6.19.17 - First Week of Training

Well I'm going to consider this week a success. One of the best and most stressful weeks of my life. But I loved every minute of it :D
My new companion is suuuuuper awesome and we get along like peas in a pod. She is from the Dominican Republic and she speaks English :D so I'm pretty happy that I get to practice my English every once and a while. Especially because my brain was forgetting how to talk. I don't know how to explain it .... I can think in English, and write in English, but talking en English has become more difficult than I'd like to admit. but it's fine hahaha :D We practice every once and a while and it's pretty wonderful. 

We are in Tezoyuca and it is super beautiful here. There are tons of trees and the mountains are covered in green. I feel right at home :) The members here are wonderful, and they love visiting investigators with us. So everybody is happy.  

This last week was full of meeting new people, getting to know the area and trying to keep our stress levels from bursting out of the roof. The area here is super huge... So basically we're trying to get to know 4 cities without getting lost, and trying to remember which bus to take.. or mini bus... or if we have to take a taxi hahaha it seriously is tons of fun. 

We met a toooon of people this week, got to know their needs, and we already have 8 people set for a baptismal date. So that´s pretty niffty.

The investigators here are great, and I think we are going to have a ton of fun here in Tezoyuca :) 

I'll let you all know how the second week goes :) 

This last week we had some pretty awesome experiences, and one of them really made me realize just how much love our Heavenly Father has for each one of us. Sister Diaz was struggling a little bit (as we all do as new missionaries), and we were talking. But as we were talking, I could feel so much love for her, and concern. We went back to the house for a minute, and I invited her to pray. (she had been sharing with me some of her feelings and worries and basically everything and felt impressed for us to go home and let her talk to our Heavenly Father.) We returned, she prayed, and when we left, the spirit was with us so strongly. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father that loves us and is mindful of us. He knows what each of us is going through, and he knows how to help us, we only have to include him in the process. He knows our needs before we ask him, but he will only help us if we ask.  I am so grateful for the power of prayer and that we can communicate with our loving Father in Heaven.

I hope you all have a wonderful week :) 

Love you!!!! 

Sister Brinton

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...
