12.27.17 - In Cuernavaca Already!

December 27, 2016

Dear Brinton Family,

We are happy to let you know that your daughter has arrived safe and sound in the Mexico Cuernavaca Mission. She has been assigned to serve in the Sauces area in the Chilpancingo Zone. Her trainer is Sister Rosales. We are grateful to be able to serve with her in the work of the Lord.

This will be a time of much service and work that will bring growth and learning for your daughter. We hope that her experience here will strengthen her testimony and prepare her to be a good wife, mother and future leader in the church. Her experiences in the mission field will contribute to her development as a faithful and righteous servant of the Lord.

Your love and support will do much to lift and bless your missionary. We hope you will write her regularly, encouraging her to do her best.

Together with this letter you will find a picture that was taken the first day that Sister Brinton was with Sister Ávila and me.

We thank you for the love and support that you will give to your daughter throughout her mission. This is the work of the Lord and each day we see evidence of that in the lives of our missionaries and those they teach. We know your family will be greatly blessed because of your daughter’s righteous missionary service.

Sincerely,

President Hector Ávila Rosales

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 feeling tingly,

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 been teaching lots of p

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 am so grateful for her. Everyday w
