12.22.16 - ¡Feliz Navidad!

¡Feliz Navidad de Mexico! 
Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and can really feel the Spirit this season.  It has been so incredible being a missionary and being so close to the spirit all the time. He is literally my best friend and I have loved every minute of it.  This Christmas season has been especially special to me because we get to focus even more on the true meaning of Christmas.  This last Sunday, we watched "To This End Was I Born", the video of the life and Atonement of Christ.  I had seen it before when I was younger, but as a missionary, it just hit me harder than it ever has before.  I could feel the Spirit so strongly, and my heart was filled with so much gratitude.  My testimony grew sooo much, and I just wanted to go out and share with everyone the message of the Gospel.  After we watched the video, we had a district discussion, where we talk about it, share our feelings and thoughts and what not.  I didn't talk for the first little bit, because I couldn't without tearing up.  I had the words of "Savior, Redeemer of my Soul" going through my head, and it just made me cry.  I shared my feelings, and I could feel the Spirit so strongly.  The love Heavenly Father has for us is so strong, and is unimaginable. He loves us so much that he sent his son to die for us, so that we can be forgiven and return to live with him again.  And our Savior, our older brother, Jesus Christ loves us so much, that he come to this earth, organized his church, and then performed the ultimate act of love, and died for us.  He died for us, so that we can live again. "Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me. Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me. "  I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and for the love that he has for me, and for all of us.  I am grateful to be able to repent everyday, and to feel clean again through his Atonement.  I am so grateful for this season, and for the opportunity we have to remember the birth of our Savior, and that he came here to save us.  

This last week we found out our travel information for heading out into the field! Oh, also, I don't remember if I told you all this or not, but my comp is going to Cuernavaca too!! So we get to travel together! We leave Tuesday morning at 5:30 for a couple hour drive to our mission and then I think we start proselyting once we get there.  I am so PUMPED. I can't wait to share the gospel. I'm also slightly terrified because the Latinos speak reeeeeaaaally fast Spanish, and don't always use consonances. So I'm pumped. And scared. but i have faith that it will be alright! And i will learn quickly, i hope.  ;)  I have loved my time here at the CCM, and I have learned so much.  I cannot wait to teach and to share this gospel with others. It is so special and important to me, it is the best gift I can give.  

Thank you all so much for your love and support!! You are all incredible, and I am so blessed to have you in my life!!

01.16.17 - Changes!

Hello everyone!!  I hope all of you are doing splendidly. I'm doing wonderful! I´m loving my mission so much! I love the people, I love the food, I love the mountains we have to climb everyday. The literal ones, and the spiritual ones.  I am so grateful for this sacred time for me to learn, grow, and teach. Inviting others to come to Christ has been so incredible, because everyday we do it, my relationship with my Father in Heaven grows more and more.  Changes! So last night, we got a phone call from our AP, and he let us know that we are having changes. I don´t know why, but I´m moving areas. I´m headed back up to Cuernavaca with some other missionaries. When I get more details, I let you all know why haha :)  This last week was an awesome one! Lots of teaching, and lots of growing. We also discovered that my companion has low blood pressure, and bad circulation. So she needs to get some shots for it I guess... She´s been complaining of her arms and legs f...

01.30.17 - Don't Forget to Pray

Hola de Mexico!  I hope you all are doing great :)  This past week was pretty awesome. We had a meeting with our Presidente and he shared some incredible things with us.  It was for my generation of missionaries, just to see how we're doing, and to give us some more advice on how we can be the best missionaries we can be.  I also got to play the piano for it, both were hymns I had never heard of before so that was an adventure. A very rough one at that. But the meeting was incredible. I learned so many things, and how to become an even better missionary.  My testimony of prayer continues to grow and grow more each day, and I know without a doubt that He hears us when we pray with our hearts.  I am so grateful for the love and comfort we can receive by offering our hearts to him.   My companion and I had some awesome, and super spiritual bonding moments this past week which is always the greatest thing ever.  I love her to pieces and I...

2.15.17 - Hola Amigos!!

Hello everybody! So sorry I didn´t get a written email sent out last week. It was kind of crazy.  And the time we`re given just flies by haha. We are doing awesome here in good ol Chilpo.  I love my area so much and I love the people. Everyday it`s getting a little bit hotter, and the work just keeps getting better and better. I love getting to serve the Lord at this time, and I love the people I´m serving with.  Just lots of love!! :) And the food is wonderful. hahha at this point, I can handle the spicy foods a lot better than my companion... and she´s from El Salvador. I´m not entirely sure how spicy they like the food there, but she doesn´t like too much spicy here. So that keeps it interesting :)  Oh my heavens, one of the members here makes tacos in the evening for a living and hoooooly smokies. Literally the best tacos I have ever had in my whole life.  SO GOOD. just had to share that with you :) The past couple of weeks have been wonderful. We´ve...
