2.20.17 - Come What May and Love It

Hello Everyone! 

This past week was pretty awesome, as every week has been :) The mission is great and I love it so much here. This past week we had interviews with President Avila and his sweet wife. I love them so much. The interviews are always getting better because I understand Spanish more and more each time, and it's just awesome.  With Hermana Avila, she asked us to imagine ourselves as investigators and think about our progress (but as missionaries). How are you progressing? What changes have you made? How are you using the Atonement of Christ everyday in your life? How have you improved? As I thought about these questions, I thought about the past few months here in Mexico and my experiences as a missionary... I want to invite all of you to ask yourselves these questions, and think about your personal progression as a disciple of Jesus Christ.  I promise that the Spirit will testify to your heart as it did to mine.  I felt the love Heavenly Father has for me, and how he wants me to improve, and better myself as a missionary. I know the things I need to do to improve, and I know that I will have the help of the Lord every step of the way.  

Our Zone Conference on Wednesday was awesome. I love getting to listen to the messages of our leaders, and how we can all better ourselves as missionaries. Basically, zone conferences are the best :) 
This week a guy pulled over in his car, and shouted "Hey you! Do you know English?!" and told him that I do, and he asked a few questions, and all in all, he wants to receive the lessons. He's been trying to decide between religions and wanted to hear about ours, but he only speaks English. Hermana Rosales had me translate her testimony and write it down on a piece of paper in English and she's been practicing. I'll keep you updated on his progress :)
We also found this super awesome lady, Gloria. And she came to church with us on Sunday, (after having previously attended a baptist church for 25 years) and all in all, she said that it was really quiet, and wasn't quite sure how to feel about the Book of Mormon. She wants us to keep visiting her every once in a while, but I'm not sure she wants to come to church again haha.
We're helping a family prepare for the temple in April, and we are so excited for them. I am seriously so excited. They're doing everything they can to be ready and it is just the greatest thing ever. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY :D.....

.....oopsies. That sent too soon haha. 
I was basically finished anyway, but I love you all so much and I am so grateful for you! 

Love Hermana Brinton

Also, I will send photos next week...I accidentally left my cable at the house.

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...
