Last Week Of The Transfer!

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a good week. I honestly can't really remember what happened this week other than being in the vc a bunch for xmas lights and transfer news and going to the temple last pday.

Christmas lights is super fun but so exhausting! We get home at like 10:45 every night and only get to sleep in 30 mins so needless to say the sleep deprivation is setting in. I could not keep my eyes open in a single comp study or meeting this week, it was bad. But it's been so fun to meet people from all over and to get to see so many miracles every single day. We give out copies of the Book of Mormon like candy and it's so awesome. My absolute favorite thing so far has been the station where we are upstairs because that's where the temple model is. Its usually a lot slower upstairs cuz half the people don't even make it up there but because of that we get to have more personalized experiences with the guests. My favorite thing is when people ask "so what is this building?" or "what do you do in the temple?" and I just get to explain to them what a temple is and share my testimony of it all. Those have been some of my favorite moments so far. Also the pure shock on people faces when we explain the Book of Mormon and then tell them it's free and they can take a copy home if they want.

We got transfer news on Saturday night but I had an interview with my mission pres on Thursday so I got transfer news a couple days early. I'm going to L1 which is a spanish ward in downtown Mesa! I'm going to a real ward not a branch which will be a fun change I think. My comp is gonna be Hermana Rocha and she's from England. We know each other briefly cuz she serves in the vc too and she's awesome so I am excited! She's a transfer behind me so we both don't know spanish very well yet and I think it's gonna be super entertaining and crazy when we can't understand what's going on. I'm excited but a little nervous so wish me luck!

My spiritual thought this week is mostly just my testimony. I got a priesthood blessing last week and all I said beforehand was "can I get a blessing of comfort?" Every word was exactly what I needed to hear. The elder who did it doesn't know anything of my situation or struggles but somehow said everything I needed to hear. It never fails to suprise me and strengthen my testimony when I get a blessing. I know that God knows us and our feelings and thoughts. He wants us to succeed and be happy and one of the ways to help us do that is through the priesthood. I'm just grateful for priesthood blessings.

Ok hope you all have a blessed week. Love and miss you all! Write me a letter!

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!!

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...
