04.03.17 - Conferencia General ♥

Hello friends and family!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend watching General Conference. I sure know I did. This conference was so incredible! I felt like every talk had something special just for me, and holy smokies were the messages powerful. I was able to watch all of the sessions, but one, in English so I was pretty happy about that. But I believe that the session that we watched in Spanish was more powerful than the others for me. Because I´m still learning the language, there were a few things I didn't understand completely, but the things I understood touched my heart with the Spirit on a whole different level. And the message that President Monson had for all of us... Short, but so powerful. I am so grateful for the opportunity we have every six months to listen to the prophets voice, and hear our Heavenly Fathers voice through him. I know that every talk is divinely prepared for us. I know that in ever talk, there´s something special that we can use to learn, or to grow, or to strengthen our testimonies.

I would share with you my favorite talk, but I don´t have only one... They are all so special to me, and I loved each and every one for different reasons. :)

If you didn't have the chance to watch conference, I would like to invite you to watch it. And if you did watch conference, I would like to invite you to re-watch, or listen to it over the course of the next 6 months until our next conference. I know that you will find new things you didn't hear before, and new answers to new questions.

I am so grateful to be a missionary in this time, and for the opportunity everyday to share His gospel. thank you all so much for your love and support. I hope you know that I pray for you every day! :)

Here is a video about The Resurrection of Jesus Christ if you haven´t seen it yet. Please share it with your friends and families. It´s one of my favorites :)

Love you all so much!!!

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,

2.20.17 - 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 h

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 l
