Lord. It's not easy to get out of the boat and give up everything. There are times where I falter and times where I feel like I don't measure up. But its in those times where I feel cloest to my Savior. No matter how humble or imperfect our offering may seem, if we sincerely lay everything at His feet then the Lord will turn our humble efforts into a perfect harvest.

Sorry this email is so long! 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

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...
