12.22.16 - ¡Feliz Navidad!

¡Feliz Navidad de Mexico! 
Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and can really feel the Spirit this season.  It has been so incredible being a missionary and being so close to the spirit all the time. He is literally my best friend and I have loved every minute of it.  This Christmas season has been especially special to me because we get to focus even more on the true meaning of Christmas.  This last Sunday, we watched "To This End Was I Born", the video of the life and Atonement of Christ.  I had seen it before when I was younger, but as a missionary, it just hit me harder than it ever has before.  I could feel the Spirit so strongly, and my heart was filled with so much gratitude.  My testimony grew sooo much, and I just wanted to go out and share with everyone the message of the Gospel.  After we watched the video, we had a district discussion, where we talk about it, share our feelings and thoughts and what not.  I didn't talk for the first little bit, because I couldn't without tearing up.  I had the words of "Savior, Redeemer of my Soul" going through my head, and it just made me cry.  I shared my feelings, and I could feel the Spirit so strongly.  The love Heavenly Father has for us is so strong, and is unimaginable. He loves us so much that he sent his son to die for us, so that we can be forgiven and return to live with him again.  And our Savior, our older brother, Jesus Christ loves us so much, that he come to this earth, organized his church, and then performed the ultimate act of love, and died for us.  He died for us, so that we can live again. "Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me. Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me. "  I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and for the love that he has for me, and for all of us.  I am grateful to be able to repent everyday, and to feel clean again through his Atonement.  I am so grateful for this season, and for the opportunity we have to remember the birth of our Savior, and that he came here to save us.  

This last week we found out our travel information for heading out into the field! Oh, also, I don't remember if I told you all this or not, but my comp is going to Cuernavaca too!! So we get to travel together! We leave Tuesday morning at 5:30 for a couple hour drive to our mission and then I think we start proselyting once we get there.  I am so PUMPED. I can't wait to share the gospel. I'm also slightly terrified because the Latinos speak reeeeeaaaally fast Spanish, and don't always use consonances. So I'm pumped. And scared. but i have faith that it will be alright! And i will learn quickly, i hope.  ;)  I have loved my time here at the CCM, and I have learned so much.  I cannot wait to teach and to share this gospel with others. It is so special and important to me, it is the best gift I can give.  

Thank you all so much for your love and support!! You are all incredible, and I am so blessed to have you in my life!!

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...

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....

3.21.17 - Primera Cambios en el Campo!

Hola!  Okay, so we had transfers today, and guess who I'm with?! That's right, Hermana Can from Cuernavaca. She is such an angel! I loved our one day together back in January, and I'm super excited to actually get to work with her for reals this time haha.  We're doing great here in our little area of Sauces! We contacted lots of people this last week, like lots and lots. and we have new investigators! I love when we have new investigators. Because it means we get to teach! And the lessons are always my favorite :) We have a lot of people to contact this coming week as well.  All in all, the work is coming along great, and I feel like I'm becoming more and more the missionary that my Heavenly Father wants me to be.  I feel like I'm learning more and more each day and it's wonderful! I'm grateful for the time I had with Hermana Rosales, and all that I learned from her. And I'm excited to get to learn even more with my new companion.   Every...
