04.10.17 - (I couldn't think of a subject, but this is for the peeps) ;)

This past week was wonderful, we contacted lots of people and we have a couple people set for a baptismal date! The only thing they need to do is attend church, pray, read the scriptures, and learn for themselves. I love being a missionary and getting to help others come to Christ. And I especially love when they look back on their lives- at the beginning of our lessons, and now where we´re at in our lessons, and how much they´ve progressed and changed in that time. I love it. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. It´s the greatest. I love getting to see the spirit working in their hearts and lives, and then when they recognize that spirit. It´s the best.

I love getting to see how much I've changed…. I feel like I was a pretty good person before my mission, but now, I just want to be even better in every aspect of my life. I love everyone, and I am so happy all the time. The love for the people here that I feel is indescribable, and I know that it´s the love of our Heavenly Father. I´m learning more and more each day just how much He loves us, and there truly are no words to describe the love that our Heavenly Father has for us. We cannot comprehend the magnitude of the love He has for us. I love Him so much, and I am so grateful for the love that He offers me. He is my best friend, and has helped me so much in times of need and times of trouble.

Love you all, hope you have a splendid week!

Love,

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...
